2 things I still believe, this barring major events:
1.)Today - Trump would win.
2.)President Biden - has a waaaaaaaay better chance in November than the Right or Left or Media or Consultants are thinking.
If Biden divests further from the they/them Taliban..... and he truly talks real about CHIPS and INFRASTRUCTURE and Insulin...... then Trump should be worried.
I read that Biden is in touch with Bill Clinton - - this should be another worry for Trump. If Biden listens to Clinton, versus to listening to the insulated Club 401K snobs here and to those they watch on TV again - Biden has a better shot.
"Half the country supports Donald Trump....and even if you do, I am so happy that you can afford your insulin now. "
"Half the country supports Donald Trump.....and even if you do, I'm glad you're getting those good jobs in Ohio, Arizona, Pennsylvania and Alabama thanks to the CHIPS act and infrastructure bills"
"You can disagree with me----that's your right. But no matter what I've got your back".
I'd tell him to speak those words every time he gets a chance between now and November because if he does - that forces the Right to be "FOR" something and not just against things ---they'd be in the same pickle that Kerry was in 2004.
If I was a Trumper - I'd be hoping to hell that the coastal are the voice of the Biden campaign.

And that the campaign takes their talking points from MSNBC, like the insanely bad take they had on illegal immigration after Super Tuesday. Not just delusional, but insane.
I still think Biden wins, for a few reasons:
1. Trump is his own worst enemy, and one of the least disciplined politicians ever. He'll do or say something stupid, or one of his surrogates will.
2. democrat voters will come home. This "uncommitted" stuff is just a protest vote. No way those folks don't vote [d] in the fall.
3. Biden will skip the debates and do very little public campaigning. Why should he? The media will do it for him.
4. Trump is a turnout machine...for the left. The hatred they have for the guy is downright creepy.
So I don't see it for Trump. The polls that are being taken today don't matter, either.

Biden is trying to project more concern about the border than earlier (say 2021 or 2022). That isn't resonating with folks like yourself, but it may be making some inroads into the swing voters. Still too early to tell, IMO.
I agree with 1, 2 and 4**, definitely. I don't think Biden will do 3. It might make him look weak. He needs to show the public that he isn't too old, or at least if he is, then his opponent is just about the same age with the same (or worse) problems.
I'm hardly a campaign wonk. But I think Biden needs to emphasize Jan 6, the various criminal proceedings, the already-done rulings (e.g. rape of Carroll), Trump's -sometimes incoherent- ramblings, his numerous positive statements about dictators, and the like. As well as Biden's infrastructure package, siding with the unions (e.g. walking picket lines), creation of new jobs beyond that which was just part of coming out of COVID self-quarantining, etc.
**Except it isn't creepy. It's sensible. If I traveled in the celebrity circles, I would NOT associate with Trump. At all. I wouldn't invite him to my galas, I wouldn't accept any invites from him. He is creepy, and disgusting, and odious, and any other negative superlative you care to mention. I can't understand why at least 1/3 of the country don't see his creepiness, and will vote for him even if he shoots someone on 5th Avenue and starts wearing a swastika armband (and grows a weird little moustache). Literally, I think 1/3 of the country would still support him. I foresee much wailing if he is sent to prison, and more wailing when he dies...like the images of women in Gaza wailing over their dead relatives.

The dems and libs will reap what Biden sows if he wins.
The illegal alien invasion will continue. New York City will more of a hell hole than it already is.

We need legislation, LM, Trump is responsible for killing our best chance at it for a decade. And I do think states that are hit hard should get some help, but we don't know what that looks like yet.
