113. Biden didn't even invest with Wall Street when he as in the Senate, so as not to have

the appearance of impropriety. How did Sen. Warren make her fortune? I honestly don't know as I don't look for dirt on candidates who could win the nomination. Biden's history of legislation includes the violence against women act and two gun bills as well as other things. What has Sen. Warren accomplished during her time as a Senator? Please list in order of importance...

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

Joe Biden's Frantic Defense of the Status Quo [View all] BeckyDem Nov 2019 OP

If I, a regular citizen, said this, I would be laughed at and mocked for being naive and/or stupid. LonePirate Nov 2019 #1

So Biden Is The Same As Trump (Status Quo)? TomCADem Nov 2019 #2

Not stated nor implied but that is your take nevertheless. BeckyDem Nov 2019 #3

Trump is the status quote right now sweetloukillbot Nov 2019 #5

Nonsense. BeckyDem Nov 2019 #8

Headline is misleading WA-03 Democrat Nov 2019 #6

Apparently that's nonsense. sweetloukillbot Nov 2019 #21

The status quo is not IQ45; Agent Orange is a horrid, dangerous anomaly. Magoo48 Nov 2019 #72

Why not post something positive about your candidate of choice. Negative posting does nothing Thekaspervote Nov 2019 #44

because this is a thread about biden being for our failing status quo SterlingPound Nov 2019 #60

It's the disingenuousness sweetloukillbot Nov 2019 #24

Republicans are not going to work with Biden. BeckyDem Nov 2019 #27

Giving lip service to attempting does no harm sweetloukillbot Nov 2019 #38

You believe OP is equating Biden with Trump. BeckyDem Nov 2019 #52

Yes, and I also believe that you can't attack Biden for his time as VP without attacking Demsrule86 Nov 2019 #119

More people are now for Warren than Biden here at DU. BeckyDem Nov 2019 #56

The polls here on DU are far far from or reflect the nation and how they will vote Thekaspervote Nov 2019 #61

Alrighty then. BeckyDem Nov 2019 #67

No no no.. its "Alrighty Now".. don't make me lose faith in you Peacetrain Nov 2019 #71

Thank you! Thekaspervote Nov 2019 #80

You betcha!! Peacetrain Nov 2019 #146

The poll at DU does not reflect a number of polls in a number of states where Biden leads. That emmaverybo Nov 2019 #112

Funny how it is consistently been Biden supporters who say that. BeckyDem Nov 2019 #115

You can predict whatever you want. People may well change their minds. Right now Biden leads emmaverybo Nov 2019 #120

The polls. ok BeckyDem Nov 2019 #122

The point is that people are not changing their minds about Biden...maybe Warren. Is she slipping? Demsrule86 Nov 2019 #121

I think she has surprised a lot of people and will likely BeckyDem Nov 2019 #123

Warren needs to win Iowa and New Hampshire or come damn close...neither Sanders nor Biden have to Demsrule86 Nov 2019 #132

In the new HarrisX poll, yes. She has gone down to third place. Biden gained 4 points. Sanders emmaverybo Nov 2019 #126
