wow. Joy Reid is saying Biden did fine

[drray23]

And his support amongst the African American community will remain strong.
Its surprising given how critical she has been of Biden in her past broadcasts.

1. Maybe she started hearing from those older black voters

the vast majority of whom support Biden.

[thesquanderer]

22. Or maybe she just honestly thought Biden was better than he's been.

That was my own take. I thought he was pretty bad last time (and same in the forum I saw where Joy Reid was actually questioning him), but he was better this time. "Fine" is a reasonable description, I'd say.

2. I haven't followed her,

but am somewhat surprised to hear this; may watch a rerun.

13. I switched channels as soon as she started speaking.

Robot Chicken is on.

4. She said this was because he was sentient and defended his record.

Talk about a low bar...

5. I'm glad she's being objective because she really has not been when it comes to Joe.nt

8. Yada yada yada

Inslee will not move the needle

10. I think Booker won the night

11. She must have seen and heard something substantial as she is not supportive of Biden

Thx Joy!!

And indeed Biden numbers continue to be very good among AA voters. A voting block that will have to be in place for the dem candidate to win as was shown in the 2016 election where AA voters stayed home in droves!!

21. Joe only had to be 5% better than last time to stay on top.

[redstateblues]

7. She obviously heard that her Biden bashing was not playing well

I don’t trust her.

[ecstatic]

9. That is surprising. Maybe someone has confronted her?

I caught some of her show last weekend and she was ripping into Biden really hard (and unfairly), saying he expects a coronation, yada yada. It was a bunch of attacks based on stuff she couldn't possibly know (since it requires mind reading). I'm guessing someone at the top saw it and finally said enough is enough.

[Thekaspervote]

12. Maybe, or maybe she started looking and and listening to AA voters via the polls

[ecstatic]

16. She knows the polls. Her view has been that black voters are

scared of trump winning and have flocked to Biden because he's a white guy who can win. There's a tiny kernel of truth to that, but it's not the entire story. She has refused to allow for the possibility that some of us actually like Biden, and that's what has made her analysis so annoying and offensive. I'm so glad that someone talked to her about this. Maybe it's not too late to save her show.

[FakeNoose]

14. She probably realized that Joe could well be the Dem nominee

... then how would she look next year with all her anti-Biden talk? Joy Reid is a smart woman and she's been around the block a few times. And yes, maybe the NBC bosses told her to back off. The hosts cannot be picking favorites, nor can they campaign for/against any candidates while they're on the air.

[treestar]

17. That is amazing

That's almost like Orange Himmler saying he did so. I watched Joy Reid one night last week and was convinced she could not stand Biden.

[Cha]

19. Shocking!

[rockfordfile]

20. They all did good. I give Biden a little edge in last nights debate.
