Joseph R. Biden Jr. swept into Benton Harbor, Mich., three weeks before the November elections, in the midst of his quest to reclaim the Midwest for Democrats. He took the stage at Lake Michigan College as Representative Fred Upton, a long-serving Republican from the area, faced the toughest race of his career.
But Mr. Biden was not there to denounce Mr. Upton. Instead, he was collecting $200,000 from the Economic Club of Southwestern Michigan to address a Republican-leaning audience, according to a speaking contract obtained by The New York Times and interviews with organizers. The group, a business-minded civic organization, is supported in part by an Upton family foundation.
Mr. Biden stunned Democrats and elated Republicans by praising Mr. Upton while the lawmaker looked on from the audience. Alluding to Mr. Upton’s support for a landmark medical-research law, Mr. Biden called him a champion in the fight against cancer — and “one of the finest guys I’ve ever worked with.”

i'm neither democrat or republican:
but right now there isn't any candidate from any party (not even my own) who can beat our current president.
he's in for four more years.
The polls say otherwise right now. Read my above about it.
Registered voters by a significant margin now say they are more likely to vote for the "Republican Party's candidate for president" than for President Barack Obama in the 2012 election, 47% to 39%. Preferences had been fairly evenly divided this year in this test of Obama's re-election prospects.

Forgive me for laughing.
You're about as partisan as it gets, yet you have the moxie to complain about others being partisan?
That's funny enough to give this Tim Conway routine a run for its money...

The way I see it, trump will easily beat creepy joe.
Things could change of course.
It will take a recession or a war to oust Trump.

2020 Simplified
Trump wins
Biden Loses
Sorry about your bad luck Willtell. MAGA and again.
That’s your desire.
It’s a shame some people can’t stop the partisan programming even for a second and think objectively for a second or even a minute

The presidential election of 2020 is a very simple and clear contest.
Only 4 states will determine the winner. Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Ohio.
If any Democrat can win 3 of these( 46 electoral votes=Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin) they are the winner. One slight nuance is that they also have to carry as the last Democrat Hillary did--Virginia.
The race is that simple. Trump can ONLY win by repeating winning those 4 states, or maybe just 3 of them.
Therefore, its clear Joe Biden has an advantage since he will likely win Pennsylvania as a favorite son of that state. The Democrats would be stupid to not go for Biden… All the other Democrats IF they can’t win three of those states will likely lose.
Indeed, the whole race revolves around the swing states: Virginia, Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania. In the Obama era, he easily won these states and I think also Iowa, therefore, won in two landslides. Hillary lost in 2016 ONLY because she lost the traditionally democratic states of Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania (46 electoral votes) And she lost many states, Obama, easily won.
Just add those 3 states elector votes of 46 and Hillary would have had 273 electoral votes and would have won.
So actually, the candidates just have to go to these 4 states and campaign there mostly, they don’t have to run all around the country
On election night just watch those 4 states and you will be able to determine the winner.
The MSM will not tell you this simply because they want to make a big deal out of something that’s very simple just to get ratings.
