Joe Biden Dug Two Graves on Super Tuesday: One for Bernie Sanders, and One for Donald Trump

[QUOTE] Biden summoned high turnout from the diverse constituencies of African Americans, suburbanites, working class and older voters that Speaker Nancy Pelosi marshaled to retake the House in 2018.

Please get Bernie out of the way as well, best accomplished by seeing that he doesn't win another primary. Shouldn't be that difficult - he can't even mobilize his most fervent supporters to vote. Or maybe it's because he motivates voters to support his primary opponents. His share of the votes cast compared to 2016 has dropped - his sell-by date has passed.

And even if he could and by some fluke of the universe he were to be elected, Sanders won't be able to convince the Republican majorities he'll have delivered to vote for a single proposal he suggests. Even if the House were to remain in Democratic hands, he wouldn't be able to convince members of his own party to vote for his agenda.

It's not over. The best thing anyone here can do is see that Joe Biden is the nominee and the next president. Consider the alternatives and get out and vote for Joe. If, as expected given the map, Biden wins the overwhelming number of delegates selected in the next two weeks, Bernie is dead in the water.

by Anonymousreply 22March 5, 2020 2:31 PM

I want to preface this by saying that I liked Hillary a lot and was really upset when she lost, But here's the deal, Hillary was polarizing even among moderate democrats. I don't know what it is about her, but she just rubs people the wrong way. Very few people are indifferent to her, she brings out strong opinions.

Biden, on the other hand, is a likeable guy. He is the quintessential let's have a beer kind of candidate. He has decades of retail politics under his belt and he is as comfortable at a dive diner in Scranton as he is at the swankiest and toniest of DC private clubs. He does't frighten moderates or republicans and he was a liberal long before being a liberal was cool. But he also has common sense.

Hillary was smart and qualified and would have made a great president, but a lot of people just didn't like her. I think Hillary had a rough on-boarding back in the 90s. I think she unintentionally insulted some people and they won't let it drop.

by Anonymousreply 23March 5, 2020 2:33 PM

It's interesting how Biden's campaign has gone from dead to unstoppable in the span of little more than a week. Just two weeks ago, pundits said he was the weak candidate who couldn't draw crowds, couldn't raise money, and couldn't inspire anyone. Now, they say he's boosting turnout and building a coalition. Biden has had a great week and has sounded much more coherent and passionate in the last few days. But he's a loose cannon, so you never know what to expect from him going forward. I think Biden will be the nominee and he can beat Trump (I think he would have destroyed Trump in 2016). But I could also see him fading and losing energy in the final months of the campaign. We'll all be holding our breath until November.

R51 One of the unfortunate side effects of the hacking and releases is the Democratic Party hasn't done a deep dive on just how arrogant the Clinton Campaign was. She didn't visit two swing states as the election approached. She held far fewer events then trump, especially the week prior to the election. Just like Bloomberg, Clinton couldn't hide how she thought the Presidency was already hers. The leaks didn't help, but there's no certainty she would have won otherwise.

R67, Likeable, moderate, well-known, popular in the suburbs and swing states where this election will be won.

This is an election about security--people want something who can re-establish governmental and social norms. Biden knows everybody and how the executive branch is supposed to work and the core values of our foreign policy.

As for Trump--he hasn't gotten above a 50 percent approval rating since his second week in office. He's historically unpopular. With the coronavirus doing a number on the economy (and demonstrating the lethal effects of Trump's eviscerating the federal government), Trump loses his one ace--a good economy.

The silliest of the trolls in this thread talks about Trump making mincemeat of Biden. Biden has a stutter and compensating for that stutter means he makes gaffes. Trump, on the other hand, is decompensating badly and doesn't make sense much of the time.

R69.. actually had a "conversation" with a MORON trump supporter... he works at a grocery store and i chat him up and others that work there just to be a nice person... anyway, he always wants to talk about politics and LITERALLY spews fox/faux news "talking points"... i actually feel kind of sorry for him since i don't think he is "all the way there" in the mind. ANYWAY, the first thing he says to me yesterday was "so what's going on with the democrats, their all dropping like flies! now you've got sleepy joe and commie bernie left!".... uh, well yes, that is what happens i told him! candidates drop out when they have no chance to win delegates or the future nomination! DUH!....

for the next 10 minutes he spewed trump and fox news talking points 1) maybe cigarettes DON"T cause cancer (ala pence) 2) who are the ones saying that trump has lied over 16 thousand times? 3) hunter biden being investigated and his father fired the prosecutor because of it (never mind i explained the full complete story of it that debunked all he said).. and on and on he went. and had NOTHING to say about everything i said about what trump is..

anyway the conversation ended and this is kind of going back to what you were saying in your post... when i mentioned trump KNOWN lying number, he mentioned what about Biden and his "gaffes"... to which i replied you think KNOWINGLY AND WILLINGLY lying on purpose is the same as a mistake a gaffe on someone's part? their the same, their equal? NOT TO MENTION, even if they WERE the same (which of course their not!) you would be comparing a few biden gaffes to the thousands of outright lies that trump has spewed?...and his reply was that YES a lie and a gaffe are the same!!!!!!!!!!!!!

so to make a long story short (sorry i'm rambling here).. i just smiled and walked away and i've now made up my mind i CAN NOT TALK, CONVERSE, BE FRIENDLY to this person again.. i just can't!... the MONUMENTAL ignorance, stupidity and willful stubbornness to me is mind blowing. I know some will say that i'm wrong, that i can still be friendly or converse with someone who doesn't believe the same i do in regards to politics, but this is so mindblowing to me, that someone like this thinks like this, i just can't!.

