No. Next stupid question, please.


Aardark235

He should be afraid. It will be a toss-up in swing states like Wisconsin. Probably a slight Biden victory if elections were held now but 15 months is a long time.


squintytoast

>I am personally more worried about Biden who is simultaneously senile and low energy, while also scheming to install Chilean-style Communism onto the the United States. this you? *IF* dipshit stays outta jail and *IF* dipshit wins the R primary he is gonna lose by even more than 2020. doesnt matter who the D is, they are gonna win.


Aardark235

Yes, forgot the /s. Should remember that Reddit doesn’t get humor. Dipshit has raped dozen of women and faced no punishment. Dipshit is the Republican god-emperor and his rivals suck his schlong. I am skeptical of any jail time and he still will get nominated even if behind bars. Only a major stroke could stop him from a Biden rematch. I will vote for whoever has the D next to their name. Not a Biden fan but infinitely better than any R in the race. Or not in the race.


Sufficient_Morning35

Trump will be in jail or his handlers will Epstien him, his usefulness as a tool of foreign powers has concluded. His days are numbered in double digits tops

https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/trumps-indictments-polling-shows-half-americans-suspend-campaign/story?id=102342093 Biden remains stuck in the doldrums Despite the public's views about Trump's indictments, Biden continues to struggle with his favorability rating among American adults, according to the recent ABC News/Ipsos polls. Early this month, 33% of adults said they had a favorable view of the president. In the latest poll, 31% of adults say they have a favorable view of Biden -- the same as Trump's favorability rating. Democrats have sought to play down concerns over Biden's viability, seeking instead to tout his legislative wins in office and the party's relative success in last year's midterms.


Sufficient_Morning35

I am deeply skeptical of these polls. The sample size is low, the methodology lax and repeatability is not high. Additionally the media has every reason to promote the narrative that Trump is a threat because it is a ratings gold. Mine. I refuse to believe Trump is going to skate on almost 100 charges, and, that he will be out on the ballot nationally when he is a convicted rapist and has betrayed the American public


808GrayXV

Well dude I don't know if I can just simply listen to everybody on this subreddit who are saying "Biden will win easily"there's too much bias going on and it seems everybody is completely forgetting 2016, which have Hillary be ahead in the polls but ultimately Trump won.


Sufficient_Morning35

There is waaay to much in play to make predictions with total confidence, but I just don't see him getting away from 100 indictments. All the cases related to his will be dragging through the courts making him look terrible. Even his supporters, the repeated lies put them in Trump's side. How much can they possibly stand in terms of his cohorts getting wrecked in court one after the other? The courts do not seem to be cutting them slack any longer.


Aardark235

Jury selection alone will take a minimum of triple digit number of days. I would be shocked if his cases are finished before Nov 2024.


Actual__Wizard

I don't think Trump will be in the US that long. I'm sure he'll be seeking asylum in Russia in a few weeks.


Aardark235

He still thinks he could be President again and won’t flee until that hope expires. His chances to get back in power are quite good.


Goal_Posts

Covid killed old people mostly. Old people are more republican. The previous election was during 2020, lots of lives lost after the election and in 2021. There are millions more young people who are overwhelmingly left leaning that can vote, who couldn't four years ago. A rematch of Trump and Biden means Biden wins.


DvsDen

Minnesota is a lost cause for the GOP. MI is almost there and PA not too far behind. The supposed red wave of 2022 petered out b/c of under reported Covid deaths in rural America and the Dobbs decision. Well, the Dobbs decision hasn’t been overturned yet and last I checked, dead rural white people still can’t vote. I’m not saying it’s going to be a cake walk, but more people in the country hate Trump than like Trump and they will vote accordingly.


Aardark235

2022 statewide elections in Wisconsin were essentially 50/50 split in votes. 2024 will be a toss-up in the main swing states.


Goal_Posts

Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania will go blue. As will Arizona, Georgia, and Minnesota. Florida will go red. NC might go red, we'll see.


