He will help the dems by primarying Don for sure.  He'll get him to fatigue by debates and twitter wars (god help us but at least Walsh holds nothing back)  I would have much preferred he and his supporters (Conway and that smirky face Kristol in particular) had instead used their voices to actually support a viable candidate like Weld who is already in it for the right reasons, but regardless this gets orange popsicle to spend money and resources in primary that he would have saved for the fight against Dems.  Orange Julius will not be able to ignore and not engage and during that time the Dems can (god willing) get it together and focus on supporting one lead candidate.


And I'm all good with Joe.  Mixing up VT & NH twice in one weekend is enough.

I'm guessing Trump never bothers to campaign against Walsh (except his usual twitter stuff) and still wins the primary in a landslide.

We need to stop revering old farts so much that we vote them in when their brains have started deteriorating rapidly. Having a lot of wisdom is great until you lose your ability to function well enough to actually use it. This affects people at different ages and obviously it's affecting Biden and Trump, although Trump has always been an a$$h@!e.

Biden fading, Warren surging, Sanders re-surging. Harris fading.

 

This is the DNC's nightmare scenario. 

 

If the trend continues, they will pretend that they loved Elizabeth Warren all along.

 

Anyone but Bernie.

 

Like him or not, Sanders read America correctly four years ago, and both people and policy have moved towards him, a fact mainstream Democrats and media are keen to obscure.

Beto needs to drop out and run for Senate. He's not moving the needle for most people nationally, but he has potential in a race that matters.

 

That said, he does have some good, common sense things to say to the nation. To wit:

 

 

i agree with you that he needs to run for the senate....but i believe he is holding out for the VP job right now.

If only he could look in the mirror and see that not running for Senate is in fact helping Trump.

Yes, polls this earlier are like taking the BCS poll after the spring game....  the spring game before the just completed season at that.  But regardless, things for the Trump camp aren't looking too good.  The mood has swung against him on the economy and his loyal support remains at a dismal 40%.  Even Mayor Pete is well ahead of Trump in the Quinnipiac poll.

If the 2020 presidential election were held today, 54 percent of registered voters say that they would vote for former Vice President Joe Biden, while only 38 percent would vote for President Trump. Matchups against other top Democrats show:

  • Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders topping Trump 53 - 39 percent;
  • Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren ahead of Trump 52 - 40 percent;
  • California Sen. Kamala Harris beating Trump 51 - 40 percent;
  • South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg leading with 49 percent to Trump's 40 percent.

Looking at all of the matchups, President Trump is stuck between 38 and 40 percent of the vote. These low numbers may partly be explained by a lack of support among white women, a key voting bloc that voted for Trump in the 2016 election. Today, white women go for the Democratic candidate by double digits in every scenario. Though it is a long 14 months until Election Day, Trump's vulnerability among this important voting group does not bode well for him.

"In hypothetical matchups between President Trump and the top five Democratic presidential candidates, one key number is 40," said Quinnipiac University Polling Analyst Mary Snow. "It's the ceiling of support for Trump, no matter the candidate. It hovers close to his job approval rating, which has stayed in a tight range since being elected."

Voters say 56 - 38 percent that they disapprove of the way Donald Trump is handling his job as president, compared to the 54 - 40 percent disapproval he received a month ago.

The Economy

For the first time since President Trump was elected, more voters say that the national economy is getting worse than getting better, with 37 percent saying it is getting worse, 31 percent saying it is getting better, and 30 percent saying it is staying the same. This compares to a June 11, 2019 poll in which 23 percent of voters said that the national economy is getting worse, 39 percent said it is getting better, and 37 percent said it is staying the same.

Trump's approval for his handling of the economy is split, with 46 percent approving and 49 percent disapproving. On his handling of other issues, the president is decidedly underwater:

  • 38 - 56 percent approval for his handling of foreign policy;
  • 38 - 59 percent approval for his handling of immigration issues;
  • 38 - 54 percent approval for his handling of trade;
  • 38 - 53 percent approval for his handling of gun policy;
  • 32 - 62 percent approval for his handling of race relations.

In addition, 62 percent of voters say that President Trump is doing more to divide the country as president, while 30 percent say that he is doing more to unite the country - an all-time low. These numbers may help explain why only 36 percent of voters report that they are very or somewhat satisfied with the way things are going in the nation today.

Losing every Margin-of-Error level candidate is small sad moment, since a D nomination of Beta-Mayor-Horse would help Trump quite a lot.
