Mar 2019

Sometimes too honest for a politician ,so sometimes his words will be a problem. He will explain them honestly. He doesn't talk phony like Trump.
I understand Joe.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

A Democratic politician at this stage of his career shouldn't have to "walk back" comments that are EffieBlack Mar 2019 #6

It was inappropriate. This is Biden at his core. He WANTS to see the better self in all. hlthe2b Mar 2019 #7

Exactly! You have to remember too that he knew Laura PourMeADrink Mar 2019 #30

Which includes a lot of voters EffieBlack Mar 2019 #40

Not Biden voters CrossingTheRubicon Mar 2019 #43

At this point, there aren't enough "Biden voters" to win bin the nomination and a general election EffieBlack Mar 2019 #44

I entirely disagree that there are not enough Biden voters. CrossingTheRubicon Mar 2019 #47

Joe certainly would start as the odds on favorite given his significant name recognition... InAbLuEsTaTe Mar 2019 #51

Too late ... by about 20-30 years. This has always been Joe's problem. He's too honest; KPN Mar 2019 #13

You can't compromise with crazy or ruthless people. Funtatlaguy Mar 2019 #63

Well, you can -- but it's self-defeating. I believe we as a whole have done that too many times in KPN Mar 2019 #67

There is a world of difference between "bashing" and "criticizing" jberryhill Mar 2019 #23

Talk about not understanding differences Bradshaw3 Mar 2019 #24

Okay, okay, you're right jberryhill Mar 2019 #46

Your analogy is a little bit over the top, no? still_one Mar 2019 #27

You're right, sorry jberryhill Mar 2019 #45