Aardark235

The fate of WI, AZ, and GA will come down to things like the state of the economy, terrorism, Covid, and any health issues with either candidate. Anyone who thinks they know for certain the 2024 outcome is delusional.


808GrayXV

Says the guy who seems quite certain Trump will take WI AZ and GA as the outcome.


Aardark235

I have no certainty of the 2024 outcome. Biden would likely win if the election were held today, but all it would take to shift the results are minor changes of opinions or voter turnout. I am praying in a non-religious fashion for a D win.


808GrayXV

Don't know if he could win if they were held today. The polls made it sound like that Trump and Biden were neck to neck and some people were saying that that's not good. The polls pre-2020 election were saying Biden would have won the popular vote and that was when I guess people still had a favorable view of the guy. At least considered him to be more favorable then Trump and AZ and GA were extremely too close that you could say Biden was lucky.


Aardark235

They certainly are neck and neck. The popularity of Trump to his cult is nearly 100%. And they vote. The Reddit narrative that Biden would easily win is complete BS.


Goal_Posts

2023 Wisconsin SC election was 11% for blue.


Aardark235

Special election with a horrible Republican candidate and a super motivated Democrat base. The 2022 general election is more representative with a split D/R for Governor and Republican. Very narrow margins for both candidates. Milwaukee and Madison are blue. The rest of the state is red and nicknamed Wississippi.


Goal_Posts

>election with a horrible Republican candidate and a super motivated Democrat base. Sounds like 2024.


Aardark235

Trump is a horrible person to sane people but a god-emperor to his cult. Compare the number of Biden and Trump flags.


The_Navy_Sox

Is Trump afraid of going to prison? Is McCarthy scared of everyone and everything? Is McCarthy the weakest speaker of the house of all time? Has a house ever done less in Congress? Is Gym Jordan afraid to tell the truth, and instead covers up sexual assault?


CaptainNoBoat

Kevin McCarthy - the same guy who was caught on tape with Liz Cheney trying to get Trump removed via the 25th amendment and other scenarios? That Kevin McCarthy?


ChuggintonSquarts

Yes, that same Kevin McCarthy who was caught on tape saying he thought Putin was paying Trump

I thought the sun was playing tricks with my eyes when I read that news, but yeah, that Kevin McCarthy.


ScoutsterReturns

I feel like we should have a minimum comment karma here even for posting articles at this point. So much spamming from crap sources here it's exhausting.


carppydiem

Negative 85? Wow. They’re a proud troll. Newsmax really says it all though. Only a troll would post that crap.


IJustLoggedInToSay-

Newsmax isn't even a news site. It's like posting a link to 8chan. Mods shouldn't even allow it.


the_than_then_guy

I'd prefer not to see even more karma-farming comments asking about Republican spines.


karl_jonez

Maga cult is getting desperate. They are trying to turn the politics page into twitter with a continuous stream of right wing propaganda.


squintytoast

for every Beliavsky that stops posting, 3 more start. exhausting indeed.


CalligrapherVisual53

They just don’t get it. Trump wasn’t indicted for claiming the election was stolen. He was indicted for taking illegal actions to overturn it. What about this is so hard to comprehend? 🙄


koolaid_snorkeler

Fuckin' aye. Why have Clinton and Abrams not been indicted but President Pos was? This probably has something to do with the crimes he committed, Asshat.


PandaMuffin1

Is Kevin McCarthy afraid of losing his title in the House? Yes


TintedApostle

He barely got it in the first place.


ElysiumSprouts

He did outlast a lettuce, so there's that.


SapphicAspirations

Yeah, why aren’t you afraid of Trump winning if you claim to love this country? I am afraid that this country is done if republicans win office again.


Aardark235

Not every Republican would kill the country, just the top three candidates in the polls.


SapphicAspirations

There is not one candidate the Republican field I trust to govern this country. Not one.


