    Sen Mark Warner might as well be a Republican

    I would say that any one suggesting the Democrats stick with a candidate polling in the low thirties might as well be a Republican.

    Republicans need the Democrats to stick with Biden. They literally are fucked if the Democrats pick almost any other candidate. 70% of Americans think Biden is mentally unfit to be President.

    70%.

    Thats an insane number. Biden is over. He can’t win with numbers like that.

    There aren’t going to be any legal battles and its going to be the best earned media the Democrats will ever get in the history of the party if they go to a contested convention. The presidential election is nothing at all like a smaller regional race. Whoever ends up being the candidate will get literally billions of dollars in earned media by simply “becoming” the candidate. The whole drama of it suddenly engages what is currently a completely disengaged voting populace.

    So no.

      Edit: downvoted by Russian agents.

      70%

      I would like to know how they reached to this number.

      Because it surely isn’t out of all Americans.

      Source: nobody polled me or my friends.

      Edit: not all Americans, as you claimed in your comment. All voting Americans; and my claim still stands. Nobody asked me or my friends.

      Edit 2: The same poll asked if Trump is a liar. Almost 70% said yes. Compared to almost 60% saying that Biden is a liar. I’m very suspicious of polls these days.

      Edit 3: to be clear, I also believe that Trump is a liar. Just that the Biden numbers are suspiciously too high.
