20. I think he stands a good chance of winning.

By good I mean about 50/50. Trump is shameless crook, but red states seem to love him, US elections are rotten, and incumbents aren't turned out very often. So if Trump manages to avoid being run out of office he won't be that easy to take down in 2020, even with all the investigations. Basically Trump gets to run on the Obama economy which after 8 years of incredibly focused attention is still running strong. If Biden can make the case that in fact, it's his economy, he might take the prize, but somehow I don't see Biden or Barack ever getting the credit they deserve for what they accomplished. Bill Clinton never did either.

Anyway I hope Joe gets in soon and runs like hell.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
