Yep. Some think it's inevevatable that Biden will be the nominee, or we NEED and old heterosexual white man to beat Trump. They want him treated with kid gloves, and just handed the nomination.

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

Please. Go away. democratisphere Jul 2019 #1

She isn't going anywhere. MrsCoffee Jul 2019 #4

I, too, would like to see her fade. Polly Hennessey Jul 2019 #27

Agreed. democratisphere Jul 2019 #37

Yes, it's just eye-rollingly absurd to posit that Biden R B Garr Jul 2019 #55

He tells a very nostalgic tale. tonedevil Jul 2019 #69

Laughable. People aren't stupid. That's not even close to what R B Garr Jul 2019 #72

I can't find a complete unadulterated transcript... tonedevil Jul 2019 #77

That is laughable to distort his comments about civility R B Garr Jul 2019 #78

Are you saying that Eastland... tonedevil Jul 2019 #80

Kamala should put her pro-busing position in her platform. R B Garr Jul 2019 #91

It is you mischaracterizing... tonedevil Jul 2019 #93

Didn't take long for the personal attacks since you can't R B Garr Jul 2019 #95

OK /nt tonedevil Jul 2019 #100

Beloved? Spin. Ed Kennedy, though opposed to his views, did become friends with Eastland, emmaverybo Jul 2019 #81

I grovel in apology if I misunderstood. And I delete my comment. emmaverybo Jul 2019 #110

That is true...she will remain a Senator. Demsrule86 Jul 2019 #51

Joe Biden the Uniter? How so? Autumn Jul 2019 #18

HERE so! democratisphere Jul 2019 #23

Yeah, he's ahead in the polls. Now about this Biden the Uniter stuff. Got links? nt Autumn Jul 2019 #25

In that link. He united more supporters behind him than any other candidate has been able to muster. George II Jul 2019 #33

No that's a poll. Not much of a rescue there George. You got an extra, you have a nice day. nt Autumn Jul 2019 #38

A poll is an indication of the number (%) of people UNITED behind each candidate. More.... George II Jul 2019 #42

Please don't let facts get in the way of a good smear. George II Jul 2019 #32

I don't. democratisphere Jul 2019 #35

How not? George II Jul 2019 #31

Got an example George? nt Autumn Jul 2019 #34

More potential voters have united behind Biden than any other candidate. George II Jul 2019 #36

Primary happens first, just a reminder. Agschmid Jul 2019 #40

Some won't make it that far. democratisphere Jul 2019 #44

Wow! mcar Jul 2019 #45

Exactly... Demsrule86 Jul 2019 #52

Nope. 2020 is the year of democratic women. Politicub Jul 2019 #54

"Joe the Uniter"? shanny Jul 2019 #60

So far the majority of Democratic voters. democratisphere Jul 2019 #79

Nope. A plurality at best shanny Jul 2019 #97

If that is the attitude we're going to have... Act_of_Reparation Jul 2019 #103

Nobody is going anywhere. This is a primary and test of each candidate. honest.abe Jul 2019 #117

Joe is doing just fine. democratisphere Jul 2019 #118

I tend to agree with you at this point but it will be interesting to see how this plays out. honest.abe Jul 2019 #119

We'll see. democratisphere Jul 2019 #120

I'm glad she spoke up. Biden is not inevitable, or shouldn't be. nt babylonsister Jul 2019 #2

I never thought he was.. I know Cha Jul 2019 #9

Inevitable is a loaded word...if he wins the primary which I believe he will...he will be our Demsrule86 Jul 2019 #53

Biden may be the so-called gaffe machine, but she seems to be making a few herself lately... George II Jul 2019 #21

She nearly pulled it off. ucrdem Jul 2019 #28

She's been looking for a way to break into Biden's AA support BeyondGeography Jul 2019 #5

Well, Harris' attack on Biden ended up impacting Warren as Biden lost one point in the polls while Skya Rhen Jul 2019 #16

Yeah, guess it's all over for Warren BeyondGeography Jul 2019 #20

But that didn't happen! Biden's AA voter support post debate has gone up 18% Thekaspervote Jul 2019 #41

