Should we expect a Biden polling bounce in swing states now?

With Joe as the last remaining candidate and most Sanders supporters getting on board, high-level endorsements coming in from people like Julian Castro, etc, should we expect to see Biden's margin against Trump improve by a few points in swing states?

Good primary, everyone.

I wasn't around for the 2008 or 2016 primary, but I've heard that they were REALLY ugly, especially 2008, and this primary was actually pretty civil in comparison. Can anybody vouch for that?

A glimmer of hope in November.

I know there's been a lot of fear about Russia influencing the general election, and rightfully so. But here's something to think about.

Russia wanted Bernie. They threw their whole weight behind him the last month and have done everything in their power to help boost him.

It's failed miserably, because at the end of the day, it doesn't matter how many online trolls and propaganda you spread when the American voters go to the polls and vote for the other person.

We can overcome the Russian meddling in November. We just have to GOTV.

Did anyone see the stock market expert they just interviewed on the stock floor?

“Everything is okay, everything is working how it should, this is all normal!”

Anybody stop over at Jackpine Radicals to see how they're doing? I did. Here's a sample.

These people are absolutely out of their minds. I've never ventured over there before, but good lord. And this is just a small sample of what I saw.


In regards to Elizabeth Warren:

(expletive deleted) (misogynistic slur) (misogynistic slur) 🐍.

Hillary McCarthy version II.

Now that’s something to be proud of. One of the most hated people in the world.

Two Republicans posing as Liberals."


In regards to the general election:

"If Biden is the ‘nominee’ I don’t give a rip what Bernie says about unity, I will either write in Bernie on my Ballot in November, or vote Libertarian (Greens generally don’t get on the ballot in my state). Not because I am enamored by the Libertarians, but because I will not participate in this charade and want to make my voice heard loud and clear. 2 party politics has to end.Voter turnout needs to go way down in november on the ‘D’ side. Biden needs to lose as badly as possible."

"Even so: evil will happen. And Biden, Klobuchar, and Buttigieg are its primary agents. As was Clinton last time. May they rot in in HELL."

"After 2008 I’ve been beyond disgusted. I will leave President blank if the bastards give it to Biden."

"I look forward to watching Trump tear the senile creep a new asshole on the debate stage. Oh, and the coke head son… Can’t hardly wait."

Anybody else see the differences between Bernie and Joe's speeches?

Bernie spent most of his time taking thinly-veiled shots at Biden.

Biden used his entire speech to talk about hope, and knocking Trump out of the White House.

I think that says everything.

My parents are lifelong Republicans. Never voted Dem, not even once. That's changing tomorrow.

Tomorrow, they're driving to their polling location in North Carolina.

They're casting their ballots for Joe Biden.

I don't think I've ever been prouder.
