Peeling off iffy, not deeply attached to the gop, the surburban women who have kids and are watching. We need the purple-ish voters wrapped around major urban areas.

My example, Columbus has Dublin as a suburb, that area is the Ohio 12th.

Recall the special election in August?

From wiki-"Only on August 24 was Balderson officially declared the winner of the special election, which witnessed a significant swing away from the Republican Party as Balderson won with a margin of less than 1%, while fellow Republican Trump had carried the district by 11% in the 2016 presidential election."


That was damn close because that area is ruby red.


I'm not a big fan of Sen Sanders, for many reasons, but caring about the message-Democratic Party is the better choice, nis freaking important in my opinion.


YMMV

Donald has *nothing* but his same old song and dance routine. Virus don't GAF about name calling and empty promises.

America is waking up to the fact that divisive politics, pettiness, and ignorance of science is costing lives. A lot of those older conservatives who vote R no matter what are shitting their pants right now, and rightly so.

We don't actually HAVE a real president right now, and the American people are desperate for one, so might as well act presidential.

The true opponent is Trump (not Bernie), so this makes total sense to me. Remind the people how a real president behaves.

Trump can spit and sputter and call names all he wants, but one will be providing scientific expertise and advice along with much-needed comfort to the American people...and the other not. The difference is stark. People will appreciate this and will remember.

MSM won't like it, but they have to give him some time when he comes forth with plans and ideas to help. Laugh at the record player all you want, but Biden has resources, people talent. Especially
in the medical world because of his work on the Moonshot program. And when he phones, well, it’s the VP.
