If there were a candidate who was going to demolish Trump, as you suggest, they should’ve easily demolished Biden for all the reasons others have mentioned about him being completely uninspiring.
- Klinky 6y agoThe same was said of Hillary when she "beat" Bernie. Same was said of Biden who barely squeaked out wins in key states. That said, I am not sure Bernie would have done better against Trump, and the electoral college needs to be retired.

Biden is winning those key states with more votes than Trump did in 2016, and the margins are going to continue to increase. This narrative is driven almost entirely by the fact several of these states are now allowed to count mail in votes until the start of election day or after polls closed on ED. Without that, the narrative would be talking about Biden's decisive victory in all these states.
- Klinky 6y agoTrump also got way more votes than he did in 2016, so that stat is kinda meaningless. Biden could have done better than 2016 Trump and still lost. GA and WI are probably going to end up with less than 1% difference between the two candidates, and PA might end up at 1 - 2%. Those aren't huge margins regardless of how they got counted.
