If these trials are in the spring and he gets convicted over the summer, I’m not entirely sure he would still be able to the be the GOP nominee from prison. I mean, I guess he could, but I would think the party would want someone to run who’s actually behind bars.

Actually it’s the Biden people that are taking them most seriously. Why else would David Axelrod, James Carville, and CNN be begging the DNC to find someone who can beat Trump since they’re convinced Joe can’t do it.

Those aren't Biden people, nor do they have enough money to change anything.  Our donor class is content with a Biden v Trump rematch and content with either one winning.  So far.

I don’t usually take much stock in polls unless they are consistent and show a trend. The fact that most all of them are showing Trump ahead and in blue states is no doubt a concern for Biden, especially when you dig into the numbers more. 

The economy is killing him, with people saying they were better financially under Trump. To me, that’s the biggest red flag because the craziness factor of these two cancels each other out…and in the end, it’s going to come down to when we’re you better off, 2016-2020 or 2020 to 2024. That’s where Trump has a monster advantage. Incumbents can’t win elections when their numbers are so low on so many key issues.
