Can Trump Still Win?
I thought that Trump was going to get in the white house early March, yet it hasn't happened yet. And Biden hasn't been arrested yet.
Why is this? Thoughts..

Absolutely. The biggest mistake Democrats can make right now is to underestimate Trump's influence over the Republican Party. He has essentially become bigger than the party at this point, and has tapped into a certain vein of the American people which he exploits totally. This uber patriotic, American-first, anti-woke, anti-media narrative which seems to ring with quite a lot of America.
The left need to get their ducks in a row and better appeal to the moderate voter. And don't wheel out Biden for a 2nd term (if he can even make it that long).

We're not talking centrists alone here.
Moderate democrats make up a majority of the democratic party, if polling is to be believed. We're talking about people who don't post on Twitter, who are likely to identify as moderate or conservative, who might take issue with political correctness etc.
The more vocal more extreme face of the democratic party found online don't actually represent the majority, and you risk pushing a certain type of person away from the party with the more extreme takes on the left.
Trump has many issues that make him unfit for President; but he undoubtedly has a certain draw which might make him appear a desirable candidate over a self-consuming overly-woke left. It's not a scenario we can rule out, hence the need to appeal to moderates.
