In national polling, former vice president Joe Biden is the clear 2020 front-runner. He's up nearly 5 points in the RealClearPolitics polling average; he's up in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Florida and Arizona. That's because Biden campaigned as the anti-Bernie Sanders: a "return to normalcy" candidate rather than a transformational one. His entire pitch relied on his high name recognition, the general perception of his likability and his unthreatening demeanor.
The coronavirus pandemic merely underscored this pitch. Biden hasn't waned in the national polling since the pandemic -- his lead has been utterly consistent. That's true even though Biden has been relegated to his basement, gaffing through completely anodyne statements about COVID-19,

Trump has a higher approval rating than either Obama or Bush at this point in their first term. Yet RCP tells us Biden leads? I'll have to throw the fake news flag on this one.

Given the level of cheating the rats have been working on for four years, we'll have to act like he's 50 points behind and work accordingly.

In national polling, former vice president Joe Biden is the clear 2020 front-runner. I hear this every day and I'm almost as sick of hearing it as I am about hearing another velvety-toned, sugar-coated coronavirus scare commercial. Usually, I expect to hear this garbage from Juan "To Me" Williams. Who exactly ARE these people 'they' are allegedly polling nationally? Only Commucrats?

Waste of time NeverTrump screed desperately trying to make the case for Biden and against Trump. Too bad. Shapiro used to have a sharp mind. It's funny to see NeverTrump trying to give advice to a ever more Leftist dem party that has no more use for them than Republicans do.

The article is rather self-serving. President Trump certainly doesn't need advice from Ben Shapiro on how to win an election. Shapiro's generalities are worthless fodder. In case he missed it, this coming election will be won on the Trump team's mastery of the factual details and not on generalized sound bites. The fact that academics have trouble thinking because they cannot handle the complexity of factual realities is exposed in Shapiro's article.

I totally agree #2. Rats cheat incessantly. Even if Trump were ahead, the DemonRats have plans to win no matter what. We have to be ready and willing to fight hard and be ever vigilant.
Btw, I don't understand all the negative attacks on Ben. I didn't think he was a NeverTrumper. He doesn't seem that way on the radio. Did I miss something?

Calling Biden the ‘clear front runner’ based on Democrat polls is actually humorous. At first I thought he was being sarcastic. Whatever. The Democrats have had themselves on full display during this pandemic. Their own voters have been subjected to the treatment they think everyone else should get. Biden’s policies are not going to get support from the American people. Neither would Sanders’. Voting for at least 4 more years to keep them out of our lives.

I absolutely refuse to believe anyone with a normal IQ could vote for him, no matter how much you hate Trump. He is mentally deficient. Period. No ifs, ands or buts, and still the democrats wheel him out to give speeches and such. Cue Twilight Zone music.

Biden is not yet the chosen dem candidate. People talk as if he were, but not until he is officially chosen. Then will be the time to bring out the old pervert's habits of sniffing hair and hands on young girls.
As far as those polls go, I know of no one that has been asked their opinion and don't expect to ever find one.

Oh dear! Looks like paycheck conservative Ben Shapiro is now hiding the most prominent evidence of his stupidity behind a paywall. He used to claim his March, 2016, Never Trump article at the link above was an essential declaration of his conservative principles. Now he wants to charge admission. I guess it really is all about the Benjamins with Ben.
Nevertheless, Shapiro's article is well-remembered in these parts. He said he would never vote for Trump. Ever. He said Hillary was less dangerous. He said Trump would lose, betray, and destroy conservatism in no specific order. He implied that voting for Trump was tantamount to racism.
In short, Ben Shapiro managed to pack more pompous, self-aggrandizing errors into less space than any other Never Trumper. You can still find most of the article's content at the Breibart link below. Best of all, Ben won't make a dime.
Which brings me to my more general question: Why is Ben still in business? Shapiro makes his living by claiming to be conservative. But why would I pay anyone to be this persistently, stupidly, and insultingly wrong?
I wouldn't. I don't click, read, or remunerate a Never Trumper in any way I can avoid. In 2016, they were the enemy inside our gates, and some continue to serve our enemies (e.g. see Shapiro on Andrew Yang below). I want them all fired. I want them all unread out of the conservative movement. No more Never Trumpers.

