You've missed the point that K is actually a Trump supporter. With Sanders gone, he is going full pro Trump with being anti Biden.

Three more double digit beatings. Three more states where support falls well short of 2016. Can't get out and physically campaign without putting lives at risk. Time to call it a wrap senator, for everyone's benefit except Trump's.

The fact that state primaries exist and are staggered, giving the candidates enough time to visit each of the states and rally support for 20 hours a day, is crucial to the integrity of the system and helps insure that only the most high-functioning psychopaths get elected.

Has K actually supported Trump? I thought his criticism is he doesn't think Biden can win.

It looks ever more likely that you will have Biden as the democratic nominee. But very much to Trumps benefit. Far more likely Trump wins the general and even if Biden pulls off an upset nothing will change. No universal healthcare, no living wage for people on minimum, no end to the endless wars. You will have won nothing. Well done, enjoy.

Is this really your hot take right now? You can't see any of what's going on being the downfall of Trump?

There is a part of me that thinks this crisis is tailor-made for Trump’s message. I want to be careful in saying that his handling of the situation, that’s not what I’m looking at when I say this.
Immigration control, domestic manufacturing, trade friction with China... these are things that Trump championed as a candidate in 2016. What’s happened now? A virus that started in China that hampers America’s economy and threatens the public health.
Ideal handling of the issue would, in my superficial analysis, result in a landslide re-election. I’d not call the handling ideal so my prediction as of now is: toss-up.

Completely agree. That's why he's been getting a lot of flak for being racist as he continues to call this a 'Chinese flu'.
I think though that outside of his core supporters, he has turned off any moderates/undecided voters.
But, the election is still a ways off so who knows.

I like your post because even if we don’t necessarily agree, we can still have a civil and friendly discussion! 
When it is clear that Biden will be the nominee, which it is now, to dis Biden is to support Trump. It is no different than when I go after Trump, I am supporting the Democratic nominee. And as he has said himself, his goal is to be entertained by the discord in US politics. He has been feeding that discord all along with his posts.

To vote for Trump is to support Trump. To diss Biden is to diss Biden. People can vote third party, write in Bernie or someone else or vote a blank in protest. All are democratically viable and honourable options. You are calling far more people than Kyriakos Trump supporters without any justification to do so but the make belief reality you and Timmy made up for yourself in your political fantasy land treehouse.

LOL...yet another "Sanders would be the better candidate because I say so" claim. There are absolutely no reasons behind this other than it being what you want to believe.
Bottom line; Trump is extremely vulnerable. The bumper stickers campaigning for "any responsible adult" are most likely accurate. Sanders would be the likely winner in November if he could have gotten nominated. Buttigieg would be the most likely winner in November if he had gotten nominated. Other than that US citizenship requirement YOU would be the most likely winner in November if you could have gotten nominated.
So the end result is dependent on who gets nominated through the primary process, and that is looking overwhelmingly like it will be Joe Biden. Sanders has far less support this year than he had in 2016, and everyone else with any significant support has already withdrawn.

Funny, I think I might have said that to you back in the "presumptive nominee Sanders is clearly the winner" days.

Yup, all those things rounded up all the Sanders voters and shot them, then bussed in hordes of zombies to vote for Biden. Corvid-19? More like DNCPox-19 amirite?

That’s not what anyone said. Why are you straw manning with ridiculous fantasies?
There are plenty of good reasons to not vote either Trump or Biden if you support progressive policy. The number one is to be breaking the cycle of being taken for granted. Unless progressive supporters put their foot down, they will rightfully be taken for granted again and again as they have been for years and that is not a strong position to be in. This won’t stop. The establishment have no sympathy for dissidents. They will keep taking advantage until you make them stop. What power does a Bernie supporter have on them? The vote – that’s it. To demand they cast it for someone who cares nothing for them is a form of social pressure black mail. BJ should know better and stop doing that.
