not sure what you are referring to

haven't you said a million times about how Biden is a return to normalcy?

restoration is the word i've used

i thought you've long said words and rhetoric don't really matter...it is policy and actions that do...isn't that your position...so if some dems want to blow off some steam and say they will pack the courts does that really matter

i don't think packing the courts is a good idea at all and would be surprised if something like that actually happened

but i do think DC statehood is likely if they win the senate and that has some effect on the long-term balance of power

puerto rico is more iffy but not out of the realm of possibility

but those things have been out there as possibilities for a while now...i think the dems should focus on that if they want to consolidate power rather than trying to pack the supreme court

and the smarter dems (and I would not put Schumer and Kennedy in this group) know that

Biden up substantially more than Hillary at the same point in 2016, particularly in state polls.

Cant wait till we hear all thr stories of what the pollsters got wrong after trump wins.

Here's a hint.

Democrat oversampling and we have created an environment where a trump supporter puts their livelihood at risk for saying they support him.

Prepare to be disappointed on election day.

The polls don't look good for orange one but if he loses he will have left us with lower taxes, less regulation, no new wars, and 3 supreme court justices who aren't liberal hacks.

Not bad for a term. I expected substantially worse.

Regulation has gone up.

i don't think there is any doubt very poorly chosen one will turn out to have been a very consequential president...just not the kind of consequential that his supporters imagine

Yes, I said from the start that a Hillary presidency would be better for conservatives, if we are still using that term to describe the spineless, no-principled sycophants on the right.

With Hillary in the WH their hypocrisy would not have been revealed so appallingly.

you're saying reps would have been better off with HRC installing 3 justices?

Sarah Longwell is one of the smartest and most effective ex-GOP strategists working against very poorly chosen one

While voters see Mr. Trump as the better steward of the economy, they increasingly view him as the weaker option for dealing with coronavirus. Mr. Biden now has a 22-point lead, 51% to 29%, on who is better to manage the outbreak, up from 11 points in June. Mr. Trump has faced sustained criticism for playing down the threat while pushing to reopen the economy.

Their latest poll also shows Biden doing well with seniors, a group that has moved his direction on concerns about very poorly chosen one's "herd mentality" strategy.

But hey we know those polls are all wrong and that all voters love very poorly chosen one on all issues.

For months Joseph R. Biden Jr. has condemned President Trump as a failed steward of the nation’s well-being, relentlessly framing the 2020 election as a referendum on the president’s handling of the coronavirus pandemic.

Now, confronted with a moment that many believe will upend the 2020 election — the death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg and the prospect of a bitter Supreme Court confirmation battle — Mr. Biden’s campaign is sticking to what it believes is a winning strategy. Campaign aides said Saturday they would seek to link the court vacancy to the health emergency gripping the country and the future of health care in America.

While confirmation fights have long centered on hot-button cultural divides such as guns and especially abortion, the Biden campaign, at least at the start, plans to chiefly focus on protecting the Affordable Care Act and its popular guarantee of coverage for people with pre-existing conditions.

Arguments in a seminal case that could determine the future of the health care law are set for a week after Election Day, with the administration supporting a Republican effort to overturn it. Mr. Biden will accuse the president, as he already has, of trying to eliminate protections for pre-existing conditions during a pandemic, aides said, with the stakes heightened by a Supreme Court now short one of the liberal justices who had previously voted to keep the law in place.

this is a politically smart way to frame the question of who fills the SCOTUS seat

stays away from the culture wars

This is why it is so critical to keep the panic porn going until the election

Which is ironic because obama/biden did worse for swine flu. They were just lucky it was less deadly.

Its great when you have the media on your side.

Yeah...just do whatever it takes to remove a peoples choice for president with fake investigations and overhyped viruses.

Seems reasonable.
