Biden should win easily. Since trump is very solidly far right Biden can position himself as a left leaning centrist which is going to be much more appealing to moderates and independents. It won't hurt the turnout from the far left either because they despise Trump so much they'll vote for whoever the democratic nominee is. That's what Biden will have going for him that Hillary didn't. Many left leaning people didn't go out and vote for Hillary because they didn't even consider trump getting elected a possibility. That mistake won't be made again.

I think if Mike Pence ran, he would beat both Trump and Biden.

He's a nice guy, so bleeding heart liberals wouldn't have anything against him either. And Republicunts would appreciate his conservative family values.

And he doesn't have that shady, molester vibe like Biden, he's a respectable family man.

Nah, it's "favourite" because it sounds more British, so more colonial and oppressive and that's good.

No. As much as liberals harp on trump if we take away his personality and just objectively look at his two years of presidency he hasn't been the worst president ever by a long shot. It hesitate to even say he's terrible. Mike pence on the other hand would be. He's very conservative on social issues which is a huge red flag to everyone who isn't far right. Id take trump as president over pence in a heart beat and so would just about everyone else.

Really makes you think what kind of times we are living if the concept of traditional family is seen as a red flag for extremism...

Yes thats exactly what I said. Anyone with a traditional family is a right wing extremist. If you had a quarter of the knowledge you pretend to have you would already know that Mike Pence is crazy and would have no chance of winning but no lets act like a dumbass instead.

How is being very conservative on social issues a red flag for everyone who isn't far right? Does being socially conservative indicate someone might be far right? Is being socially conservative a sign of abnormality now?

Because this is what your own arguments are implying, you bioluminescent descendant of African apes.

Because conservative on social issues equals anti abortion, anti gay marriage, pro conversion therapy,anti science etc. I'm sorry I should have clarified that I can see how it could be confusing and socially conservative probably wasn't the most accurate terminology.

Abortion is still highly regulated or even banned in some European countries too. It was mostly banned in Ireland until December last year, when they had a referendum. It's still illegal in Malta. It's highly regulated in Poland, where abortions are only allowed in some cases (foetus is a threat to mother's life, pregnancy is the result of rape, foetus is malformed, etc). Looking at this table (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abortion_ ... ional_laws) it seems most countries do not allow abortions performed as an ordinary medical service.
Gay marriage is not allowed in probably most countries on the planet. There's like only a handful of them which allow it.
Conversion therapy is not even banned in the USA, let alone the rest of the world.
Anti-science stance is typical of many religious communities.

So, I dunno, it seems that many of these issues supported by Pence are the status quo in most countries on the planet. I mean, it doesn't seem like these are typical far right or extremist attitudes, if so many countries, including European ones, support them.
Maybe Pence is not electable, I've no idea, but I've yet to see evidence that the issues he supports wouldn't have a majority of supporters in the USA too.

People still seem to be under the impression that the world can only go in one direction: more and more progressivism. It can go in any direction.

Being against transgender rights is anti-science now? Transgenderism is the epitome of anti-science and society will collapse under this degeneracy. Trump 2020!

I hope he runs. Would be a slaughter for R's across the board. He couldn't even have won his re-elect for governor in a solid red state.
