The Republicans will find a bigger idiot to win. They always do.

In the one major election we've had since 2016, he lost the house in a year where the Senate was his to lose.

I don't think he will. But the downballot is more important this time around. A lot of the places we picked up in 2018 were because we didn't pass an "internet Scoailist Litmus Test" on them, and we won in Republican districts on Healthcare, opioids, and work. Combined with the Trump handling of the pandemic, I think we'll be fine.

It's politics 101, use your brain like a real adult, sheesh.

If you think Biden will be a continuation of Trump, you don't know what you're talking about.
