I'm not sure Joe is wrong that a recession will happen in the next 4 years - no matter who is president. The economy is cyclical, and way less dependent on the President than we like to believe.

Perhaps as spurious as Trump’s repeated claim that Obama was going to war with North Korea. Speaking of which...it appears as if we are much closer to that now than we ever were under B. Hussein. As a youth and during his formative years, Barack Obama was indoctrinated as he sat at the foot of North Korea's great leader, Kim Il-sung. It is no surprise we were never really close to going to war with North Korea during Obama's term in office. It’s rumored that Frank Marshall and Saul Alinsky kayaked him there fro Hawaii.

Biden already is making excuses why his Presidency will be a disaster. He says the next President will inherit a recession. He has not only been wrong for 40 years on international decisions he has backed, now he is wrong on America. if it happens before September 2021, it is at least 90% Trump's fault. and he will surely get blamed for it.

Obama was Kenyan, so since we had a foreigner for a president, we might as well let them vote too. Kenyans have a birthright to vote in American elections. any person on this planet with an American parent inherits that right.

trump: "Stick with us. Don't believe the crap you see from these people, the fake news. ... What you're seeing and what you're reading is not what's happening."The world heard that before and we eventually ended up in WWII. Okay, we were told by democrats we would be at war about a week after he was sworn in. We heard it before and now we hear it from you. If at first you don't believe keep saying it. list the "democrats", please.
I admit that many worried about that, and still are. I can't imagine a worse CIC.

Kenyans have a birthright to vote in American elections. any person on this planet with an American parent inherits that right. But...but...Obama was born in Kenya even if his birth certificate states Honolulu, Hawaii. His dad was Kenyan. And his mom, well she didn't really matter according to the anti-Obama crowd. And I was being facetious with my original response (all Kenyans have a birthright to vote in U.S. elections).

this race really only got interesting in October. to his credit, Biden didn't even react to the pressure. he is now back up by 9%. second tier is Warren and Sanders, 10 points down. Buttigeig and Bloomberg are way back on the 3rd tier, 20 points below Biden. the only thing that can possibly change this now, imo, are the primaries themselves. if one of the candidates has a better than expected showing, it could make it interesting. otherwise, we are probably looking at President Biden.

If even 10% of it is true, that guy is as bad as Trump.

They can poll for whomever they want. ... What is being reported on in the link is not a poll, it is the betting odds established by various bookies.

Oh, ye of little faith! The polls were all against Trump up to the end of November. Trending upwards since then when Republicans told Democrats their tactics will bite them in the butt. Members here have to quit drinking the democratic kool-aid. Take two aspirin and you will feel better in the morning. P.S. Check your stock portfolios this week. Up up and away! Housing market and new home construction up and up more. Consumer sentiment, other than cranky Democrats, high. Recession? No, a resounding no! President Trump will increase his Electoral College numbers on the Presidential race in 2020

that is because people have looked at her medicare for all proposal, the centerpiece of her campaign, and are not convinced it is the best way forward. I am one of those people. I want a dual system, like Malta has. it is the best system out there, and we, as the wealthiest nation on Earth, should have the best system.

I go to Stossel's site weekly. it is in some ways better than polling because it is continuously changing. I am not a gambler. I have a rudimentary understanding of parimutuel betting from going to horse/dog tracks over the years. I am not sure how similar it is to what is happening with the numbers reported on the Real Clear Politics site. Isn't it all about where gamblers are putting their money and balancing it out so that the bookie makes money no matter what happens?

when that thing is politics, you have guys who are reading over polling numbers, looking at demographic trends, and doing predictive analysis on what MIGHT conceivably happen, which is more than pollsters generally do.
does it make them more accurate? they like to say so. maybe it is true, maybe not. but it does make them more current.

Is Trump still going to have it paid off in, what 5 more years! Those crazy liberal conservatives can't stop themselves from spending!
The $738 billion bill — which authorizes spending and lays out policy guidelines for the Pentagon — includes a high-profile deal that grants federal employees 12 weeks of paid parental leave in exchange for creating Trump's Space Force. www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/senate-sends-dollar738b-defense-bill-to-trumps-desk/ar-BBY5NNk?ocid=spartandhp
