2020 US Presidential election

[duke63]

Joe Biden has chosen a black woman as his running mate..

[Kwacky]

She's a lawyer. I reckon she's there not only to win over the non-white vote but to challenge Trumps plans for delaying the vote

I like Biden, I really do....but I'm not sure this was a good decision on his part.
First off Harris is a woman (obviously!)....historically that hasn't worked out too well...
Geraldine Ferraro was the proverbial nail in Walter Mondale's election coffin back in the mid-'80s.
And Hilary Clinton's comedic effort at a presidential nomination didn't exactly set the world ablaze.....although to be fair, she did manage to nab the Secretary Of State job as a consolation prize.
Now I get that having an African-Indian on the ticket might get Biden some extra votes....at least theoretically. But I can't help but think it's going to alienate a larger number of Democrats and move them away from the party.
Add to that Biden's age ...he's 78 or 79, and I think he's pretty much just handed the election to Trump, which is a shame.

[Kwacky]

I think Trump has got this one regardless. The country is divided and there aren't enough democrats to bridge the gap.

[D41]

Yep....once they're elected, they're usually in for two terms,.....only Carter & Bush Sr. spring to mind as exceptions...at least in my lifetime.
I think Hoover only did one term, back in the 1920s.....and Ford only did a partial term in the '70s - but he wasn't elected to either office.
I'm sure there were some more way back when...

[Cav]

There's no point in an election IMO, Trump will remain.

[D41]

Possibly, but if there was ever a "sure thing" in a US election, Trump near-automatically retaining the Oval Office is not it, IMO.
And Trump doesn't do himself any favours, either...he has a few derogatory nicknames for Biden...."Sleepy Joe" & a few others - that's just downright childish behavior... especially from a head of state.

[duke63]

Its not a foregone conclusion. America will be entering the winter by then and the virus may have an impact on the result of the US keeps getting more and more deaths.

[Perkles]

Biden is creepy AF

[Cav]

Nicknames for Biden do seem fair enough to me.

I tell you what, I've been looking into more of this Child Trafficking circle and the amount of politicians from the US is absolutely disgusting. Let's just say Obama is one of the few not mentioned in these lists. Various members of the Trump family, Bill Clinton, Bush and Blair are some of the 'highlights'.

As for Trump for president, I really do not see him losing. I kinda just want to leave the planet to be honest.
