Trump's whole shtick is the stock market and how it's going up because of him. Only 44% of stocks are now up since election day. Unless things change fast Trump is fucked, but it's already too late. Trump fucked up by not taking it seriously and saying it's just the flu as late as last week. Travel restrictions should've been done a long time ago.
But the Democrats fucked up too by screwing Bernie in favor of Biden. Joe Biden is not going to beat Trump in an election. Let me tell you exactly how it's gonna go down:
Trump blames the Democrats for the stock market tanking. His supporters blindly eat that shit up. Joe Biden can't defend himself because he's literally senile. Ends up making Jeb! look like child's play. Trump wins big.
Bernie would've won. Trump should be thankful the Democrats are bigger fuckups than him.
That is as long as Trump isn't dead by election day because he refused to get himself tested after surrounding himself with people who tested positive.

A little tired of the narrative that Bernie 1) is more electable than Biden and 2) is the victim of fearful democrats defaulting to the presumed more electable option. That's a factor for sure, but the main problem is that Bernie based his entire campaign on trying to engage younger voters (the least politically active demographic) and it didn't work, period. He performed worse against Biden than he did against Clinton (predictably, because Biden is actually likable unlike Clinton). Sanders' politics are still about 20 years ahead of their time for the US which still leans right-center and the democrats who are voting aren't as progressive as the 20-something liberals that propelled Sanders' popularity (a portion of which haven't been showing up for him at the voting booth). The proof is in the numbers: Biden overwhelmingly has the black vote, he's overperforming with college-educated whites and white voters without a degree, white collar voters, and blue collar voters. If Sanders was more electable, he would have been able to reach these demos.
Another contributing factor is Sanders' belligerence which has alienated him from the more moderate democrats he desperately needed to reach. He positioned himself against the democratic mainstream and agree or disagree with that stance, you have to be incredibly naive not to expect the fallout of a diminishing base. I voted for him in the primaries because that's the only time in an election cycle that you can vote for your favorite choice, and I do happen to agree with a lot of his politics. But the voters have spoken. Sanders is not more electable than Biden.

Somehow, despite all of these facts, it will still be spun that Clinton and Biden "stole" the elections from Sanders even though they both, you know, received more votes.

But the voters have spoken. Sanders is not more electable than Biden. Sadly I could see Joaquim's scenario coming true, but I don't know maybe I'm being too optimistic right now because I'm already feeling dumb now that I'll probably be one of the 10% in my state to get the coronavirus because I went outside, but I think that Biden might pull it off now because of everything going on. Plus I agree he's way more likable than Clinton ever was, and I don't think that most people give two shits about the fact that he's losing it compared to the alternative that we have now. I also agree with you about Sanders. He really should be winning on the healthcare for all platform right now, but unfortunately this all broke too late for him to stop Biden's momentum.

Biden is all but guaranteed to be the nominee. He also polls best against Trump now too. People want a return to "normalcy", and Joe fits that bill, although with Republicans, I don't think that's so possible these days. I think if / when Biden secures the nomination, he can get an Obama 08 style victory in terms of percentage, and he puts states like Arizona and Georgia heavily into play. My only concern with Joe is his mental state and age, and even then he's been acting stronger since his huge victory. The coronavirus will definitely play a part in his victory too. That's going to have repercussions on the economy, which is pretty much the only thing potentially keeping Trump afloat these days.

The biggest mistake Bernie made was to constantly say how Biden can beat Trump and to not pressure Biden on his record like he could have. He was too nice, and that was a bad political move imo. There are bigger reasons as to why he lost, such as how the whole establishment came together at the perfect time to stop him and Warren doing whatever the hell she did, but it is what it is. Bernie helped put his agenda on a path that will hopefully be carried by another politician that can bring it to fruition. I'm not sure who that politician will be, and it could take years, but the movement won't end here.

Oh honey, I'd love it to be AOC. I've just written a screenplay where I play her. It begins with AOC working as a waitress in a cocktail bar when Bernie Sanders (played by Ben Affleck) discovers her. She has just about given up on her dream to make it big as a politician until Sanders coaxes her into the spotlight. But even as AOC's career takes off, the personal side of their relationship is breaking down, as Sanders fights an ongoing battle with his own internal demons. I have a spectacular scene at the end when he walks into the ocean and drowns... Meryl to play Hillary... I have some really great ideas for campaign rally musical numbers. Maybe a love triangle with Joe Biden (played by Leo Dicaprio)... This could sweep...

Maybe a love triangle with Joe Biden (played by Leo Dicaprio)... This could sweep... Oh Legend this sounds brilliant! When you say Sanders' "internal demons" is that dementia, heart problems, or being haunted by the ghost of Trotsky? Regardless, I wrote an AOC screenplay and the studio paid me a small of fortune for the exclusive rights........for them to burn and defecate on it and to never ever speak of it again publicly. But that money has been long since been spent on booze, hookers and penicillin and I've been assured our identities are hidden here. My script was for Ana de Armas as AOC but she has since been replaced by Emma Stone who was replaced by Scarlett Johansson. I think it had some of my most daring work but they got cold feet - some of the fictional character names including two wonderful and unnecessary drug lord characters - Dirty Sanchez and Frito Burrito - were somehow offensive to them? Anyway my script focused on Biden/Bernie/AOC but in our film we were casting closer to age and type: Bernie was "a more sexy, less Jewish Richard Dreyfuss" and Biden was "a less coherent, less hairy, and as old as possible version of Will Ferrell". We were just about to hold casting sessions when everything was held up by an outbreak of Gonorrhea among the scriptwriting team film employees. The next thing I knew everyone was washing their hands constantly and wearing masks around me and I was told to go home and isolate myself and to pray, like I've never prayed before. Anyway, I'm using the time to update a nymphomaniacal, bi-sexual, multiple personality disorder version of Single White Female. Great role, I'll reach out to your agent after I'm less symptomatic.

Yikes.
So many points made in this video that are just false. Anything for a V.P position though. Not one bit of integrity in these politicians.

Biden will pass the polygraph test. He honestly forgot everything that happened in 1993 for sure.
