Joe Biden and the Democrats will only harm themselves by trying to work with Republicans
As of November 16th, Donald Trump has still refused to concede the Presidential election to the rightful winner, Joe Biden. None of this is that surprising — Trump has never admitted defeat ever in his life. He instead lies about the system and the election being rigged against him. He did a similar thing in 2016 claiming he lost the popular votes only due to illegal immigrants casting ballots. Of course, his appointed panel to investigate voter fraud turned up zero evidence to this claim. …
A Biden Landslide is on the way
We are only two weeks out from election day and the picture looks quite grim for Donald Trump and the Republican party. After a horrendous debate performance and catching Covid-19, Trump’s campaign is in freefall. The national polling average shows Biden with a double-digit lead and almost all swing state polling is leaning towards Biden as well. In addition, most election models show the Democratic Party winning both the Senate and House.
Understandably, Democrats are reluctant to celebrate early after the 2016 election. But they should breathe a little easier this time around. This race resembles the 2008 race more than it does 2016. That election ended in a landslide for Democrats and Biden may be in an even better position than Obama was then. On this day in 2008, Obama led McCain by a margin of 6.8 points (49.5–42.7) nationally according to the RealClearPolitics average. Biden leads by 9.0 points (51.3–42.3) today. Obama ended up winning by 7.3 points and won the Electoral College 365–173, a landslide for modern times. …
To ensure your vote is counted and Trump is defeated, it’s best to avoid mail ballots.
As Covid-19 continues to ravage America, there is serious concern over the election in November. Joe Biden is leading comfortably in the polls at the moment and at the same time, President Trump is openly talking about delaying the election. Trump has also called this the most corrupt and inaccurate election of all-time and it hasn’t even taken place yet.
To combat the coronavirus, many states have granted large numbers of absentee or mail ballots. This measure is great in theory, as it allows Americans to safely vote from home, minimizing the risk of contracting the virus. …
As the Trump Presidency falls apart, Biden has become the clear favorite
It is hard to forget the feelings from November 8, 2016, when Donald Trump did the unimaginable, in defeating Hillary Clinton to win the Presidency. Before the election, Clinton was declared a large favorite, with some models giving her as much as a 98 percent chance of winning. On Election night, Donald Trump managed to dismantle the “blue wall” by winning Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin by the slimmest of margins.
This time around, Trump faces former Vice President Joe Biden. Although he holds a similar worldview and politics as Hillary Clinton, Biden finds himself in a great position heading into the home stretch of this campaign. …
We shouldn’t yearn to return to the past
We are now over two months into most of the United States being under some type of lockdown order. Here in the state of New York, we are currently required to wear masks if we need to go out in public and we can only begin to reopen some businesses if we have two straight weeks of decreasing hospitalizations.
A lot of Americans have started to get used to the current situation, whether it’s working from home, being unemployed, or now being counted on as an essential worker. …
It only took a pandemic for many to realize it
On Wednesday, April 8th, Senator Bernie Sanders decided to bow out of the Presidential campaign, essentially handing the Democratic nomination to the former Vice President Joe Biden. It was a heartbreaking day for so many dedicated supporters and volunteers. This time around was supposed to be different — Bernie was going to win.
The race didn’t go according to plan. After winning the first three contests, South Carolina happened. Joe Biden won convincingly in the Palmetto State, with Sanders coming in a distant second place. The media then took it from there driving their narratives of Bernie struggling with black voters and that Bernie’s base is just too small. Remember, he had dominated the week before among voters of color in Nevada. Next, Mayor Pete Buttigieg and Senator Amy Klobuchar dropped out two days before Super Tuesday and endorsed Biden. Former candidates, like Beto O’Rourke and Cory Booker, got behind Joe as well. …
Only Bernie Sanders is siding with democracy.
The main story from the Democratic debate in Nevada was the utter collapse of Mike Bloomberg. He was bruised and battered by all of the others on stage, especially Elizabeth Warren. He had no response for his horrid record of Stop and Frisk or for the many allegations of sexual harassment. He proved that money may be able to get you onto the debate stage but that it can’t change history. Bloomberg’s numbers will start to plummet and numerous candidates will benefit, leading to a clustered field.
There was another key moment Wednesday night. As the fiery debate was coming to a close, Chuck Todd levied a very interesting and important question to the candidates on stage. …
It’s a real possibility and it could mean an early end to the Democratic primary
We are just seventeen days away from the Iowa Caucus and it looks like Senator Bernie Sanders may be on his way to winning there. Since returning to the campaign trail from a heart attack in October, Bernie has surged in polling and in betting markets. And now, he is the favorite in Iowa and New Hampshire, who votes just eight days later.
The most recent Des Moines Register poll shows Bernie on top, ahead of his next closest opponent, Elizabeth Warren by three points. This poll is considered the gold standard and has called every Democratic winner there since 1988. …
Hillary Clinton showed her true colors once again and it’s time to admit I was wrong for choosing her over Bernie Sanders.
Hillary Clinton’s recent appearance on Howard Stern’s radio show is just the latest installment of Clinton blaming others for her embarrassing loss in 2016 to Donald Trump. The target this time is Senator Bernie Sanders. This isn’t the first time she has gone after him and it probably won’t be the last.
In the interview, Clinton claimed that Bernie did not endorse her quick enough after the primary process and hurt her chances against Trump. This is simply not true. Not only did Bernie endorse her, but he also traveled all over the country doing rallies to get her elected. …
Andrew Yang tells a good story but UBI won’t solve our problems
Entrepreneur Andrew Yang has built his Presidential campaign centrally around one issue: Universal Basic Income. He calls it the Freedom Dividend. UBI is an idea that’s been kicked around over the last few years as a solution to the upcoming threat of automation. The theory here is that technology is moving so rapidly that millions of jobs will be wiped out at an alarming rate soon and the solution to this is to guarantee each person a monthly income, no questions asked. Yang has proposed that it should be $1,000 a month for every adult citizen in the United States.
To his credit, Yang’s UBI movement has been pretty successful, especially for someone who has no political experience before this. He has gathered a lot of grassroots support by actually speaking on some real issues and concerns of everyday Americans. …
