But doesnt that mean Trump wins again? Hillary had 99% chance to win the election up until election day. Polls are just false hope for people
That isn’t accurate, polls just before election day had Clinton ahead but not by a great deal RCP average of +3.3. And they were not far off on a national basis - Clinton won the popular vote after all. Where they fell down was narrow wins by Trump with late breaking voters in some key states which is why I mentioned those states in my follow up.


And the polls on this date in previous elections were


Obviously a very long way to go though.
 
A lot 2016 voters were less “pro Trump” than they were “anti Hilary”

Biden doesn’t need everyone to be for him. As long as enough people are now “anti Trump” that might be enough to save the planet

I'd also imagine alot of that polling was done before Comey's press release on the Clinton emails.
emails, christ, simpler times.
 
Makes his VP choice huge especially as he's brought up purposefully being a one term President
yea, you'd have to think Klobuchar is out of the running now. I like Warren but I think I like her too much.
It would damage my soul to see her get pelted from the right and the left while trying to bring reform that benefited the people tearing her apart. Also the VP should probably be under 70!
Val Demmings is probably most likely, a black female former police chief. Might be a good unifying candidate. Can't say I know too much about her tho.
 
I'm getting the impression that Biden knows the party is changing and needs to make the transition to the younger diverse members.
Said it before but Biden has always been a consensus Democrat. He's moved with the party. Hence him being further left now than at any other stage.
 
Also:

To which Castro responds, "Get your hands off me!"

Kidding! If Warren had been nominated (as she should've been) I'd have liked to see her consider Castro as a running mate.
They also seemed to genuinely like each other which is always useful in a running mate - see Obama and Biden for a positive example and McCain Palin for the opposite. Palin’s weren’t even invited to McCain funeral iirc. :Blink:
