Has the Biden campaign succumbed to a false sense of complacency around the state of the 2020 race? There is still a lot of game left to play and events yet to occur that will alter the trajectory of the race, but is the Democratic candidate nimble enough to meet them?

    per million

    So, where are you getting deaths per million for Europe as a whole. On worldometer, when I click on Europe that field is not field in / calculated from the other data.

    Even so, you can not possibly be right, at least according to worldometer. Among all countries, the USA is the 10th worst on a deaths per million count, with only the European countries of the UK, Spain, Italy, Sweden (and San Marino and Andorra) being higher than the USA in this metric, and they hardly make up the dominant population of Europe as a whole.

    Joe,

    Laura Ingraham just did a very nice short piece on this.

    The by country the Europeans aren’t better and are in fact worse. On top of that if you were to separate the blue states from the red states the difference would be huge. Trump has done a good job. Democratic governors have not.

    Regards,

    Jim

    Abe Christine John & Noah,

    Let’s get to the point. Biden was nimble enough to be Obama’s token white VP. Of course, many modern androids have surpassed this rudimentary level of nimbleness. At that time, his gaff rate was about 1 major gaff every two months. He has deteriorated considerably since those days. His gaff rate is now very close to 1 major gaff every time he says anything longer than a paragraph. I suspect his wife is dressing him in the morning and cutting his meat for him at dinner. Not good.

    So the old joke around the synagogue is that some Jews are so welded (yes welded not wedded) to the Democratic Party that if they ran Hitler (or Rashida Tlaib) as a Democrat these Jews would vote for him. Now the question is if the Democrats ran a Zombie (the living dead) for President would loyal Democrats still vote for him.

    An open question.

    Regards,

    Jim

    Well based on my daughter who became a Democrat because of Trump, the answer is definitely yes.

    Your daughter was Independent or Republican and switched to Democrat?

    When? The timeline is important

     

    When Trump won the primary in 2016. She voted for McCain and Romney.
