If Trump quits before the election what will that do to Biden's chances?

I had that thought today.

Please share all your thoughts daily, OP. A new thread for each and every one. No skimping!

help a little bit, Biden needs so much help at this point, I am not sure what will happen.

Biden is in a basement bunker. God help us all! Meanwhile, his son Beau is swindling an International Orphan's charity with his $2million consulting fee. Such a family. Also, Beau recently had a baby out of wedlock with a stripper. That makes Melania look saintly.

I think centrists want to vote Republican, especially if the protests and riots (civil disorders) continue. Any Republican has a better chance than Trump. If we have real riots late in the summer, even Trump will win. And Pence does not come with Trump's personal baggage.

Trump's ego won't allow him to quit.

by Anonymousreply 14June 30, 2020 1:54 AM

Oh, please, R12. Pence has the stink of Trump all over him. He’s a Stepford wife with (allegedly) a penis. The riots/protests have been over for weeks now. Most people support BLM at this point.

[quote] Biden needs so much help at this point

Yes, clearly. What with being only 10+ points ahead in the polls and all.

by Anonymousreply 15June 30, 2020 1:55 AM

Who knows. Trump was 10+ points behind a month before the last election when his pussygate tape came out and still won.

by Anonymousreply 16June 30, 2020 1:59 AM

I have an idea. The Repubs should nominate Bernie Sanders. That way all the BernieBros will have a reason for living, the Dems will control the White House and Congress, and stability will return. Why not, Bernie was not a Dem anyway.

Biden's son Beau died five years ago.

by Anonymousreply 20June 30, 2020 2:04 AM

R19 he was. The third week of Oct 2016 polls from ABC, CNBC, AP, and Reuters all showed Clinton with a 10-13 point lead over Trump

by Anonymousreply 21June 30, 2020 2:07 AM

And after Comey's letter all her leads sank to under 5.

by Anonymousreply 22June 30, 2020 2:12 AM

Yes R22 just looking at the ABC tracking poll, she bled 11 points in one week. Went from being up 12, to up 8, to up 5, to up 1 in just one week. Comey fucked her so bad

by Anonymousreply 23June 30, 2020 2:15 AM

Comey and Trump has a huge assist in a craven national media, such as the execrable NYTimes.

How many times do people have to be told that the national polls don't mean anything? Because of the electoral college, it's a matter of states. Remember 3,000,000 more votes?

It would be a wash.

Whichever sucker they get to replace Trump would win back some moderate Republicans but would lose as many, if not more hardcore MAGAts who were not interested in voting for anyone who was not Trump and would likely sit home.

How many times do pedantic jackasses need to be reminded that Trump can't win the Electoral College with a national 10+ point deficit?

by Anonymousreply 29June 30, 2020 2:33 AM

Little to no effect.

The pandemic the recession and Russian hacking is not the time voters want to hear about the “small government” horse shit the Republicans would nominate.

Besides, the GOP is a fascist party and they would never turn against or question Hair Furor.

If Trump quits his cultists will refuse to vote at all. It'll be a Democratic landslide of unimaginable proportions.

by Anonymousreply 35June 30, 2020 2:54 AM

Biden and his team will make this election a referendum on Trump. Biden will let Trump dig his own political grave. When someone is sinking don't throw that person a lifeline

by Anonymousreply 36June 30, 2020 3:01 AM

If Trump quits, I think Biden loses. Almost all of the Dem enthusiasm is related to getting rid of Trump and there's a lot of right-leaning people turned off by Trump who would gladly vote for someone with the same policies who just didn't come off like such an asshole idiot all the time.

by Anonymousreply 37June 30, 2020 3:29 AM

Nah, they love Trump because of his racism. That's it. Without that the Trump cultists will sit at home and scream about libtards rather than vote.

But they (supposedly, anyway) give a shit about American soldiers. If all of this is true, it would be as gross a dereliction of his Presidential duties as he could possibly commit. Fucking with Biden and the Ukrainians for his and the Republicans' benefit is one thing. Knowing that Taliban fighters were receiving Russian bounties for killing American troops and doing nothing about it AND lying about it when called out on it might be that bridge too far for the Republicans to follow. All it would take is one big crack in the Republican dam to bring it all down.

by Anonymousreply 44June 30, 2020 6:44 AM

I would also add that his pick of VP could be the nail in the coffin, just like with Hillary and Tim Kaine. What the hell was that? Biden will need to bring more to the table to secure a win. I guess we'll have to wait until that cat is let out of the bag. August 1st(?).

by Anonymousreply 45June 30, 2020 7:32 AM

If the Republicans nominate someone sane, then Biden is screwed.

by Anonymousreply 46June 30, 2020 7:35 AM

R45 - maybe and maybe not, but yes - Kaine was no help. As gag-inducing as that queen Pence is, he solidified the evangelical base for Dump. Kaine brought absolutely nothing to Hillary's ticket. I always had the impression that she wanted Warren at the time - but knew that 2 women running would be a no-go for too many voters. What a strange world we live in.

by Anonymousreply 47June 30, 2020 7:41 AM

Trump wasn't running on an abysmal record in 2016.

Joe is soaring in the polls as trump shoots from foot to foot.

I would not be surprised if Trump is impeached BEFORE the election and removed BEFORE Biden's inauguration.

I don't think Trump will quit. People are speculating he will quit and be pardoned by the now President Pence before the election so he won't end up in jail, but I just think Trump is too stupid and too narcissistic to even think of that as an option.

That’s why Democrats have to run against not just Trump but Pence as well.

by Anonymousreply 55June 30, 2020 11:19 AM

I think a far more likely scenario is for Trump to bow out of the race, but not the presidency. He will complete his term. He will be replaced on the ballot by Ivanka as an October surprise. It will be a win/win. She has the Trump name and the Republicans can claim the first woman president. She will run on continuing the Trump legacy. It will appeal to the MAGA crowd and moderate Republicans.

by Anonymousreply 56June 30, 2020 11:23 AM

Not even remotely true.

by Anonymousreply 61June 30, 2020 12:09 PM

The interesting challenge is to imagine just what this would look like. The Trump coalition is not the Republican coalition. Rust Belt and Midwestern Trump supporters are not a slam dunk for Romney. Would Nikki Haley be able to rally anti-immigrant America Firsters? Would Cruz be able to resist the opportunity to whine his way to the nomination?

None of this works out quickly. Rushed campaigns tend to make mistakes and fail to bring contentious factions together, especially if there are multiple candidates.

by Anonymousreply 62June 30, 2020 12:38 PM

I don't trust the polls. There are many "closet" Trump voters who will lie to friends, family and pollsters.
