The problem with Super Tuesday.

It is going to come down to Trump vs Biden; and Americans don't want either one as President.

What you're forgetting is that most members of one party NEVER want the opponent to be president. And as for the rest of those "polled", most of those don't vote.

If Democrats really didn't want Biden, they'd have supported a prominent Democrat to run against him.

And it's laughable to think that most Republicans don't want Donald Trump when they had many alternatives.

@beckyromero As Trump is now a shoo in for Republican nominee it does mean we should look more closely at the actual Republican process. And the truth is that Republican primaries this time had a seriously low turn out.. That doesnt bode well for a high turn out come November. And we need to take account of the severe shortage of cash the Republican party has and the fact that a Trump puppet will soon be taking official control of the party, polarizing it even further. Some may see the coming election as a chance to give the party an enema and create a "New Republican" movement more aligned with Cheney and Ryan after the disaster thats about to happen to the party. Certainly Americas economic and international stakes are not going to be shining over the next four years and a smart group might want to sit this dance out. Of course, that kind of thinking is way longer term than American politicians have exhibited since the Moon Landings..😷

You are saying something interesting here about the Trump situation, and it even has a touch of truth. What are the alternatives to Trump? Why do you say most Republicans don't want him? It may be true at some level among the political elites but he obviously has massive support from the people, the kind that followed Jesus from town to town.

Probably 90% of Democrats do not want Trump to be elected president. A majority of independents do not, either. And 30%-40% of Republicans would prefer someone else, too.

So that's how a majority of voters would prefer someone else than Trump.

Do any Republicans favor Biden? And then there are some Democrats who don't, either. So, this is how these "polls" come to a conclusion that is true for almost every general election.

@beckyromero This election will not be decided by the number of people who turn out to vote Biden/Democrat. It will be decided by the number of Republics who dont show up to vote....😷

There is a lot of hatred for Trump among Democrats. They'll get to the polls.

@beckyromero I agree. Where a significant number of Republicans are unmotivated..😷

You are quite right, in my opinion. The bottom line is which tortoise get to the finish line first despite election interference from Deep State against the Trump tortoise. You guys must let the reptiles run a fair race.
