John King is pushing the theme that the only reason Biden is leading is not because they like

Joe Biden, but they don't want Trump

but King and others may not want to acknowledge is why they want trump out, and that is because he is a racist, sexist, bigot, who has mismanaged everything he has touched, and hurt millions of people

He had a republican pollster on there pushing the republican view point, wait tell they find out about Biden, things will change

Hopefully, that change change to remove his sorry ass from the WH

Joe Biden is a totally known commodity. Everyone knows who he is and what he stands for.

& knows he is going to lose, hence the criminal enterprise against the US post office.
Years of GOP mud slinging has left many voters with GOP fatigue. They have nothing to offer but hate and that has an expiration date when it collides with the clusterf**k the country is now.

Our disagreements over other issues will come to the fore later and we can all handle that so long as we have preserved a fraction of our democracy.

We need to get beyond this crisis in order to survive and build

"No one really likes the other guy. He's only leading by 10 points because my guy is so universally hated." Okay, go with that argument.

I guess any votes for Biden because the voter didn't like Trump don't count. Is that it? I'm not sure whether King is more childish or infantile.

ignorance and gullibility combined with wanting to believe it. Those who like this are just adding it to other, similar delusions that give them those warm reassuring fuzzies that they're right.

Commitment to truth, whatever it is, is 99% of the difference between competent citizens and useful idiots.

But clearly, the Democrat candidate is leading because the general public does not want Trump as President anymore. That's no "knock" on Biden; it just shows how toxic Trump is that the polls are so far apart. If they dumped him and went with virtually anyone else, the polls tighten just like in any other election.

Doesn't matter why voters are turning Biden's way. The fact that they are merely underscores the nature of the race:

A Referendum on Trump and His Nonexistent Leadership, His Toxic Effect/Damage on the Country and Citizens

The fact that Joe Biden doesn't scare disenchanted Republicans and Indies is a plus. The fact that Biden is a decent individual with a big, open heart is a plus. His experience, his knowledge, his stability. All pluses.

I've supported Biden from the start. His choice of Kamala Harris has electrified our own voters, ensuring an excited and enthusiastic turnout. I supported Joe Biden for one simple reason--my fervent belief that he could win. And so far?

Biden is proving me right.
