    I think he might select someone with a background in education for the head of that area. And he might not put people in positions who will personally see financial gains from their decisions. Just a guess, mind you...

    He's already said he'll select a woman regardless if they're the best person for the job.

    A "transitional Candidate" is one that Trump is going to stomp the crap out of in Nov.

    Biden struggled to remember who briefs him every morning.​

    You know, I get briefed by "the guy!"

    “Um, and uh, and I’m not, and I, I have a, I have a uh, like all of you but every day I get between an hour and an hour and a half brief with um, uh, the former head of, our former surgeon general, anyway, with docs across the country,” said Biden.

    “Presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden’s lead over President Donald Trump now stands at five points, but Trump has an edge in the critical battleground states that could decide the electoral college, according to a new CNN poll conducted by SSRS.​

    “Could”? Uh, does. The popular vote across the country doesn’t matter. What decides election is the Electoral College vote.

    “In the new poll, 51% of registered voters nationwide back Biden, while 46% say they prefer Trump, while in the battlegrounds, 52% favor Trump and 45% Biden,” said the piece.
    The Battleground States where The Trumpster holds a SEVEN point lead?

    So what were the battleground states in the CNN poll? Florida, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, Georgia, Arizona, Colorado, Maine, Minnesota, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico and North Carolina.

    :roflol: At that Map.

    Even the most charitable maps (Extremely biased toward Trump):

    Have it as Biden 248/Trump 204/Tossup 86.

    And that Map (with Biden at 248.) is Extremely favorable to Trump.

    That map you posted may be one of the Funniest things that I have ever seen posted at PF.

    Thanks for the chuckles.:salute:

    It means Biden is prepared to resign or lapse into full coma, whichever happens 1st, and the VP kook selected ascends to power and the USA becomes Chi Com America

    Well, I do not think that this is quite accurate.

    Larry Sabato--who leans center-left--in his Crystal Ball, has it as 248 electoral votes for the Democrats; 233 for the Republicans; and 57 as tossups. (That is of April 20, 2020. Sabato may have a more recent projection; but, if so, I am unaware of it.)

    Here is the pertinent link: http://centerforpolitics.org/crystalball/articles/rating-changes-electoral-college-and-senate/

    If I had to guess right now, I would guess that Biden will more than likely win--although it is not easy to unseat a sitting president. But President Trump's perceived handling of the coronavirus crisis may well be the deciding factor here.
