3. sadly no woman would be the safest bet

because of rampant misogyny

Pete is brilliant but clearly the people love stupid (see Trump) and Pete's not a pussy grabber so also not the safest bet.

The hispanics, blacks, and asians are also not the safest bet because of racism.

So that leaves us with white men (surprising how that works out).

Get rid the socialist and the gun grabbers and Biden looks like the best of the remaining bunch.

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

It takes treason to beat a woman. MrsCoffee Jun 2019 #38

which is why the Dem Party must have a strategy built around the Electoral College. CTyankee Jun 2019 #64

Yeah, I kinda wondered at that too. cwydro Jun 2019 #50

As one of Klobuchar's constituents, I have to disagree. The Velveteen Ocelot Jun 2019 #4

I think when people say safe, they're referring to a return to something ecstatic Jun 2019 #6

A straignt, married black guy, safe? Not in this country. brush Jun 2019 #8

Yes. Pres Obama broke that ceiling and normalized the idea of a ecstatic Jun 2019 #9

I like Klobuchar much more than Biden but Biden comradebillyboy Jun 2019 #7

I think our extra crispy planet is issue #1. Karadeniz Jun 2019 #10

Yeah, the polls totally reflect that. BlueTsunami2018 Jun 2019 #11

The only poll I believe in is the one I fish with. mtnsnake Jun 2019 #21

I'd vote for Klobuchar in a heartbeat. But she won't make it. She'd be a great VP, though. Honeycombe8 Jun 2019 #12

She might not win it, although I think she would still be the safest bet to beat Trump, but mtnsnake Jun 2019 #19

Another hilarious and futile tutorial NYMinute Jun 2019 #13

Nope! Biden is the cure for this particular political fungus that has infested OUR Peacetrain Jun 2019 #14

If he wins it, which I doubt, I hope you're right that he's the cure, Peacetrain, mtnsnake Jun 2019 #20

Oh mtnsnake.. so much at stake.. Peacetrain Jun 2019 #25

She has no support...down around 1%. No thanks I will take Biden especially after I saw the polls Demsrule86 Jun 2019 #16

That doesn't mean she isn't the safest bet to beat Trump. It just means she isn't as popular as mtnsnake Jun 2019 #17

If she can't win a primary,she won't beat Trump. Demsrule86 Jun 2019 #18

haha, that is very true, but this race is still in its infancy. mtnsnake Jun 2019 #23

I don't think so. I believe thete is a good chance Biden will win so let's try not Demsrule86 Jun 2019 #56

I agree. Klobuchar will be the sleeper candidate, I predict. Politicub Jun 2019 #31

I like Amy Klobuchar very much. I've met and talked with her. MineralMan Jun 2019 #32

That is cool that you met her. However, don't your arguments against her hold truer for Biden than mtnsnake Jun 2019 #42

I agree. BlueWI Jun 2019 #33

Yes pattyloutwo Jun 2019 #35

Me too. marybourg Jun 2019 #52

I'm afraid your notion of "safe" is unsupportable FBaggins Jun 2019 #37

She's a much stronger candidate then her polling would indicate DrToast Jun 2019 #41

She really is mtnsnake Jun 2019 #49

There are no "safe" candidates, and imo this is a phony meme Hortensis Jun 2019 #46

I won't disagree with that one bit, but since "safe" seems to be the main concern of so many people, mtnsnake Jun 2019 #48

She is my second choice tiredtoo Jun 2019 #54
