I think it's pretty much a given that it's likely going to be Biden vs Trump.

Beto and Harris fella kind of fell off the map in terms of getting the Dem bid.

A poll by John Stossel?

Why trust these odds?
Studies find that political prediction (betting) markets tend to be better at predicting elections than polls. Some reasons:
- Bettors take into account important factors besides polls.
- Unlike pundits, bettors put their money where their mouths are.
- People involved in the event might trade before news breaks publicly.

My own thoughts; Joe Biden is the dems choice so far for the nomination. But "new Joe" doesn't seem like the old Joe. He seems to be over compensating to be his old self, thus the lack of enthusiasm from the rest of his party. Face it, he's a bit "over the hill". All we need is the old fogy (if he becomes president) to start apologizing to the rest of the world for all of Trumps' actions such as demanding countries pay their fair share to NATO, reversing all the tariffs, so that the U.S.A goes back to being the "piggy bank" to the rest of the world.

just a bit of advice, dolo...if the website you're looking at looks like the signage at a used car lot, you might do well to take the messaging with a grain of salt and have some extra scrutiny

i take it you're a bit older, but this is a key recommendation imparted to students undertaking research papers or projects, in addition to making sure that the sources of such sites are scrutinized

The president is a jerk. He should be fairly easy to overturn in 2020.

The night king is probably polling higher. That's how big a jerk he is.

Sanders seems to have more energy than Biden. I doubt if the U.S.A. Would become more socialistic and less capitalistic if Sanders got elected. Biden is more of an old fogy, he just looks bad. “Put ya all back in chains”! MOG

Your president fears Biden and must fear the other candidates if you're here extolling the virtues of Bernie Sanders.
