    I think it is true. Most loyal Biden Dems are now resigning themselves to Trump winning. They’d rather Trump win than to have a different nominee.

      I really don’t get it. Biden has done the most good in one term as president than any president of my lifetime. Im one of the ones who like him.

      “Sure, every single other attempt at replacing the nominee resulted in massive loss, but this time will be different!”

        I mean there is a conversation to be had that it would be different. The debate performance would normally shift votes, but didn’t. The assassination attempt would normally shift votes “hugely” but it hasn’t shown. I think people knew who they were going to vote for before we knew the nominees. No new information was going to change that.

        I would just argue that with everything being “unprecedented” we shouldn’t rely solely on old election data. Trump won in 2016 because he ran a different campaign, yet Democrats still seem to want to run old style campaigns.
