    I’m just not buying that. I think Biden’s people and a lot of people walking on eggshells for him may have convinced themselves of that (maybe). But I bet that narrative flips the minute he steps down.

      I’m not buying that. Trying to change candidates this late in the game is such a bad idea that the only person that would suggest it is someone who wants Trump to win.

        Given that every point of data shows Trump winning in a landside, and probably getting the house and Senate, if Biden stays in suggests that people advocating for Biden staying in want Trump to win.

        See what I did there?

        Fun fact, actual data supports one and only one of us.

        Are you a Russian bot that wants Trump to win?

            So… Let me get this right. Your only response is literally a named fallacy?

            What does your gut say the stock market will do next month, oh wonderful and correct Oracle?

                Your response was irrelevant. It’s not even data. It’s a literal named fallacy.

                “Trump won once, so he will again” is literally the same statement.

                Take a critical thinking class, cause you really don’t know how.

                  Again, I’m pointing out that the predictions you’re using are inaccurate and changing candidates this late in the game would cause a clusterfuck so big it would be a guaranteed win for Trump.

                    Referencing a time when an election turned out within the margin of error of polling isn’t really pointing out that the predictions are inaccurate. It’s pointing out that you don’t have the media literacy to interpret polling results.
