That was a car crash of an interview! Pelosi was all over the place.

Funny at the end of the interview where both of them were trying to have the last word. At the very end Blitzer talks about seeing people begging for food and money on the street and Pelosi asking if he gave them some! :lol: Typical media hypocrisy though if he or CNN cared that much about people like that then why don't they talk about them rather than spend 99% of every hour talking about Trump?
Isn't that what TDS is? No one in power really cares about anything other than their own power. Compassion is something they speak, not something they show imo.

Pelosi had a meltdown on CNN last night so that was funny (probably the reason Biden drifted a few ticks)
This has to be the weakest Democrat party ever? Certainly I can't remember anything like this in my lifetime. And they are 1.46 odds on favourites! :shock:

Absolutely, but strong enough to beat the Clinton set-up from 5 years ago which seems far superior to Team Biden.

Would you by any chance have a large red on Joe Biden jameegray1?

He's running at 94% approval for Republicans, can't imagine many doing better than that

I'd imagine you have a large red on Trump

I've neither a red or green, and that qualifies me as completely neutral and impartial on the subject. :)

Yes and No

Yes if don't level up and No if I do. But I am not the one that is constantly displaying confirmation bias in this thread as you and jameegray1 have been doing. I'm not a fan of Joe Biden.

Absolutely I do. Every now and again I look in on the market and get worried - then watch some more Democrat TV interviews and end up topping up even more on Trump! I know I've said it before but I just can't see Biden beating him. I kind of hope I end up with a big fat red egg on my face come November. Scratch that, I hope I've traded out into a big fat green in the run-in and Biden scrapes over the line.

Were you hoping they'd be odds-against favourites? ;)

Postal vote in Florida is well up on previous years so far and significantly more than 50% are for Biden

Hillary Clinton was a toxic candidate, just as unpopular with a lot of Democrats as she was with Republicans and she still managed to get 3 million more votes than Trump. Joe Biden is much more popular with the public than Hillary could ever dream of being. Comparing Hillary and Biden is like comparing apples and oranges.

And before anyone asks no, I don't have a big red on Trump. I have an all green book, healthy green on Biden and comedy green on Trump.

If Trump loses the election I'm looking forward to Republicans suddenly growing a spine, watch how many of them will then come out against him, Fox News could even turn on him. It could get very ugly.
