It boggles the mind that a race between a lifelong decent politician and "criminal" liar and cheat is a CLOSE race.

[@josefeibl8230]

Lifelong lying politician whose done nearly nothing in 50 years? He did get more black people incarcerated, didn't he? He also gave a good eulogy at his KKK friends funeral.

[@carlocalingasan998]

If Joe Biden was decent, he would have won the presidential race 40 years ago. He had to withdraw then because he was caught plagiarizing a speech and falsifying his educational merits. Also, he sent blacks to jail in the 90's with his infamous 3-strike rule. And if asked he is still proud of it.

Another approach is to think about "what would actually be concerning to me?" Rather than what the dozens of random articles will tell us is concerning. And that's an answerable question. For me, if we were to enter a depression between now and election day, if we were to suffer a major foreign policy loss, like the collapse of Ukraine, if a *real* scandal came out about Joe, if the protests on campuses gained serious staying power, and grew, *and if* two to three of those four I just listed happened, then I think we'd be looking at a Biden loss in November.

[@madboyreadynow28]

As a voter I am so sick of the every day polling conversation. The always campaign talk. When a new president is selected we should not talk about the next election until after the new year of that new election year. They talk about this stuff every day of the week as if the election is tomorrow. Most voters are tuned out. If a pollster calls me I’ll hang up but I am a registered voter and ready to vote in all local, state and federal elections and I do. Do not call me asking about poll questions.

[@smitty5890]

I do understand the money. What is disturbing is the news reports on who has the most money and who it is being spent on. What happened to electing the best for the job ? It truly seems that no matter who you are you can run and make a difference if you have and spend the money. That's sad

[@kbone8137]

"One of the journalists covering the trial says the former president was “editing” and “making notations” to the speeches his allies made outside of the courtroom Tuesday. “In court yesterday, actually, I was sitting close enough that I could actually look over Trump’s shoulder and see what he was reading. At one point he was actually reading the quotes that these individuals were-and going through and making notations with a pen on the paper,” New York magazine contributing editor Andrew Rice said on MSNBC Tuesday. “While Michael Cohen was testifying against him, he was actually going and going through and annotating and editing the quotes that these people were going to say,” Rice added.
