Trump..... (The Sophistry Thread)

PINT of Stella. mate!

That doesn't explain where you've got this 'healthy leading total' from. At present Sanders is trailing Biden and the states where he was perceived to be strongest (New Hampshire, Vermont, California) have already voted. Biden is also picking up endorsements from all the candidates who've dropped out and whilst Warren is still in it, she's apparently been copping lot of abuse from both legit Bernie bros and the more sinister anonymous Bernie Bots for splitting the progressive vote so there's no guarantee she'll swing an endorsement Bernie's way either.

I agree that the deck would be stacked against him if went into convention with anything other than an outright clear majority but it's not looking like that'll even be a factor.

I’m becoming increasingly concerned about Biden’s mental faculties. It’s not just the gaffs and, forgetting where he is and stumbling mid sentence. On stage after Super Tuesday successes, he said ‘this is my little sister Valerie’, pointing at his wife.

He was drunk with power. He was high on glory. He...he...he looks like Skeletor.

It'd be a concern if he were up against anyone else but Trump himself has shown that you don't need to be coherent to be able to run a winning campaign.

Trump is vicious though. He’ll project, lie and destroy Biden on a debate stage.
Stick a pin in it. Biden will turn into a blithering idiot under pressure.

Trump is piss-weak when it comes to face-to-face confrontation. Hillary Clinton had him on the back foot on all 3 of their debates - not that it did much good in the long term, mind you. Meanwhile there's no shortage of footage of Biden getting feisty at people on the campaign trail and whilst those losses of temper may have worried those of a more 'sensitive' disposition in the Democrat camp, it's exactly the sort of shit that blue-collar Americans lap up.

They love a fighter and that's one of Bernie's greatest attributes too but unfortunately he's also saddled with the 'Demon Socialist Coming To Take Your Pensions' label which is never going to win when the economy (COVID wobbles aside) has been going so well.

Stock market has been strong, the national debt is skyrocketing under trump. Once the market corrects, ‘helped’ but COVID, people will hopefully see more clearly.
Trump is a bully when he has an audience and only one person to attack. He will lie and intimidate Biden. Bernie wouldn’t have a bar of that.

On what basis do you make this assertion? Biden's definitely bumbling, gaffe prone and out-of-touch but I can't find any evidence whatsoever that implies he is somewhat easily intimidated. There's plenty of footage of him losing his rag and snapping at people but being intimidated? This sounds more like wishful thinking on your part.

Anyway, Bernie's got bigger problems at the moment. it was bad enough with the Bernie Bro's turning people away with their aggressive enthusiasm but now he's got one of his most prominent endorsers Bill De Blasio sticking his foot in his mouth and implying that African Americans are low-information voters. That's already been seized upon by the Murdoch media and could soon become an albatross round his neck like Hillary's 'basket of deplorables' if he doesn't act quick and do some serious damage control.

Perhaps bamboozled is a possibility, rather than intimidated? Nothing like a rambling ranting idiot with a motor mouth to get you bamboozled by their endless noise and stupidity...trying to keep up with such idiocy is troublesome

Yep. Doesn’t matter that Trump has said/done a lot worse, they will crucify him for not just his gaffs, but his actual record. Anyone remember him Charing the Clarence Thomas/Anita Hill heading/investigation leading up to his appointment? I guarantee that will be bought up by the GOP, even if it was the GOP doing the damage.