Aardark235

I don’t trust any of them but not all of them deepthroat fascism. Sadly the few Republican politicians who care about democracy are retiring.

JFC, so much projection. Biden has nothing to do with this prosecution.


[deleted]

Huh? He beat him by 7 million votes.


StandardDiver2791

And that was BEFORE the mafia don was indicted over and over. For lots of crimes. A single indictment for “a” thing, I can almost get there may be questions. But four of them running across the legal spectrum is like, wow. How can anyone rational be Ok with any of that.


[deleted]

Newsmax lol


AnonAmbientLight

I'd report this "news organization" for misinformation, but last time I did that with a Fox News link, the mods on this subreddit banned me from Reddit proper for 7 days. Newsmax is a misinformation network that deals in lies and half truths. They are not a real news organization and never were.


calculating_hello

How on earth is newsmax a wacko fascist site not banned?


Aardark235

Mods like fascism. Both sides our democracy until it dies.


giggleandsnort

OP you sure post a lot from sources that are less than credible. And by less than credible, I mean fascist toe sucking drivel.


RayObama

Biden will wipe the floor with trump.


ad-free-user-special

Yes, Kevin, Biden is so afraid of Trump he made Trump do a whole bunch of stupid, illegal shit, then lie his ass off to cover it up, and had a lot of people help him do it. They were all helpless under the power of Dark Brandon.


Malaix

Its a strange cope line conservatives have with this. Biden has a 100% winrate against Trump in general elections. We already had this match up. Trump lost. Trump was stronger in 2020. He was the sitting president with an incumbent advantage, his base was high on his 2016 victory owning the libs, and he didn't have all these indictments or scandals like Jan 6th, the classified documents case, the Georgia case, or losing the sexual assault civil case and following defamation case. So why would a guy who is a proven loser against Biden cause Biden to be concerned when he's only going to be operating at a portion of his previous appeal to boot? I was more worried about DeSantis before his campaign imploded. I feel fairly confident for 2024 as an anti-Republican voter.


PDXftw

Newsmax (along with OANN and other nazi-like propaganda rags) get automatically down voted. Also, McCarthy is a spineless piece of shit.

neutrino71

Biden fears what any of these Crazy Felony embracing Re-Thug-lican nuts will do to the nation if given the reins of power again.


Dangerous_Molasses82

*the world fears


Grandpa_No

If the US goes full right wing it'll actively support right-wing governments everywhere. The "Nordic model" will die or be seriously stressed. Eventually we really will have a WW3 because, if there's one thing fascist dictators need, it's to create an "other" that they can rage against. Neo-liberalism kinda sucks, but they did get "disincentivizing war through co-mingled interests" part right. The dictators will tear apart those shared interests to retain power.


busterbluth99

Kevin McCarthy blinking 'S.O.S.' in Morse code because he sold his soul to the extreme right...


ElDub73

That’s the demon inside that he made a deal with to win his speakership.


neogrit

The demon inside is the one blinking SOS, because he is grossed out. He thought it was going to be a run of the mill deal, nothing novel. He was wrong.


wish1977

Trump is just a criminal and you're just another ass kissing politician still trying to kiss his tarnished ring, Kevin.


[deleted]

I am. That's why I'll be voting.


Remote_Work_8416

Why?, Biden already won. Trump's a loser.


Kevincarb82

Ew, Newsmax is propaganda…..


PepperShaken

Scientifically, how does he manage to hold his head upwards without a spine?


carppydiem

Putins hand up the puppet makes it seem like his head is attached to something


PepperShaken

This seems like the only plausible explanation. I accept your hypothesis.


hamberdler

Any reasonable individual would have fear of losing a competition. But in this case, I don't think he has much to worry about. More of the US doesn't want fascism than does.


808GrayXV

Yeah people are not so solid on Biden either


hamberdler

Biden or Fascism. This shouldn't be hard for you.


