I presume you have a source for your assertion? From what I've seen, he's pretty much solely targeted Trump.

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

Agree emmaverybo May 2019 #24

Bernie has shown us the way forward... Biden just doesn't excite in the same way. InAbLuEsTaTe May 2019 #13

And that's why Bernie is running so far ahead? emmaverybo May 2019 #16

If you mean he's a front-runner as in revmclaren May 2019 #46

Yeah, everyone but Biden should drop out, now that he's entered the primary race and is ahead. InAbLuEsTaTe May 2019 #55

Not at all. revmclaren May 2019 #57

Good One!! emmaverybo May 2019 #21

It isn't attacking a Democrat to ask them to provide specifics and all the more so pnwmom May 2019 #51

I'm pretty sure that comment was about defending Sanders. R B Garr May 2019 #60

No, serving under Obama doesn't tell us anything about where Biden stands NOW. pnwmom May 2019 #64

Sure it tells you where he stands. He was Obama's VP R B Garr May 2019 #69

Why doesn't he have any policies on his website? He's not saying anything substantive pnwmom May 2019 #74

Probably because he doesn't have to at this stage. TwilightZone May 2019 #82

He's only a known quantity to those who think he'll be an Obama clone. pnwmom May 2019 #83

lol, why does he have to read his policies at his rallies?? R B Garr May 2019 #88

Other candidates are talking about healthcare and other issues. He should, too. pnwmom May 2019 #90

He did. Biden is for everyone having the choice to buy into Medicare, and also supports a still_one May 2019 #92

"talking about". So is Joe. No one reads their policies at R B Garr May 2019 #116

No... it's not attack only when Bernie is the Democratic candidate being vetted. InAbLuEsTaTe May 2019 #61

Warren, for one, doesn't say anything is free. She has proposals with specifics pnwmom May 2019 #23

Great! Warren has been campaigning for 3 years. nt R B Garr May 2019 #38

And Biden has been contemplating this for at least as long as she has. pnwmom May 2019 #39

Not according to Biden. His son died. R B Garr May 2019 #40

Not according to Biden -- what? He previously ran for President in 88 and 2008. pnwmom May 2019 #41

lol, what issues/policies from 1988 do you want him to draft now?? R B Garr May 2019 #48

Yes, you'd think so, given the history of those two primary election losses. InAbLuEsTaTe May 2019 #43

good for him JI7 May 2019 #18

It's better than having a plan that would be political suicide redstateblues May 2019 #29

I think he should endorse a public option, like the ones the Democrats have already introduced. pnwmom May 2019 #50

That is exactly what he said in his Pittsburg rally, and details would follow still_one May 2019 #93

He has endorsed a public option previously. Demsrule86 May 2019 #111

He is admitting that sound policy doesn't get done by Blue_true May 2019 #33

Or he could lay out specifics with plans on how to pay for them like Elizabeth Warren. pnwmom May 2019 #44

Good points. But Warren has been in it longer. Blue_true May 2019 #47

I think he's going to coast on his stump speech as long as he can. Demit May 2019 #49

One candidate has coasted on his stump speech for years. R B Garr May 2019 #89

If you are talking about Bernie Sanders, I agree. Demit May 2019 #103

Correct about Bernie. But Biden has been on the stump for R B Garr May 2019 #113

Biden has been prepping for president his whole adult life. Demit May 2019 #120
