(1,055 posts)48. Debates and polls are completely non-predictive of ultimate presidential election results. Plain and simple. ZERO.
It is GOVERNING that matters and not debates and polls. Polls go up and down and full of variables and are not predictive value. I can give you many examples of where presidential candidates were up or down in the polls and outcome was in contrast to what the polls said. Debates have never mattered. It is GOVERNING RECORD that matters, and Biden's is damn good.

Here is one irrefutable fact, President Biden said he is not quitting this race. He is the decider so all this arguing

Biden is NOT getting out. He said it. End of story. We all need to support our nominee. Period.

All this non-stop nonsense about Biden is simply writing Fox news and GOP talking points for them.

Biden is the presumptive candidate, but not yet the general election candidate.
