And Biden - who has won elections for the past 40+ years - really understands this.

Which is why he is frustrated.

We have to be honest. Things really aren't looking good.

Let's not fool ourselves. Trump has a large, dedicated base willing to vote for him.

If turnout is high, his chances of winning are low. But with a low turnout, his chances are high.

A potential Biden voter staying home, because of low motivation to go stand in a line for hours - that's the Republican winning ticket.

Which is why the conflict in Israel and stalemate in Ukraine are good for Trump, it de-energizes the Democrat base.
