I highly doubt this lead is anything close to sustainable. I'm pretty confident his lead is going to go down in the next month. The question is how much, which is hard to say. If he remains 10-15% ahead throughout the summer, then it'll be hard not to see him as the favorite, rather than the current frontrunner. I'm certainly not going to be "grateful" if Biden wins easily, though, since I could very easily since the general election being 2016 all over again.

Looks like Atlas was right and one major candidate is crashing and berning (sorry), just not the one they hoped predicted it would be.

I understand that Biden's consistency in the polls is distressing to some in the primary, but you're all going to be grateful for it come next year once the primaries are over quickly and Biden is coasting to an easy win.

I can empathize, know the feeling only too well. I thought Trump was going to flame out at some point after each contest in 2016 and that Kasich or Cruz or even Rubio(!) could still take him down. Eventually they’ll arrive at the same inevitable conclusion we did in 2016, just give them time and let them move the goalposts in the meantime.

Are you twins with someone? Anyway, if Biden only gains more and more support after saying a series of stupid things, then we can call it a 2016 redux.

No, but it seems that Republicans are a little more objective here than you guys. We’ve been through this before, and it was painful for many of us. Tongue

Republicans are not exactly objective, either. Most actively want Biden to win, even if they'd never actually support him over Trump.

Biden doesn’t even need to gain more and more support, and it’s far from a sure thing that he will (a) say a series of stupid things and (b) that even if he did, such comments would actually hurt him to the extent that he’d lose such a commanding lead.

I didn't say either was a sure thing, simply that he would need to say a series of stupid things and not lose any support for it to be a "Trump redux", as many Republicans are claiming it will be.