Biden's support jumps 18% post debate with AA voters Thekaspervote Jul 2019 #92

It's not clear to me why people are mad about this tactic. It shows outstanding coordination and WhiskeyGrinder Jul 2019 #7

Harris was prepared, FoxNewsSucks Jul 2019 #30

After reading about some of her decisions as DA and AG...she may be a political genius... Demsrule86 Jul 2019 #56

I was talking specifically about this tactic, but go off I guess. WhiskeyGrinder Jul 2019 #58

I didn't like the tactic myself but fair enough. Demsrule86 Jul 2019 #84

I understand the urge to deflect shanny Jul 2019 #62

It was about him, and I was pissed ...still think it was contrived and fake...but Demsrule86 Jul 2019 #64

She's not my candidate shanny Jul 2019 #65

I know that and in the event that for some reason Biden is not in the running...which I don't think Demsrule86 Jul 2019 #82

last I checked all five of the top D candidates polled ahead of rump shanny Jul 2019 #98

It doesn't matter...The states we need are PA, MI and WI. And I don't believe Harris or Warren can Demsrule86 Jul 2019 #111

I sincerely hope I am wrong...but I have looked at the electoral college extensively and iwthout the Demsrule86 Jul 2019 #112

"Or is it simply that she came for Biden and hit him hard?" Bradical79 Jul 2019 #96

Omg she prepped. MrsCoffee Jul 2019 #8

For months. The segregationist comment was a week ago. ucrdem Jul 2019 #10

Yeah, preparation in the midst of a crowded, crucial primary. Paladin Jul 2019 #26

Yeah she had to show the right 'emotion' at the right time...tricky thing that. I used Demsrule86 Jul 2019 #50

Shout out to Don for keeping us up to date ucrdem Jul 2019 #17

In the long term, that minor conflict isn't going to matter. MineralMan Jul 2019 #43

nothing gendered about this shit. mopinko Jul 2019 #46

I'm interested in hearing what John Lewis and Clyburn say after debate. Here's Jesse Jackson: Hoyt Jul 2019 #48

Really...did you feel the need to talk about it when you had your t-shirts printed? Demsrule86 Jul 2019 #49

Yup, and she also banked on people being stupid enough to R B Garr Jul 2019 #63

She basically accused him of being racist and now her followers are saying he supported segregation. Demsrule86 Jul 2019 #83

And have those T-shirts ready to roll out! Zambero Jul 2019 #57

Horrors! She prepped shanny Jul 2019 #59

There isn't a policy difference. SouthernProgressive Jul 2019 #67

oh OK shanny Jul 2019 #70

No. It is not. The policy is not on the table. At all. NT SouthernProgressive Jul 2019 #71

I assume you are just trying to make this about busing shanny Jul 2019 #73

I am not only talking about busing. SouthernProgressive Jul 2019 #74

I did. shanny Jul 2019 #75

Not in our conversation. NT SouthernProgressive Jul 2019 #76

"I assume you are just trying to make this about busing" NT shanny Jul 2019 #99

Again, not in our conversation. SouthernProgressive Jul 2019 #102

Question: If biden had been in the lower bracket Butterflylady Jul 2019 #68

No. She didn't question Bernie on it. She didn't question Biden, she attacked and smeared him. emmaverybo Jul 2019 #88

I'm a Biden supporter... Skid Rogue Jul 2019 #86

It was low ball, underhanded. He was not prepared for her to attack him using personal dynamics. emmaverybo Jul 2019 #89

I'm sorry, Skid Rogue Jul 2019 #94

Oh thank you!!! A voice for sanity!! Thekaspervote Jul 2019 #101

Of course she did. Act_of_Reparation Jul 2019 #104

Just tell the truth tirebiter Jul 2019 #105

I feel the need to never vote for her... TrunKated Jul 2019 #107

She does her homework. RandySF Jul 2019 #109

The same Biden history was available to Obama when he chose him for VP. oasis Jul 2019 #116

And she executed the confrontation brilliantly. aikoaiko Jul 2019 #114

The way I see this, she is auditioning for the big show... the general election. honest.abe Jul 2019 #115
