(8,148 posts)would be above using Trump machines baseless Biden attack to further themselves. Good on Harris and Booker speaking up for him this time, but the silence from some others is deafening.
As I see some rival candidates supporters claim Rumps attempt to pick our nominee ironically disqualifies him, as distraction will cripple his chances in GE, I imagine how difficult for all candidates to take a hands-off approach.
Even too big a pause after a question can signal theres a there there. After some time passing and still the silence that speaks volumes, the Biden campaign sees united front against Trump machines manipulation not going to assemble. One candidate has already gone high-minded about VP adult children and foreign countries.
Weak, I hear, in various iterations: weak response to attack, weakened by attack, inherent weakness because weak with son, son weak because kicked out of navy etc, nomination will weaken party.
But strong response is weak too.
I say Just Say No to enlistment in Trumps plan.
Answer if moderator asks: Not going to assist Trump in using Biden to weaken our democracy. Theres no there there. Lets debate policy and qualifications.
Now that would be a show of strength.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
