Former vice president Joe Biden denies that he’s attacking fellow Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg in the wake of a campaign ad released Saturday mocking the former South Bend mayor’s experience.
I’m really looking forward to having a nominee to rally behind. (I just hope we pick the right one.) The shit-talking about and between candidates eventually will become counter-productive, and even destructive. No matter who you support in the primaries, there’s a lot at stake in 2020. Let’s not blow it.
Good thing that we only sent our astronauts to New Mexico and not the moon.
Because there’s no way for someone to be successful at something if they haven’t done that exact thing before.
Biden may not like the word “attack” but it’s normal for candidates to draw sharper distinctions at this stage of a primary. He could have phrased it that way, instead of saying he didn’t attack Pete. Considering the contents of the ad his campaign put out about Pete, it just sounds dishonest and evasive. And made worse by the claim that Pete started it. C’mon Joe, this isn’t High School.
Something I’ve been wondering about, is how Biden will handle losing the primary. If he does, and I’m not suggesting it’s inevitable. As a “good Democrat” he would be expected to support whoever the nominee is, but I wonder if his heart will be in it.
So far, so good
He’ll be just fine. He never wanted to run, was drafted in specifically to draw fire from Trump and distract his folks while the real nominee slipped through relatively unscathed.
Hey Dems here’s a thought. Stop attacking each other. Your target is tRump! So do all the people that realize the moral imperative is to get rid of tRump a great service and JUST STOP!!!
"You’ve been saying the party has to unify to defeat Trump. Does that mean if Bernie Sanders does win the nomination, you’ll endorse him and campaign for him?” George Stephanopoulos asked Biden on “Good Morning America.”
Yes, whomever wins the nomination, I’m going to endorse,” the former vice president responded

Did too!
Did not!

Did so!
Did not!
Adult in the room: That’s enough, boys. Go to your rooms for a time out.
If we don’t elect a Democrat for president in 2020, I am probably gonna die before finding out if the country could ever be turned around. I have a favorite candidate that I will vote for, but I have lost interest in arguing about why my candidate might be better than your candidate. I didn’t even read about the last debate. I’ve become completely dispassionate about the candidates. I don’t really like any of the fighting between them, but I can’t care anymore about trying to get other people to see my favorite choice in the best light. That all seems so trivial compared to the task ahead of us.
ATTENTION DEM CANDIDATES!!
Trump is the enemy, not the other DEM Candidates. Don’t give the deplorable RWNJ’s any more ammo to use against whomever the Dem Candidate turns out to be.
We NEED to win!
Biden"s constant use of “C’mon, man” sounds like a 1970’s SNL punchline that was only repeated a couple of shows because it didn’t work the first or second time.
Who is the real nominee?
Of course he’ll endorse the nominee. That’s not what I was wondering about. It’s about the level of energy he’d put into it, after a failed 3rd run and some very clear policy differences with some of the others.
Not positive who the DNC has decided will be anointed. Bloomberg seems a good bet, but they may well be happy with Buttigieg, they’ll think he would be easy to control given his youth.
somewhat off topic
Here’s Jeff Jarrett doing that ‘Fargo strut’.
The same energy level as Bloomberg and the other guys. Everyone (including Vermont’s junior senator) knows what’s at stake and the ones who don’t are the usual suspects.
I remember. I remember that so well.
I don’t if I said this on regular forum or in private conversation, but at least four of Clinton’s first 5 contests were nothing to write home about.
Yeah I know and then suddenly it was all Bill Clinton like a juggernaut - they tried to stop him and couldn’t.
