"That's a big fucking deal in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin.."

And his strength is drawn from two contrasting bases: older, moderate whites, and African-Americans. Although his share is in the 30s overall, he has a whopping 50 percent share among nonwhite Democrats, according to the latest CNN poll. A Morning Consult poll found him with 43 percent of the black vote, including 47 percent support among African-American women. Biden’s deep association with Obama gives him a lift in the black vote no other white candidate can achieve. And so it turns out that the base of the Democrats has not been swept into the identity cult of the elite, wealthy, white left.

It's so early but..!

He’s also been able to reach non-college-educated white men in ways few other candidates could. That’s a big fucking deal in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin — and if Biden can carry those states, he’ll be the next president

Gracias, highplainsdem!

It would have been so much

better if there weren't those who Lied, and encouraged voters to vote for Liars.. and if those who sat home to teach lessons to Dems, who weren't pure enough(AHC).. were actually able to visualize a bigger picture.

Apparently he doesn't care..

The media makes sure it's plastered all over the place for everyone to see.

He started right after the GE in 2016.. on cnn.. calling our Democratic Party "elite", and how he was "humiliated", making it all about himself.. When more than 1/2 the country was hurting badly.

And, here We are.. still Not "elite"..

Biden calls them his "colleagues"

Remember when BS called the other candidates his "opponents"?

Bernie Sanders Politely Asks Supporters Not to Harass His Opponents

Biden defended himself during a trip to Iowa Tuesday but declined to swing back at Sanders.

"We got plenty of time to respond. I’m not going to get in a debate with my colleagues here,” he said. “I’m proud of my record.”

Sanders should worry less about catching Biden right now and more on falling behind Warren

That's President Obama and Vice President Joe Biden's "legacy".

We'll see what happens.. I read somewhere that Biden declined to respond to Sanders..

Oh here it is..

The giant forward steps we have taken in recent years on civil liberties and civil rights and human rights are being met by a ferocious pushback from the oldest and darkest forces in America. Are we really surprised they rose up? Are we really surprised they lashed back? Did we really think they would be extinguished with a whimper rather than a fight?
