Biden but not as convincing as many people want.
For all the bluster and everything else he brings as part personality, part showman, part egomaniac Trump, obviously polarizing, he’s been elected 4 years ago because more people then the media would have you believe 4 years back, were sick of politicians and and the clandestine type society of privilege, the type that can elevate the wife of a former president the top candidate for a party as the best option.
Trump has shaken things up in general when it comes to politics and I think that’s a good thing. He won’t win this year simply because it’s not Clinton he’s against. I am somewhat surprised his campaigning, from the little I’ve seen, hasn’t focused on him once again being the “outsider”. It worked against Clinton for the distaste of her that many had for her as a candidate for the reasons mentioned above, that he was a better option.
The same message for Trump could work against Biden, though he is a bit more likeable in some regards then Clinton, is a life long politician and has more then a few politician skeletons over the years that were swept away in the above mentioned secret society that politicians, certainly back 20+ years ago, were able to hide behind.
Trump, backhandedly attempted this with the Biden family allegations, and trying to attack Biden in debates asking him why he made some laws and didnt act as swiftly under the Obama administration as he promises now, but it hasn’t been delivered the same way that got people to think about the Anti Clinton vote which helped Trump out in 2016.
That vote is still there in pockets of undecided people, but due to the other option this time not being Clinton, combined with tiresome Trump antics for 4 years which often go over the top, and some of the positive things his polices actually have done, get lost in the circus, that moderate voter who voted for Trump for those reasons, likely won’t vote for him in the same way 4 years on....but, that’s hardly an endorsement of Biden.
