    In what world does the number of candidates have anything to do with hundred of millions of peoples independent votes.

    This is just bad stats

      In this world. He already won one election and came very close to winning the second back in 2020. Combine that with yet another weak-ass Dem candidate being the only other option and you have a recipe where it’s entirely possible for him to win again.

        You’re comparing apples to oranges here. The circumstances have changed since 2020 and to ignore 4 years of hearings, charges, additional threats (much less vague now) and libertarian distain for trump is significantly different from what it was when he ran in 2016, and when he had that momentum in 2020 (Covid year, don’t forget)

        Donald Trump is going to bite the curb this election and I’ll bet you a bunch of people still vote for RFK.

          Yeah this sounds a lot like pollsters claiming that Clinton had a 99% chance of winning in 2016.

          Biden seems to be going out of his way to alienate progressive voters and conservative voters will never vote for him. The ‘fence sitters’ who don’t pay attention to politics will simply see inflation and high prices and blame whomever is currently holding office due to all the conditioning and rhetoric they hear regarding it.

          Any election should see a guy like Trump defeated in a landslide, but that’s not the reality we live in and the guy running against him is doing such a poor job that Trump might actually win again.