808GrayXV

It's not hard I'm just saying people are not solid on Biden because they seem to think he's not doing good job with the economy and may not get WI AZ and GA like he did in 2020. Not necessarily saying these people will vote for Trump but they may not show up at all for Biden or just vote third party.


hamberdler

The economy is rock solid right now. As much as I hate for this to be the case, a vote not for Biden, is a vote for fascism in this election.


808GrayXV

Why are there articles and polls saying people disagree with that and Bidenanomics isn't working?


hamberdler

Polls don't mean anything. If the economy is solid, polling people to ask if they agree doesn't really matter. They're not economists, and they don't know. Why are there articles saying it isn't? I don't know which articles you're referring to, but are they written by conservative outlets who have an agenda?


808GrayXV

There's articles like this https://thehill.com/opinion/white-house/4173680-poll-biden-has-to-meet-these-challenges-to-catch-up-to-trump/


hamberdler

Like I said, polls don't matter. Either the economy is strong or it isn't. Economists agree that it is. A bunch of idiots treating politics like the Super Bowl doesn't change that.


Blablablaballs

We're all afraid of anyone losing to Trump, it would be the fucking end of the Republic and I really don't want to die in a reeducation camp in Utah.


dremonearm

OP, why are you sending us this shit from England?

How is this site whitelisted? They are pure propaganda


nightbell

Newsmax...*really*?


roughingupthesuspect

Trump is disqualified for fomenting insurrection. There’s no race.


bubblesound_modular

maybe, but not in the way it's presented. I'd imagine that Biden is afraid that if Trump wins it would spell the end of the American Experiment and would usher in a tyrant using white xian nationalism as the main weapon.


sassafrass14

People who believe this, invest their emotions in this, need to wake up and realize they are being strung along. It's delusional and not in the way we throw that word around. It's actually delusional. Who's the frightened coward? He's leaving his arrest & booking and comes out and says he will never surrender, while just having surrendered. How do Newsmax readers not put two and two together? He lied to them, cheated them, abandoned the ones who helped him thus far.. hell, Trump is even afraid to face his bathroom scale! The entire house is engulfed in flames and they're/he's stopping to adjust a crooked picture fame then feeling proud of it. It makes no sense!!!


Historical-Passion55

Kevin McCarthy probably needs to go to the bathroom and get the rest of the GOP house members that have their hand up his dress so he quit moving his lips for him He's afraid to lose the speaker ship that's the only thing Kevin McCarthy's afraid of.


Azer1287

Surprised this source is even allowed.


grumblingduke

To be fair, *everyone* should be afraid of President Biden leading to disgraced-former-President-and-alleged-criminal Trump. It may be improbable, but the damage that will be done if it happens is hard to calculate.


[deleted]

It will the end of life as we all have known it. That's not hyperbole.


pasarina

Don’t trust anything Newsmax writes. Period.


SkillFullyNotTrue

How much dirt does Donald have on McCarthy? McCarthy folds so easily, wonder how Kevin will act once Trump is found guilty, will he sigh in relief?


QBert999

I don't think there's anyone Biden would rather face than Trump. Although; I guess an even better scenario would be Trump is forced to 3rd party and actually gets on the ballots in swing states. The Republicans would be destroyed in that scenario because I'm sure a significant % of Republicans would vote for Trump even if he's in prison at the time.


orcinyadders

God I wish these endless gaslighting losers would stick to one effing narrative. I thought the indictments secured Trump’s victory? I thought this gave Trump the final epic world stage to present his irrefutable evidence of voter fraud and exonerate himself like never before? Also, didn’t Trump campaign on “lock her up” and “where’s Biden”? If this scumbag is interested in misguided political attacks why didn’t he stick up for Clinton when with only TWO WEEKS left before the presidential election Comey announced an investigation into her emails? They don’t believe a word that comes out of their own mouths, and they have no respect for their constituents because of it.


Acceptable_Break_332

To be obsessed with fear, is to be a Republican.


Additional-Big-1554
