I've made my decision, and, it's BIDEN!

[MoonRiver]

I like Amy and Pete equally well, but believe Joe has the best chance of besting the Idiot.

GO JOE!!

[redstatebluegirl]

1. Good choice.

I agree with you, I love Amy and Pete but I think Joe has the best chance to run the orange menace out of the White House.

[MoonRiver]

4. That awesome endorsement this morning by Clyburn didn't hurt him either!

[TwistedTinkerbelle]

30. Today my husband and I will vote early in the Texas primary.

And Biden it is. I like Amy and Pete, but the Biden can beat Trump and pull those swing states along.

[guillaumeb]

2. A good choice.

Not my first choice, but Biden is everything Trump is not.

[katmondoo]

6. Not my first either but I like Joe.

[joost5]

21. +1

Biden's a decent human. Trump is not.

[calimary]

35. I just saw a graphic on CNN that shows a LOT of people out there agree with you.

about Biden. He’s a strong second choice.

And it appears he’s tremendously like able as a person, as a human being. Across the board.

3. K&R, Biden has best swing state numbers against Trump !!!

[MoonRiver]

5. Yes!

[MaryMagdaline]

7. Welcome aboard!

[MoonRiver]

9. Thanks MM!

I've been going in this direction for awhile, but still little doubts would enter in. Now I can focus on getting my candidate into the White House, again!

[Peacetrain]

8. Awesome!!!!

GO GO GO JOE

[MoonRiver]

10. Oh yeah!

[still_one]

11. Bravo

[MoonRiver]

15. It was the song my mother loved me to play on my flute during high school.

She's been gone 12 years, but the memories are still with me.

Anyway, I think she and my father would have picked Biden too. They were very practical, down to earth Democrats. Both WWII veterans, so they knew what totalitarianism is all about.

[still_one]

19. That is a wonderful story. Thanks

[walkingman]

12. Not my favorite but a good guy!

[lamp_shade]

13. I went to Joe a few days ago.

I hated like hell to leave Pete, but I had to be realistic.

[MoonRiver]

16. I totally agree. Just love Pete. I hope he gets a position in Biden's administration.

[Sloumeau]

27. I agree. Pete is just too talented to remain at the mayor level. :) nt

[Rorey]

14. My reservation about Joe Biden

I have reservations about someone of his age taking on the strenuous job of being President, but at this point I feel it's a binary choice. I'm going with the true Democrat.

[redstatebluegirl]

34. I feel certain he will choose a young vp candidate.

Joe cares so much about the country he would not leave anything to chance. Plus we need to groom the next generation of Presidential candidates.

[Rorey]

36. I'm also confident in his choice of VP

[LaMouffette]

17. Great choice, and mine, too!

A Biden versus Trump contest will literally be a battle of Good versus Evil. On the one hand, there's Joe Biden, a lifelong public servant, humble, with an abundance of empathy (which he gained, sadly, through the loss of his first wife and young daughter in a car accident and his son, Beau, from brain cancer), and two sweet German Shepherds (had to add that! German Shepherds rock!). On the other hand, there's Trump, a lifelong con artist, boastful with nothing to be boastful about beyond being able to defraud a lot of people out of a lot of money, who is empathetic MINUS the "em," and who hates dogs and quite possibly all of his kids with the exception of Ivanka-be-just-like-my-dad-and-make-shit-tons-of-money-illegally.

The contrast between them when they're standing side by side on the debate stage will be stark and extremely unflattering to Donald Trump.

[MoonRiver]

18. Well said and welcome to DU!

[yaesu]

20. Biden does a good job giving tRump hell. nt

33. So are some of Bernie's statements and theories that have recently come to light.

Very interesting indeed.

[Anaxamander]

22. Awesome. I hear he's running for senate.

Good luck with that!

[HarlanPepper]

32. Classy.

[TruckFump]

23. Hi, welcome aboard!

Go, Joe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ProudMNDemocrat]

24. I know and Trust Amy Klobuchar...

But Joe has been my #1 choice. His tenure with Barack Obama a d his service in the US Senate has prepared him well.

Age is not an issue here. Joe is passionate, empathetic, sincere in what he stands for. Dignity, principles, values are key attributes I look for. They all have them, which is why Democrats have such a deep Bench.

I do wish Bernie was a member of the Democratic Party for me to be fully behind him.

[Sloumeau]

25. MoonRiver, thank you for joining Team Joe Biden! :)

This is good news for Joe Biden!



Amy and Pete are both great. Both of them are highly intelligent and extremely hard working. Both of them know the importance of not veering too far to the right so that we Democrats can pick up some independents and disaffected Republican votes. They are both young enough that they can get another crack at the Presidency down the road. If anyone knows that it may take more than one try, it is Joe Biden!

Thanks again. Let's made Trump into just a bad memory!

[Pachamama]

26. Woohoo!!!!!

Good choice!!!

[keepthemhonestO]

28. me too

I always loved Joe, but was keeping Amy in the mix, would even vote Bloomberg.

[33taw]

29. I'll support whoever is nominated. But, I am thinking I will start supporting Biden.

I kind of like that Joe stumbles a little when he talks, he’s just a normal guy who cares about others.

[Baked Potato]

31. I would feel comfortable and proud to vote for Joe,

I really hope he can get some momentum going. Amy is my first choice, but as we see she is struggling to gain a broad appeal.

[Demsrule86]

37. Great choice...welcome aboard.

[PatSeg]

38. That's wonderful!

This has been a great day, the best I've felt in quite some time. It may not last, but I'm enjoying it while I can.

[Smackdown2019]

39. To defeat tyranny

We must elect Biden!

Biden may have a little issues in speaking in quick articulations, but conveying his actions and getting the job done is what this country needs and he is the ONLY candidate that can bring the monster down!

[Joinfortmill]

40. Me too

[Green Line]

41. Great choice

Joe's been my pick since he announced.

[samir.g]

42. Me too

[friend of m and j]

43. I was overjowed when I read this post and every reply this afternoon. But then

started looking at it a little closer at the members who were posting and it made me wonder if we didn't have someone trolling us. when I looked at there were 42 responses that were all good. The first 39 or so were mostly members who were long time members of DU and had posted anywhere from around 2000 posts up to 67,000 posts in the past. The last 12 or 13 were from newbies who had posted anywhere from 23 to 1200. their posts on this thread were all in a time frame from 10:30AM to about 1;PM.

It may all just be coincidence and I don't know why anyone would be tolling favorable replies.
But it did make me wonder.
