I think he's spot on.

I especially agree with his last

"and it's going to come down to who do we dislike less,"

I dont see President Trump getting any more likable, so that is why I think President Biden would win a matchup with President Trump.

Yes. But that's been the history of US presidential elections for a long time.

I know, it's early. Polls show Trump beating Biden. But, those are general polls, not considering battleground states. Remember, it's all about the electoral votes, not popular votes.

I agree that Trump could not possibly be more likable.

Well, from a strictly grammatical standpoint, you're right.

At least he didn't say 'lickable'

Bushwa.

I've read from reputable sources that millions and millions of jobs have been created during this administration, that wages are higher, and the price of gas is down from its peak.

Enjoy.

1.5 years is a long time

And, with the short memories of people, things are trending President Biden way.

Inflation going down
Stock market going up
No recession
etc

You keep watching the numbers and I'll keep talking to people...

Pretty sure Louisiana will vote for Trump.

Electorally...Biden would likely win the key states needed to beat Trump again.

Indeed, a generational shift would be nice... one reason I like DeSantis, he is younger than I realized (44).