In closing, not to be a jerk or a snob, but should anyone listen to someone with no education and who works all day stocking produce at a grocery store? i don't think so! he is THEE epitome of what trump said " i love the uneducated"!.

I've seen the old Biden in the last few weeks. I really wanted him to run int 2016, but IDK, for most of this cycle I've liked him least among the main candidates, excluding Bloomberg. Now, he's seems to be better, more of the Joe Biden from 2008 and 20012. I rewatched his debate with Ryan recently. He was great, he made Ryan seem inexperienced and nonsensical without coming across as condescending. It was this amazing "I'm proud of the boy's passion, but he's got some learning to do," vibe. I've started to see that again. Maybe he just struggles with 3+ candidate debates.

I’m not voting for Biden

by Anonymousreply 95March 7, 2020 1:23 AM

R95 Will you be abstaining? voting for Trump? considering write-in or third party candidates? Will you still vote for Democrat down-ballot candidate? Our electoral system is messed up, I won't tell you to vote for someone you don't feel deserves your vote. I do hope, though, that you still go and vote for other candidates in other races. Local politicians affect all of our daily lives much more than Washington does.

Are you a silly little person r95?

If anyone is going to start swatting away invisible flies and mumbling about how our precious bodily fluids are being tainted, it's Trump. This may be a coot-off, but in the end it's Trump who will wind up more cootish.

[QUOTE] Two things happened on Tuesday in Michigan. First, Democratic turnout exploded. Second, Biden performed far better with key demographic groups than Clinton did four years ago. If either one of those things happens in November, Trump will have a difficult time winning the state again. If both things happen, the president can kiss Michigan’s 16 electoral votes goodbye—and with them, more than likely, the electoral votes of Wisconsin and Pennsylvania.

Looks like I should’ve expanded the number of graves that Joe dug. He’s significantly lifted the chances of Dems retaking the senate since he became the de-facto nominee:

[QUOTE] Yet the furious resuscitation of Biden’s political fortunes has not only positioned his party more strongly against Trump in the general election, but suddenly scrambled the Senate map. Four Republicans up for reelection are now officially behind their challengers (or their most likely challengers) by four percentage points or more. And Biden’s numbers against an incumbent Trump show he is stronger than Hillary Clinton ever was in 2016 against the insurgent outsider most Americans expected would lose.

[QUOTE]More important than his wins against Sanders have been the underlying numbers behind Biden’s success this past week. In a majority of the primaries, he is winning a broad and deep coalition that threatens Republicans’ ability to hold the Senate and the White House. With black voters, suburban voters, white voters without a college degree, white voters with a college degree, union and non-union, Republicans and independents, Biden’s breadth of support is remarkable.

R2 got 12 votes for that. I only wish we could check WHERE they came from. 10 bucks says half were given to himself and the other half a mix of gab/incel trash and "foreign" trolls.

This is what people need to understand -and apologies if it was already mentioned since I didn't read through the thread- a lot of us think Biden is too old and a bit out there and there are issues with which I disagree with him, but I have not a shred of doubt that the people with whom he is surrounded, are beyond capable. I never had that confidence in the enabling, incompetent, racist demons Trump is surrounded by.

Don't think about the candidates, think about who has their ears. No one should feel safe having Pence, the Kushners and Miller in power. No one.

Moreover, r12, we now know the dangerous treason Trump is capable of.

As long as Biden surrounds himself with top notch people he will be fine. I would think Amy and Kamala are out as VP candidates. Democratic senators need to stay senators. He certainly will pick people qualified and not the likes of Pence.

Katie Porter for VP (Frankly, I'd prefer her over Biden)

by Anonymousreply 106March 14, 2020 3:30 PM

Me, too, r106!

She demands answers and doesn't suffer fools!

by Anonymousreply 107March 15, 2020 12:42 AM

R105 I could see him choosing Kamala, her Senate seat is a safely blue. It wouldn't surprise me if Biden chose a moderate running mate, but one that otherwise can be juxtaposed with him.

R101 and what are all these gab and uncle losers complaining about? Biden is an old white guy too. He’ll give them more stuff than Roly Poly Orange Drooly. It’s nit like he’s a “dreaded” black man like Obama or *shudder* a woman like their Satanic Killary.

Rumors come out occasionally about Trump replacing Kushner. Kushner knows everything, more than Barr, Pompeo or dirty Roger Stone.

What Kushner does in service to Trump is still a mystery, but highly illegal I suspect.

I love Quinn.

I'd pay money to see her beat the shit out of 'Susan from Glendale' aka Audrey Rose.

[QUOTE] Trump will beat Biden. Dems know this. He is the Bob Dole and John McCain of the Democrat party.
