In reply to the discussion: TRUMP CAMPAIGN VIDEO JABS AT BIDEN'S GAFFES [View all]Gothmog
(144,939 posts)30. Why is it so hard to accept the fact that Joe Biden in likeable and electable???

Biden consistently has commanded a staggering lead among black voters. Two-thirds of black voters over 65 are backing Biden, as well as 42 percent of black voters overall; Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) comes in a distant second with about 12 percent support. Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) is down at 8 percent and South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg is not even registering at 1 percent.
This sounds like a pretty interesting story. Instead, frontrunner, but is a common refrain. Consider the new Axios-NewsWhip 2020 tracker that found Biden has been bombarded by negative coverage. Of the 100 stories about Biden that got the most social media attention, 77 were negative. Presumably, the same is true of cable news.
Even with the magnification of Bidens gaffe-du-jour and the flow of media admiration of Warrens surge both of which reflect a true story Bidens backers are the most committed. Nearly 65 percent of his supporters say theyll definitely support him, as opposed to just 34 percent of those who support other candidates.....
Why is it so hard for people to grasp that Biden isnt just the most electable but, rather, the candidate with positions most in line with Democrats preferences? His platform is made up of policies that poll incredibly well and his supporters arent masking their love for progressives in favor of a safe bet. They like Joe.

These alleged gaffes are eye-rolling examples of the absurdity of the press or the woke left

What is why? That Trump finds a basis for criticizing him? Have you taken a look at what is said

And they worry about Biden's verbal gaffes? The president is a category 5 disaster.

What a demeaning characterization of what women said who came forward about Sanders' campaign.