Pollsters can achieve any results they like simply by choosing the sample. We would see Andy Cuomo or that Whitmer Witch as the front runner if that was what they wanted us to see. The validity of polls was forever crushed when Hillary bit the dust.

The democrats and their rectal inhabitants (media) believed the polls in 2016. It will be wonderful to watch their unbelieving faces in November!

When you watch a video montage of Biden from his basement retreat you think, "oh my this man is not all there mentally".
You tie that in with his sniffing hair attack on women and children and think his supporters must be stupid and delusional.
'Leading in the polls' what polls at this point President Trump might be able to flip California. If Hillary Clinton couldn't win with the stars aligned in the sky, the FBI supporting her, tons of money flowing in and voter fraud this chump, Joe stink fingers, certainly has an uphill battle in front of him. The lefts secret weapon if Biden continues if his VP pick and that's it.

Don't believe any pols until November 3rd.
Is it me or is Breitbart swinging to the Left lately? All I see are headlines from the most rabid lefties. Who wants to read them? Does Breitbart want to lose their viewership like Drudge?

There is absolutely no comparison between the abilities of the two men. If voters were comprised of honest people on the right side of the Bell Curve, the polling would be around 95 to 5 in Donald Trump's favor. I have no idea what people see in Joe Biden except for that "D" behind his name, which clearly should stand for "Dunce." Half of this country is either mentally ill, drunk, on drugs or they have no idea that there is an election coming up. We laugh at Liberals, who sometimes can sound coherent or act like they are mostly human and dress like it but that blank look in their eyes when they start preaching their learned philosophy tells the story. It's like human cloning began decades ago and Adam Schiff was used as the base model.

It's all about holding the House now .... and maybe taking the Senate. Either one --- or Heaven forbid BOTH --- will tie Trump in knots from January 2021 to January 2023, at a minimum.

This is all part of the grand plan - Biden is shown to to way ahead of Trump (he's not) just like Hillary was right up to Election Day. Trump wins and the dems claim election cheating and fraud this giving then legitimate reasons to conduct investigations one right after another for the next four years. Unless pubbies win the house and hold the senate, then we'll see wholesale retirements from the out of power rats (I hope).

These screeds are depressing. Back on election night in 2016 I didn't watch any news until around 2 am because I was told the The Beast would win by a large margin. Hope PT can replicate Harry Truman by holding up the NY Slimes with a wrong headline of Quid Pro Joe defeats Orange Man. Any logical mind would pick PT. But hate trumps logic and I have seen a hate campaign like this.

Joe Biden?
The clear front runner?
Among who?
His family?
Ben is taking acid again.
Seeing colored shiny objects.
Must have been sampling malig-Nancy’s ice cream..
Just as screwy as she is...
Why is this a must read?
For the humor?

I turned on election results in 2016 around 8 pm because I saw a few major states running close to even with PDT slowly creeping up. As he began to win a few of those states and the talking heads on the news looked like they were panicking and beginning to cry, I could not turn it off. When Hillary's mouthpiece announced that she went to bed and there would be no results announced until the next morning, I jumped up and gave a whoop around 2 am. Best night I had in eight years.

#8 #13. If your views are based on 2016, your judgment's out of date. Shapiro didn't vote for either HRC or Trump in 2016. He's a California resident, so it made no difference anyway. Since then his views on Trump has changed for the better. His daily podcast is worth listening to, but he talks too fast. (Slow it down if you can.) He's has great coverage on the Coronavirus as well as politics. My left-wing brother hates him. That's all you need to know.
