Democratic Primaries

(4,341 posts)for Biden. Lets face it, Biden has been on the wrong side many times throughout his career and if you think the Democrats went hard at him, just wait and see if Biden wins the nomination, the republicans can't wait to have him as a target.
The republicans are salivating at the prospect of Biden being the nominee, the show the creature is putting out pretending he is afraid of Biden is just a show, they want Biden more than anyone, they know Biden wants to be liked, they know his entire history and they will attack him very hard. Last night was nothing, and I believe Biden brought it on to himself, he got the first question and did not waste any time to go after Harris, after that it was total chaos.
We need to be objective, we need to look at all the candidates careers and see where they have stood, and Biden, even before the Anita Hill debacle, has a history of being more on the right of the issues than on the left, if we fail to recognize that fact we will fail come 2020. His agenda, if he were to become president, is more of the status quo, nothing he is offering, despite of flip-flops last night, is what progressives want, and the majority of the Democratic base today is progressive.
I thank Biden for his service, I now think he should go back home, write a book, do a book tour and give speeches, retirement is actually very good, and he deserves it.
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
