Yep. Unless Trump failed to deliver on key promises that affect the wealth and sense of freedom of those who voted for him last time, one can understand such voters going for Trump again. In a nation where less than half the population have a passport, and don't think much beyond their family circle, it can be rather hard to get traction over issues rooted in the 'greater good'. Especially when the evidence that the greater good is best served by whatever policy is on offer is not transparent.
It really isn't worth worrying about at this stage. The election is so far off, there is so much to happen between now and then and the vast majority of the US are not engaged in the election yet. It's hard to believe, but there are so many people who aren't paying attention all of the time. As soon it starts getting closer and the debates take place, people will start to listen and they'll start to make a choice.
Exactly this. You understand!
As always, it will depend on who captures he swing voters and undecideds. Do you prefer the doddery old gentleman, who seems nice but appears forgetful and indecisive, or the bombastic loudmouth who says what you may want to hear but is only in it for himself?
I think that's totally wrong - true undecideds will vote Biden because Trump is a maniac. I don't believe undecideds will break for Trump like they did in 2016, in 2016 he was a comedy character and potentially a net positive for the country. And he was against Hillary Clinton, who was historically unpopular. The circumstances of that election allowed Trump to sneak a tiny Electoral College victory. Now, 8 years on, America has seen what a Trump term was like and it was catastrophic. He's not a potential net positive any more, he's a guaranteed net negative so there won't be any benefit of the doubt. The Biden administration has been very successful and providing the messaging is right, true undecideds will vote Biden and the abortion debate will probably help that case.
Keep an eye on Lichtman. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Keys_to_the_White_House
I can't imagine that there'd be that many undecideds in an election that involves Donald Trump.
You are right of course but there are enough undecideds to swing it.

'No such thing as bad publicity'.
It's astonishing how he does it isn't it.

My caveat was "key promises that affect the wealth and sense of freedom of those who voted for him". Their wealth won't have been affected by the wall, built or not. And their sense of freedom would derive from a sense that Trump was making them feel more free (if that's what he has claimed). He will also claim the wall has been built (a tiny bit has) or that its completion has been blocked by traitors (probably led by crooked Hillary). And his supporters will agree.
That's correct.
There are plenty of YouTube videos from eminent medical people who are saying whilst Biden's cognitive slowdown is due to old age, Trump's memory recall is far more alarming and symptomatic of dementia.
