In this final dash of the presidential race, former Vice President Joe Biden holds a solid lead and his backers are working themselves to exhaustion. Yet Democrats still find that they can’t sleep at night.

Their nightmare of 2016 — front-runner Hillary Clinton's stunning upset by Donald Trump — keeps jolting them awake.

Good.

If they want to get back to sleep, they should just listen to one of Joe’s speeches.

At this time four years ago, Hillary's numbers started collapsing. No such thing happening with Biden.

This time 4 years ago, women weren't escaping the Rapepublican party like a ripped open jugular

I'm guessing the LGBTQ community and their supporters won't be fooled again either.

Yes.

It was all Doom,Gloom and Disaster.

So will be the next four years...

Biden's lead? Why Democrats worry they could blow it

Advertising a big lead has a way of making the lazy voters stay lazy, while it fires up the opposition to get their asses in gear. The Democrats should be worried.

Really, though, I'd rather everything be kept quiet until the official election day.

As it should be. In an instance such as this, where the donald snuck by once and did so much harm to the country, the Dems can't take it for granted no matter how far in front Biden is. The bonus of course is beating donald so badly, slapping his dick in the dirt so fucking hard that even the most rabid of his supporters have to take notice.

With more disaster interviews like the one Cheeto gave tonight on 60 Minutes, the cushion between him and Biden just might be expanding. That shit was a royal mess.

I can just imagine how the right-wingers here would react if Biden were coasting on his lead.

Either way, I'm glad he's not doing that.

Everyone's thinking how much they want to bitch slap that Orange Turd with American democracy, but they're not saying it.

We know.

So much work to do... So many MAGGATS to exterminate.

And so rewarding. We're not sleeping. That's true.

Anyway, you ain't seen nuthin' yet. We have to get our money back.

Counter-intuitively this isn't true, studies of the effects of having a significant lead show that it actually benefits the person in the lead because it demoralizes the opposition into staying home since they believe they can't win.

Yes, and also the side that's ahead smells blood in the water and makes a point of getting out to vote. Which is doubly true this year thanks to the Republicans openly trying to suppress their votes.

Democrats worry for good reason. Hillary lost to a conman with 40 years of public experience at lying, cheating, and grifting. Democrats can fuck up a sure thing faster than anyone!
