I do believe very strongly he cannot win. I will support him if he gets the nomination.

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

Joe Biden Says He'd Defy Subpoena to Testify in Trump's Senate Trial [View all] bluewater Dec 2019 OP

False equivalence. TwilightZone Dec 2019 #1

You don't have to be on trial to be supeonaed. bluewater Dec 2019 #4

Biden is not a witness to the charges brought against Trump, so your argument fails. Skya Rhen Dec 2019 #6

Then that's what he should say in the hearing wellst0nev0ter Dec 2019 #9

exactly bluewater Dec 2019 #14

What hearing? George II Dec 2019 #20

There has to be a valid reason articulated in the subpoena. There won't be one IF they try. George II Dec 2019 #19

It doesn't matter, the law demands your response to a subpoena, that republicans are not Perseus Dec 2019 #25

What was Biden's clairification exactly? bluewater Dec 2019 #46

You are correct, he didn't say that Perseus Dec 2019 #49

good for him samnsara Dec 2019 #2

This is just the beginning janterry Dec 2019 #3

Not if we want to win...and can I just say echoing GOP talking points and giving Trump what he wants Demsrule86 Dec 2019 #41

I don't believe that Biden can win janterry Dec 2019 #50

I'm with you, I also feel that Biden cannot win Perseus Dec 2019 #57

Wishful thinking and he will be the nominee despite Trump's best efforts. Demsrule86 Dec 2019 #66

Well I disagree. I don't believe Warren or Sanders can win...and that is my opinion. I believe Demsrule86 Dec 2019 #65

This is one time when it would have been extremely prudent to keep his mouth shut Perseus Dec 2019 #5

I agree... Zoonart Dec 2019 #7

Oops: Kingofalldems Dec 2019 #10

And a big oops it is bluewater Dec 2019 #13

Not a good try there. Kingofalldems Dec 2019 #15

Care to point out any unlawful Congressional supeonas? bluewater Dec 2019 #18

Biden is not on trial. Kingofalldems Dec 2019 #59

So? A supoena is a supeona. bluewater Dec 2019 #60

Not a fact witness by any stretch. Kingofalldems Dec 2019 #61

People can simply refuse to comply with Congressional Supeonas? bluewater Dec 2019 #63

If supeonaed, Biden must appear. It's that straight forward. Lexee Dec 2019 #64

No it isn't...I would fight it in court...Trump should get a taste of his own medicine...how many Demsrule86 Dec 2019 #71

No one is arguing fighting it in court. We are saying stating he will not comply is wrong. Lexee Dec 2019 #79

We need to stop defending any of Biden's gaffes at all cost Perseus Dec 2019 #29

Yes Joe, you are correct, the impeachment is not about you, its about the con Perseus Dec 2019 #26

This is akin to accusing someone of being at fault because someone attacked them Peacetrain Dec 2019 #11

How else was he supposed to answer this question from The Register? Bayard Dec 2019 #12

How about "You're damn right I'll testify" wellst0nev0ter Dec 2019 #16

By saying of course he would comply with a Congressional supeona? bluewater Dec 2019 #17

Nope.. you got this one completely bass ackwards. Peacetrain Dec 2019 #21

Fail...clearly some hope that Biden will falter and their candidate will move ahead. Demsrule86 Dec 2019 #35

How about "No comment, this is an irrelevant question." Perseus Dec 2019 #31

Another rookie mistake by Joe. JoeOtterbein Dec 2019 #22

I've been saying all along, JOE BIDEN IS NOT GOING TO WIN THE ELECTION!!!! Scotch-Irish Dec 2019 #23

Joe Biden is the only candidate who can win the general election Gothmog Dec 2019 #30

Nope. Fortunately at least 4 Dems are beating Trump head to head bluewater Dec 2019 #33

Biden is the only candidate that trump is afraid of Gothmog Dec 2019 #47

I would be very happy if it was true...but it isn't. State polls show a different story...we will Demsrule86 Dec 2019 #68

It is true. Any of 4 Dems can and would defeat tRump. bluewater Dec 2019 #73

Total crap...he is being subpoenaed when there is no reason for it in order to help Trump...period. Demsrule86 Dec 2019 #27

Yeah, but this a congressional subpoena is legal. You have to fight it... LAS14 Dec 2019 #34

It will not be legal as it has no bearing on the hearings...He will fight it in court as he should. Demsrule86 Dec 2019 #38

First of all they have to get a subpeona and it could backfire on them...didn't work out so well Demsrule86 Dec 2019 #69

Sorry but you are missing the point completely Perseus Dec 2019 #39

That is not actually what he said...and the subpoena would be unlawful. Demsrule86 Dec 2019 #43

I suggest you read Biden's statement and stop saying things that are not accurate. Demsrule86 Dec 2019 #67

It would take 51 votes in the Senate to issue this subpoena and if this happens, Biden will comply Gothmog Dec 2019 #28

It's really weird Proud Liberal Dem Dec 2019 #32

I think it's good he said it now - not later. It's good strategy. Lets the air out of it now. bitterross Dec 2019 #40

He wouldn't "defy" it; he'd challenge it in court, The Velveteen Ocelot Dec 2019 #42

I agree with you. guillaumeb Dec 2019 #44
