A lot of people seem to be putting their money on the two war horses, Bernie and Biden, but with such an interesting and progressive field, surely we can move on to a fresher candidate!
Joe Biden is a man utterly incapable of fighting Republicans. Truly a man behind the times.
He’s neither my first, second or third choice in normal times, and he’s going to get roasted for a bunch of shit like Anita Hill, but if he can absolutely beat the Mango Mussolini, then I’m in.
He could do the most for the country by not running himself, but by throwing his full support behind one of the younger candidates. That would allow him to capitalize on his “strong bond both with blue-collar white voters and African Americans,” encouraging them to get out there and vote for the candidate of his choice, without his own age or past baggage becoming the issue.
He’s running. Just don’t announce it on April 1st.
America, don’t get into that car with Joe. You know it’ll run out of gas before he’ll get to his destination:
If nothing else, Joe will show the Dem candidates how to talk with blue collar folks and white males. I wouldn’t think he’d have to run to get his voice heard on those topics, but maybe so. If he does throw his hat in the race, he’ll mean it, but the past baggage is a heavy lift and I have doubts he’d win the nomination. Still, he has a lot to offer and I think best case scenario is he galvanizes that demographic to get behind the primary winner who hopefully will be one of the ladies. JMHO.
It is still early. At this stage, such things are mostly a matter of name recognition. (Of course, having an established presence can be a serious advantage overall, but it sometimes also comes with established downsides.)
A Biden presidency would be a second-to-worse-case scenario. (Anything is better than a Trump re-election.) Biden’s “both sides” politics are painfully wack.
In other words, this week will be the beginning of the end of Biden 2020. But, of course, the guy who campaigned for an actual Republican’t in the last election is “Real” Democrat, so all the ageist crap that gets flung at the “Fake” Democrat will get set aside rather quickly…
Wasn’t that the biggest knock against Sanders in 2016 by Clinton supporters? Are we looking at coining a new phrase here? How about Joe Bros? (Not to be confused with The Jonas Brothers, who had the name first, I think…)
Oh Joe, I wish you just wouldn’t…
Not looking forward to it. He will suck up a lot of oxygen with our mediocre Press though.
As I understand it, Biden has given a lot of paid speeches since the Obama Administration ended. If so, he will need to be completely up front about who he spoke to, what he said and how much he was paid. He should release all transcripts immediately. This issue damaged Hillary Clinton immensely in 2016.
The ego flies backwards … I remember doing the Time Warp.
How about pairing up the two Democratic candidates the Republicans fear the most? Biden/Beto/2020 for the win?
Yes, but Bernie and Joe are two completely different people. Joe has far more experience than Bernie on so many levels and for all his faults, is more likable across the board, but that’s just my take, certainly not gospel. I’d much rather listen to Joe speak than Bernie as far as tone, substance, issues, style, et all, but others may not agree and that’s fine.
How about we finally realize that when a Republican’t says anything he is probably lying (such as “I fear Joe Biden the most”)? How about we finally learn the lesson that Republican’ts fear NOBODY? How about we start choosing candidates based on the premise that they support the issues that we support? (I know, radical concept.) We could nominate the rotting, reanimated corpse of Ronald Reagan and Republican’ts would smear him as a Dirty Godless Communist…
Say it ain’t so, Joe. Say it ain’t so.
