> [@Little\_Nemo](#): > > The evidence is pointing towards a strong Biden win. If the election were held today Biden would beat Trump 372 to 166. But ya know, the election is NOT being held today. We still have a campaign ahead, and Biden is going to destroy himself. Maybe I should start a new thread called “let’s predict how Biden will lose”. But this thread has already listed most of the reasons. Once Biden comes out of his basement, he won’t just make a few “gaffes”–he’ll make dozens of terrible, terrible, cringe-inducing sound bites that will go viral. Example: I can imagine him referring to people of color as “the colored people”. And worse than a just making a few “gaffes”, he will show his senility too often. If he makes several hundred public appearances, and in two of them he has a “senior moment”, he will lose a LOT of credibility. Example: I can imagine him facing an interviewer, starting to answer the question, but then rambling off topic, and then saying “sorry…what was the question again?”. Yes, Trump may do the same thing–making not just gaffes, but full-blown obscenities, and not just “senior moments” but full-blown loss of faculties. But Trump is immune to criticism. Biden is not. Democrats need to stop their overconfident bluster, and start worrying. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/how-big-will-bidens-margin-of-victory-be/916671)._
