Makes me wonder which Republican has the best chance then. My bet is someone who is not at the lead of the fundraising pack as of yet. Nikki Haley? Chris Christie?

I mean with any luck, they have painted themselves into a corner of hypocrisy and wedge issues so heavily they can't win the presidency for another 12 years. But as we all know, Americans can't just let OK, they get restless and just vote for change for changes sake eventually.

I'm hoping literally any Republican wins the primary and then trump runs third party. He could pull a Nader for the next three elections easily, stealing a few crucial % of votes. The party deserves it for creating that monster.

A reminder that these polls assume people who support Biden are actually going to get out and vote for him.

Everyone should make sure they are registered to vote and then actually vote.

Seems like Manchin would be a spoiler candidate for Republicans more than Democrats. He might pull off some 'conservatives' that would rather die than vote for the 'democrat party' but also can't stomach Trump. But I'm not seeing how a potential Biden vote decides Manchin in the better option.

Statistics can be used to prove anything. 3 out of 4 people know that.
