I Don't Know If Joe Can Do It

[K1052]

Biden campaign says they raised north of 300M in August which would be a record for any campaign AFAIK.

Seems believable since they are putting up 10s of millions in new ad buys right now.

I saw this story this morning online and I'm left to wonder how many in this thread are just being spoon-fed Russian propaganda (wrt Biden's alleged mental status):

DHS withheld July intelligence bulletin calling out Russian attack on Biden’s mental health

In early July, DHS withheld publication of an intelligence bulletin warning law enforcement of a Russian scheme to promote attacks targeting Joe Biden's mental health.

Wouldn't be there first time.

Also I think there is an argument that this could have seriously backfired with senior voters.

So then what causes Trump's meandering bullshit? Pure projection to imply Biden has mental issues. Listen to Trump in interviews back in the 80s, it doesn't sound like the same person. It's hard to even read a transcript of one of Trump's monologs, they are almost entirely non-sensical--unless it's one of the times he's just reading his speech. Listening to him is like listening to a small child try to tell you a story.

They're really working both sides of the aisle: if I recall from NPR this morning, some of the Russian propaganda groups removed by Facebook and Twitter the other day were targeting progressives, likely in an attempt to reduce turnout for Biden

Yep, 2016 all over again. I'm sure Bernie was robbed this time too, vote third party is protest, Biden made some dumb statement sometime, but hey, who cares, Trump is the honest to goodness troofsayer

It's definitely not the "series of mini-strokes" which Trump is suddenly *very* concerned that everyone knows that he *definitely* didn't have.

Getting people to believe things about Joe Biden that they don't believe about Joe Biden is very difficult and the Trump campaign is bad at it, exhibit 1,832.

Thinking Trump's campaign didn't collude with the Russians 2016 and falling for new Russian propaganda in 2020 are probably related.

Well, subject being if joe can do it. If it, is raising money, then yes he can.

Biden raises a record-shattering $364 million in August

The Democratic nominee raised more money for his campaign and joint committees with the Democratic Party than any presidential candidate in history.

I wonder what the high water mark is for Independents and Republicans voting Democratic?

I wonder what the high water mark is for Independents and Republicans voting Democratic?

Ideally it should be 100% against Trumpity Dumpity. But how brainwashed is his loyal 90% of the Republican base???

In terms of sheer numbers, I'd bet Obama in 2008 simply because so many votes were case. In terms of percentages, maybe LBJ in '64? Goldwater took a real thrashing, even if it's a depressing truth that he arguably won the long-term war. If not '64, it would surely have to be one of the elections FDR won.

brainwashed enough to vote a second time.
Theres mountains of evidence the man lies every day, ass fucks America weekly, and commits treason monthly.
None of them care.
Fox News is better than anyone the Nazis or Soviets ever produced.

Running as the outsider during your 4th year in office is indeed somewhat awkward. It relies entirely on selling voters that none of what's happened is your fault which is a slight departure from "I alone can fix it". The likely shape and sound of a 2nd Trump term isn't theoretical like it was before.

especially interesting considering this is also coming from the guy that was eager to take credit for the economy since the day of his election.
