Joe Biden is a terrible candidate.

He is 77 years old; he is incoherent; he has called a "lid" every other day of his campaign to avoid serious questioning. His running mate, Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., is so unpopular that she dropped out of the Democratic primaries before they even reached her home state. The Biden-Harris campaign is absolutely lackluster.

And according to national polling, Biden is leading incumbent President Donald Trump by up to 16 points. In the RealClearPolitics polling average, Trump is trailing Biden in every single swing state. Were the election held today, by the RealClearPolitics statistics, Biden would win 375 electoral votes, picking up states including North Carolina, Georgia, Virginia, Arizona, Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania.

How is this happening? How did a doddering fool, a career politician mostly famous for his incurable logorrhea, end up in the catbird seat one month before the 2020 election?

The answer is simple: Joe Biden understands the nature of this election. Donald Trump simply does not.

To understand this election does not require a graduate course in political science: If the election is a referendum on President Trump, he will lose; if the election is a referendum on Joe Biden, he will lose. Trump is personally unpopular by every poll metric, and he has been consistently unpopular for years, but he was still able to win in 2016 because Hillary Clinton was even less popular. The same could have held true here.

After all, Biden has opened himself wide to serious questioning. He has repeatedly refused to state whether he is in favor of ending the Senate filibuster, adding new states and packing the Supreme Court, calling such questions distractions; he has refused to condemn the antifa movement; he has soft-pedaled Black Lives Matter violence in America's major cities; he has put forward the most left-wing platform in American history, according to communist fellow traveler Bernie Sanders.

It's funny, Shapiro was a never Trump-er who hated Trump and the "Breitbart" wing of the party, but then came along when Trump became the most pro-Israel/Zionist president ever, plus the tax cuts for the wealthy. Shapiro jumped on the Trump train after that. But now he's quick to jump ship because he smells the BIG loss coming. Neocons/movement conservatives like Shapiro are dinosaurs. Shapiro's going to lose a lot of his audience, especially if Trump somehow comes back...
 
Wow, Trump's orangeness really stands out when he's pictured next to a person with regular white skin.

Anyway, yeah, risky move for the little guy. How much of an audience is there for the conservative who is anti-Trump anymore? Trump still has an 87% approval rating among Republicans.

Even if Trump loses his MAGA cult won't quite go away just yet. Trump will get a lot of miles out of conspiracies he concocts over the election results.

His main point about why Trump will lose is spot on. Shapiro is a grifter though. Moments of insight rolled into typical identity politics resentment.
 
I’m not sure how you got “Trump loses Ben Shapiro” out of that article....

Shapiro is pointing out things that he thinks Trump is doing wrong if he wants to win the election while emphasizing how utterly horrible of a candidate Biden is.

He's saying that Biden is such a horrible candidate that Trump being incapable of capitalizing on it is Trump's fault. The title is inaccurate, but Shapiro is correct in that Trump is being stupid. The problem is that Shapiro is just now realizing this.
 
Not looking good for Trump at all. Brace yourselves for 4-8 more years of mega-corruption, divisive politics, and the extreme left running wild all over again. This country desperately needs a reset button, imo.
 
Yeah that’s what I got out of the article also.
This thread title was just shenanigans.

I haven’t listened to a whole lot of Ben Shapiro but from what I can recall, his take on Trump was one of simply calling balls and strikes like he sees them. That he’ll criticize Trump when he fucks up, and praise him when he does good. His take here was that Biden is such shit that this should be a walk away KO, and he thinks Trump is blowing it.
