Two political handicappers give Biden the electoral lead

[JackAttack FM]

It seems the worst President ever would have to come up with almost twice as many electoral votes as Biden to win.

And currently in most of the swing states assclown Trump would have to win, Arizona, Michigan, North Carolina, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, Biden is leading inthe polls. Has been leading and has been gaining.

This is about what one would figure. Trump hasn't expanded anything and his razor thin margins in Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania are way too fragile to say that people haven't moved away from him.

The bettors at PredictIt literally have it as a coin flip right now - 46-46.

I think the Coronavirus changes the dynamics of the race significantly compared to even just a month ago. How this will all play out, I really don't know. One advantage Trump does have right now is that he's in public in front of a camera every day while Biden barely has any visibility whatsoever. Trump also has anywhere from 50 to 54% approval on his handling of this crisis thus far. Those numbers are higher than his general approval rating.

I give the slight edge to Trump right now but also acknowledge that the fallout from this virus could cost him the election depending on the timing of things and just how bad it gets.

To offer some counter programming Biden will be doing updates from a library at his house that they’ve converted into a studio. The setup actually looked decent but they realize they’ve been buried under virus headlines.

Johnson wasn’t nearly this bad... Carter had bad circumstances... this is just horrendous and neither of the other two were completely senile.

Did you forget about Johnson's Vietnam War where we lost 58,000 young men for nothing. They were no threat to us.

That started under Eisenhower in 1957 and continued through 4 presidents until ending under Ford in 1975? Calling it Johnson’s war is a tad disingenuous...

Well if want to go that far it really was an extension of Truman in 1945, because the of collapse of Japanese government. resulting in the leadership vacuum in Vietnam.

BUT

In August of 1964, after DRV torpedo boats attacked two U.S. destroyers in the Gulf of Tonkin, Johnson ordered the retaliatory bombing of military targets in North Vietnam. Congress soon passed the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution, which gave Johnson broad war-making powers, and U.S. planes began regular bombing raids, codenamed Operation Rolling Thunder, the following year.

It was definitely Johnson's war.
