Just tragic, brother.

I'm not a fan of guns in the least, but this pandemic - and how crazy and unhinged many people are getting - makes me want to get my licence and start collecting.

The Democrats are doing their best to lose it.

They had (frank)ing 4 years to find a suitable candidate. 4 (frank)ing years... and this is who they go with? I'm with Joe Rogan here: Biden has dementia and he's rapidly deteriorating.

Tulsi would have been a slam dunk victory for the Dems as the Republican base seems to think she's pretty great. But hey, she doesn't absolutely toe the party line so (frank) her.

So, so very stupid.

I don't understand the love for geriatric politicians. I'm not entirely surprised that buttigieg didn't make it further, but I'm a little bit surprised.

I honestly don't think America is ready to elect a gay president.

And ffs, why does he have to have "butt" in his name?

It's like a cruel joke or something.

I can sorta see the appeal of Biden - let's all be honest, he's not going to do a damn thing that upsets the apple cart in any way.

It will be four years of not doing much, which is tremendously appealing to a lot of Americans right now.

My parents continue to be under a stringent stay at home order with penalty of a whole can of whoopass from me if they venture out into the public during busy hours.

Oh for sure. My mom and my in-laws as well. They'll get a DDT from me but only after I put a mask on.

Buttigieg would have been terrific. I'm thinking the DNC thinks America isn't ready for a gay President at this time. Not sure if I agree with that mentality, as any state that is largely LGBT intolerant is already Dem intolerant. So why not go with him?

Surely he would be a much better bet than Biden.

My 85 year old dad continues to ignore his sons' orders to stay home, despite my mother being severely immuno-compromised.

I will give the stubborn S.O.B. credit for one thing: for years, he refused to move my mom into a home.

You've missed so much. Let me help you catch up:

- a lot of stupid people have said a lot of stupid things.
- lots of talk of beer, food, actresses and female singers.
- Nylander still man-pretty.
- Leafs are going to lose to the Columbus Blue Jackets.

The 3rd point made by Wedgie is really important. Don't forget it... Ever

“I’m prepared to say that I have a record over 40 years, and that I’m going to beat Joe Biden” - Joe Biden. Its incredible

Yes Tulsi was a terrific candidate

In fairness Trump seems to have dementia as well. Why are all these candidates so old.

Buttigieg is a corporate shill. He was fine in a few white states early in the primaries but had nothing beyond that.

Biden too has worrisome corporate leanings but seems to have accepted that he needs to bring the progressive wing of the party with him to win. Bernie will campaign hard for Biden who will the black vote, women voters and hopefully young progressives. Trump isn’t likely to get far beyond his base.

Still, voter suppression and targeted social media are powerful advantages and it will come down to about 5 or 6 key states. Right now Biden is ahead in all of them. Nobody will repeat Hilary’s mistake of taking things for granted.

Biden can still make the odd boo boo however but I don’t think that will cause people to forget 4 years of Trump.

I was referring to the idea that he'd have a hard time turning conservative voters because he's gay

That’s certainly true. But his whole approach of let’s try to appeal to nice, moderate Republicans was doomed from the start.

Nahh... he doesn't have dementia, he's just demented. Subtle difference, but there you have it.
