Quote:Trump is screaming about treason and 50 year jail sentences. He could do more than tweet by signing an executive order to his attorney general, worded approximately, "I have reason to believe President Obama and Vice-President Biden may have committed treason. I request they be investigated. If sufficient evidence is found, they be put on trial, and if found guilty, be sentenced." It is Trump's responsibility to make it happen. But he is NOT a guy who takes responsible action, is he?

Which genius at Vox trolled 7 years of Trumps tweets to find another post that used the word happens?
That sounds like an easy job. One that robots will be doing soon.
Better learn to code.

The Biden strategy
After the 2016 election, panicked, wounded Democrats settled on a diagnosis. Trump, for all his mania, bigotry, and chaos, had given angry Americans something to vote for. To stop him, Democrats would need to match force with counter-force, polarization with mobilization. They would need to show as much anger, as much populism, as much wrecking ball energy as he did.
Biden is running — and, for now, winning — by defying that diagnosis. He is executing a careful, quiet campaign focused less on thrilling his partisans than denying Trump the boogeyman he needs to reenergize his base. It’s a campaign that frustrates liberal activists and pundits because it repeatedly, routinely denies them the excitement and collisions that structure modern politics. It’s also, for that reason, a campaign that is frustrating Trump and Fox News, which is why they keep trying to run against Bernie Sanders, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and Ilhan Omar instead.

Biden is being quiet because his handlers put a muzzle on him. Biden's worst enemy is the lack of filter between his demented brain and his mouth.
Those polls are bullshit, just like they were in 2016.

The problem with the polls in 2016 was that they were over-sampled, which was freely discussed at the time. I'm not seeing any caveats about the polls this time around.
And the problem with the betting odds is that people are betting based on the polls they're reading, so they're not an independent measure. If anything, betting odds are a trailing measure from the polls.
The polls could be accurate as they stand today. But then there's Biden. People don't call him the 'gaffe master' for nothing. A lot can happen between now and the election.

Obama didn't dismantle secret surveillance, he extra-judicially drone-killed at least one American citizen, no one went to jail for the massive fraud of the economic collapse, wages remained stagnant, as many people went bankrupt due to medical bills under Obamacare as before it while deaths from chronic disease went up, and Ukraine, Syria, and Libya were Obama-promoted.
Most importantly, relations with Russia and any ability to negotiate over nukes went down and CO2 emission kept going up.
And Biden is more of the same, but now! NOW!! NOW!!! with even more baggage and fewer brains than ever!

Brilliant post REVERFAN. Funny how kikii jumps right in to deflect away from your post instead of sharing any disagreement of it; as always.

Stupid people don't know they're stupid, and they certainly don't realize how obvious it is to others.

Will the Republican Party Implode?
Some Republican governors have begun connecting directly with the vice president in order to circumvent President Trump.
Is the long-predicted Republican crack-up finally here? Pollsters and social scientists have been predicting an “emerging Democratic majority” for more than two decades.
Their main rationale was demographic. Groups that tended to vote for Democrats were expanding—college-educated, Hispanic, African American, older voters—while the core Republican base was contracting.
We published the first such piece, by Paul Starr, in 1997 (!), and two frequent Prospect contributors, John Judis and Ruy Teixeira, wrote a book by that title in 2002. As Starr pointed out, Bill Clinton, as an emblem of the new moderate South, made inroads in the 1996 election in several Southern states.
The most recent and comprehensive account, by our friend Stan Greenberg in his new book RIP GOP, identifies even more powerful demographic and ideological trends. Young people and single women are more progressive and intensely Democratic than ever. Old folks are coming back to the Dems, given the Trump-driven calamities in nursing homes. Racial justice is a majority cause once again.
What took so long for the emerging Democratic majority to emerge? One reason was electoral theft—the 2000 election. There were also major elements of theft in the form of voter suppression in 2016. And clearly, theft will be the main obstacle to a big Democratic win in 2020.
A second factor was the Republican embrace of the racist South. The sort of racial moderates among Southern governors represented by Jimmy Carter (Georgia), Bill Clinton (Arkansas), and Ray Mabus (Mississippi) have been eclipsed by Republican versions of George Wallace.
A third factor was the desertion of two core parts of the traditional Democratic base—older voters who were loyal to Democrats based on Social Security, Medicare, and memories of FDR; and white working-class voters who once voted wall-to-wall Democratic in the North, but saw neoliberal Democrats doing a lot for bankers and not much for them.
