There are increasingly fewer and fewer folks who are undecided (wholly unlike 2016).

Russia: if you're listening, you're 'effed! You are better off getting rid of that tin-pot midget dictator of yours who has pillaged your country for years rather than trolling to try to see if people don't understand your puppet Trump's ABYSMAL record. And, for avoidance of doubt, no thank you to your kind offer of tea, and I have no plans to go near an open window any time soon! Get rid of Putin, Russians, and your life will be MUCH happier and richer!

>>Either of those would be an endorsement that would leave scar!

No they won't. Not one Biden endorsement will sway one trump voter. Not. One.

Like every other brainwashed minion, they have to break their conditioning on their own.

Several every week, if not every day, until November. It appears to have already started. Every day I wake up and it is raining shoes.

The Bush family and Romney barely have any more sway among Trump supporters than the Clinton's do. They'll just be called RINO's, and be ignored by anyone who wasn't already voting against Trump

Mattis would be more influential than any career politician

I don't know if W or Jeb weighed in, but the senior Bushs' criticism didn't seem to help all that much. They were moderates compared to the cult who currently support Trump.
