Trump vs Biden may not be the match Democrats are hoping for
Fox News.com ^ | May 13, 2019 | Liz Peek

Posted on 05/13/2019 8:14:24 AM PDT by Kaslin

President Trump is ready to rumble. At a recent rally, he mocked the large field running against him and implored Democrats to “Just pick somebody; let’s start this thing.” Nobody since Bill Clinton has showed such enthusiasm for the fight, or is so good at it.

At the same event, Trump completely obliterated Democrat wunderkind Pete Buttigieg, saying: "He’ll be great representing us against President Xi of China…I want to be in that room. I want to watch that one."

Who didn’t automatically picture the fresh-faced young mayor from South Bend facing off against the battle-tested, remorseless Xi? It is a devastating, and lasting, vision.

Trump has recently declared “Sleepy Creepy” Joe Biden his likely opponent in 2020, saying the former vice president could keep the pole position throughout the campaign. Everyone else, he says, is “fading fast.” He may be right.

Even as nearly every political soothsayer suggested that his first day as a candidate was likely to be his best, Biden has proven doubters wrong by pulling dramatically ahead. According to the RealClearPolitics average of polls, he now leads next-closest rival Bernie Sanders by an average of 27 points, up from 6 points the day he entered the race.

This, in spite of his unwelcome hug-fests, recent bone-headed dismissal of China as a rival, and an emerging story suggesting he used his office to win his son Hunter business deals with government-backed Chinese operators. Not to mention the frantic efforts by Democrat competitors to grab headlines.

For months Biden has been advertised as the candidate most likely to beat Donald Trump in 2020, and during that same period numerous surveys have shown that “electability” is Democrats’ number one priority. In head-to-head match-ups, polls show Biden indeed coming out on top by seven points.

Harris isn't going anywhere.

No intelligence, no ability to think on her feet (thinks better on her back I hear)

Not even qualified to run per USC.

Even blind rats see this one.

Biden is suffering from old age dementia. He will not be able to actually run a campaign. He will not be able to debate or handle unfriendly media. He will try to hide like Hillary.

The reality is that Biden is only there so democrats can get to centrist democrat money. The money will flow into PACs to support Biden then he will get knocked out of the race. Everyone in the party knows Biden can’t go the distance.

Obama has lost his moment with Joe Biden. Coming in late is no way to go through political life in the real world!!!

Obama is worried about his own skin...he is thinking a custom made orange suit will soon be a gift from the DOJ. He wants nothing to do do with failed Joe Biden!!! What a guy, that Obama...not one ounce of loyalty in his entire demented body!!!

It must suck so bad to be a Democrat right now, when you get the candidate who can’t help himself from committing sexual assaults on a regular basis, because all the others are substantially worse!

Biden Political Rally Attendance, One Rally, 400 (Maybe, real count 250) Supporters, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

Just about all of them union members. Mostly public sector union members, who were given the day off, and told they had better show up for this if they expected to keep their job.

Imagine “Mayor Peter Butt” paying a state visit to Saudi Arabia where gays are given the Sharia treatment.

"..Harris isn't going anywhere. No intelligence, no ability to think on her feet (thinks better on her back I hear)..."

-------

Agreed. HeelsUp Harris is a wreck. A day or two after answering softball questions at a "town hall" or staged MSM event, she is backtracking and rephrasing her answers after her staff realize what a bomb she dropped. She might be good on her knees (we'd have to ask Willy Brown) but she is not ready for prime time.

Swallowswell isn't serious about the presidency. He is a nobody trying to get some face recognition for when FrankenStein finally is determined to be lacking a pulse.

Guess you don’t agree with the article. Kamala is a horrible person and a worst candidate one who only Hillary would be proud of. Speaking of Hillary she is still there in the shadows waiting for another shot at President Trump.

Trump would BURY Biden. Imagine a series of debates between these two.

If Mayor “Pajama Boy” Pete takes a trip to Saudi Arabia...he will be invited to a high roof top lunch from which he will neither use the staircase or elevator to get back down to the ground floor. I suggest he should always avoid visits to the Middle East or other “Muslim” countries. Better to be safe then sorry, Pete, Old Boy!!! Wise up...dude!!!

Joe looks like he’s on the verge of death.

Imagine his running mate as a likely fill in. That would be another good angle for President Trump to work.

Fox reporters can be so vanilla.

The Dems don’t want a match. In fact they will stop at nothing to move int the White House without a match

Absolutely Nothing.

Don’t make the mistake of thinking I have even a speck of respect for Harris. I don’t.

There’s a sizable portion of the dem party that wants a woman candidate. A minority woman, even more so. California has an early primary, much earlier than it has had in the past. Harris is a Senator from California. In California it is hard for outside candidates to compete. It’s a huge state, with 4 states worth of media markets.

That makes it a win or lose state for Harris. If she doesn’t win the primary, she’s toast. If she wins, she’ll shoot to the top in the polls. Which of these scenarios do you think is more likely?
