(16,927 posts)but I will admit that I'm not seeing as many BunkerBoy for 2020 signs compared to 2016 - and that should have served as a clue.......

(2,749 posts)Those are the same people that said the same thing last time and then voted for Trump, as they knew all along that they would. They are just too chickenshit to admit it.
So really, its probably more like:
Dem party candidate 49%
Trump 44%
Way too close for comfort.
Not sure? What else is it you need to see in order to make up your mind?

(16,927 posts)the writer would fear being struck by lightening if he even wrote Biden's name. Again, I'm honestly shocked that they even printed those numbers - I would have expected some "computer error" to throw out the survey!

(22 posts)My husband and i drove out to a berry farm in the heart of the old Steel Valley in the Pittsburgh area yesterday, an area that was ferociously red in 16, and the sight of a Biden sign and the absence of any for the Idiot in the Oval tells me something; this area used to be solidly pro-labor and voted Democratic but of course thats changed. I think this might have been the first robin of spring.
