act to sully Joe Biden. Dump did not want to run against Biden and he very well may get his wish.

You would think the person with the broadest appeal who is winning by the largest margin in the swing states would be reason enough for him to 'catch on'.....but I guess it's not.

I'm not sure beating dump is really priority #1 for a lot of people.

desperate to bury him soonest, we and he won’t go easy into that “poor ole Joe” box.

He does not stop being the best qualified, most experienced, most job-specific prepared candidate with widest appeal because MSM starts star-making anew and Silver decides two tiny white states alter the entire 55 state contest.

However, a few now basking in the glow of their youth, the fickle finger of MSM, or Silver’s hand
of God giving and taking away numbers, should try to enjoy their momentary place in the sun.

Won’t last forever.

Better candidates, unfortunately, have been cast rudely aside by the same as made them soar—on gossamer wings.

You go, Joe! The only one who can beat Trump like a drum and well Trump knows it.

My hair is not on fire yet but it is smoldering. Another thread was posted about how dump can win and folks are saying don't post that crap here. Hello it's a reality!!! Especially if we do not nominate the right candidate.

Why make this harder than we have to? Why nominate someone who is a harder to sell to these stupid swing states.

It's not about who you want exactly it's who do the swing states want?
