Some new swing state polling. I'd be concerned if I were Biden.

Super Tuesday results starting to come in! Not a ton of surprises. Biden and Trump cleaning up. At least we could be rid of Dean Phillips after today:

First incumbent president to lose a presidential primary since 1980. Surprising.

Nikki Haley is going to bow out of the Presidential race after Super Tuesday. Question is, will she endorse Trump? I hope not.

Joe Biden appeals to Nikki Haley voters (which I think is a smart thing to do):

Like Mori says, this is so early and it doesn't really mean anything, but something to keep in mind and watch out for. This was on CNN during Super Tuesday coverage, I believe.

Which favors Trump. And I'm not talking about you specifically but all the others in your group.

It does…hopefully it sends a message to put out better candidates in the future

It sends me a message that Trump is our next President.

They were talking today saying this is the best US economy in history and everyone thinks it’s the worse economy. I can’t wait for Trump to be President and immediately tell everyone this is the best economy in US history and it’s all because of him. His base will immediately hack that up.

Who is "They"?

I did see that Biden was saying that wages are up, but inflation prices are up 18%(and I really think that's low in comparison to what I'm seeing at the grocery store) since he got in office. My own experience(and everyone else has their own, I recognize that) is that my own wages have not gone up 18% since he came into office, so I don't know how he can say that. If your wages have grown more than 18% over that time, I'm super happy for you.

Since Biden took office:

Real wages are down 2%

Gas is 42% higher

Grocery prices up 25%

Credit card debt increased by 47%


But hey, it's the BEST ECONOMY EVER!!!!!!

It doesn’t matter what the economy does. You are going to say it’s horrible as long as Trump isn’t in office. If Trump was in office he would be bragging about the best economy the world has ever seen and it’s all because of him. The stock market is at its highest ever and Trump already says it’s all because of him of course. Inflation has been a problem… for every single country on planet earth since the pandemic. It must be all Biden’s fault. By every metric I can find and by every news source I can find, the US has by far had the best recovery from Covid than any other country on planet earth. Presidents don’t set gas prices either. Gas prices were cheaper during the pandemic…when nobody was driving.

Biden’s economy is kicking ass compared to any other country and a lot of stats like unemployment hasn’t been this low for this long since the 60’s. Wages are up and mostly the lower to mid level wages. Biden has done well by me. My two best years ever working. Too old to be President but, his results have been great. Biden does great things. Trump just talks about how great he is.
