We've had this discussion before, but if you find the political platform of the Democratic Party inherently unpalatable, and let's be honest there's plenty of sound reasons to do so, then you're likely going to vote for Trump. This is also why they're keeping Biden in hiding right now. Does anyone ever remember a nominee for POTUS being as invisible as Biden is right now? They're trying to keep the focus on Trump's failures and away from Biden. This isn't an effective long term strategy though. Eventually he is going to have to campaign and Biden will inevitably stick his foot in his mouth, numerous times. Couple that with the likely extreme party platform the Dems will advance this year (or risk facing an internal civil war if it is not sufficiently "progressive") and I think you'll see a much closer election than many here are counting on. Three months is an eternity in politics, a hell of a lot can happen in that time. Here's a key thing to watch for. If Biden's team tries to eliminate or severely curtail the debates it'll be a sign that they're not confident of the results.
I’m not crazy about Biden and which I had a better option from the Democrats. With that said, Biden is a better option than Trump. No, I haven’t seen less of a presidential candidate roughly three months before Election Day. But, I’ve never seen an election during a pandemic like this. We know Biden will say something stupid so limiting the opportunities for unforced errors is a smart strategy for now.
