Democratic Primaries

(43,891 posts)When the primary season was still new, the narrative among many on the left was Biden was too old to run. Now some on the left are looking for some sort of justifcation for that view.
Biden appeared shaky when several of candidates were piling on? Of course he did. Wouldn't you? Didn't Kamala Harris look like a fumbling deer in the headlights under the same circumstances? And she's "only" 54.
Warren, no spring chicken herself, and Sanders (also old, right?) glares and points and waves their arms when flustered and challenged and can deflect with lofty "viva revolution" rhetoric,
We have some here saying "if Biden can't fight off 3-4 other Democrats assailing him, how can he take on Trump?" That's an asanine comparison. On a debate stage against ONE other person, Biden wouldn't be catching it from all sides.
And to anyone who for some odd reason believes Trump could take Biden to task, go back and watch the Trump/Clinton debates. He was/is a fumbling oaf with zero grasp of history and policy. Clinton sliced him up. Biden (or any of the candidates or any one on DU reading this) would do the same. Easily.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
