      I get why Biden would poll well early. What I don’t get is why backers would line up to bet on him. The campaign is such a grind and he really struggles.https://twitter.com/mtracey/status/1157123706495340545 …

      I actually agree with this. The reasons for Biden’s high levels of support are extremely obvious. Almost too obvious, to the point that pundits sometimes seem determined to invent all kinds of weird extraneous narratives to avoid acknowledging the obvious https://twitter.com/natesilver538/status/1157024320671092736 …

      He's losing his marbles to an extent but I don't think a plurality of Democrats particularly care. They prioritize his staunch defense of Obama over 100% perfect lucidity. And it's not like the incumbent president is the most lucid guy in the world!

          Yes, it's pretty clear. Dems love Obama and no one in the party will point out Obama was terrible.

          Trump also still regularly attacks Obama and began his political ascent spreading a conspiracy theory about Obama, so it makes sense that a large segment of Dems would view Biden as a means of achieving revenge/validation for Obama.

          And that’s what led the GOP down their path...they canonized Reagan and just kept pushing his legacy through policy on a national level until it was all far right morality with economics that favor the rich.

          Trump’s ... odd but Biden is at a whole different level of losing his marbles. The Republicans loved having a nutter in the chair last time they had the Presidency.

          He is when a foe is right in front of him, and Joe has seemingly lost the same affinity. Not sure how this works out for Joe.

          It's more than a marbles thing. He got into the Senate decades ago as a young man and once you're in you just coast through all subsequent elections. He crapped out early in his two POTUS runs. No stamina or inclination to see it through.
