In reply to the discussion: Democrats court doom by backing Bernie Sanders. His ideas are toxic outside blue America. [View all]Gothmog
(177,978 posts)He is more than strong enough. The GOP and trump are terrified of Joe which is why they are doing this. If sanders was the nominee, there is so much oppo on sanders that it is scary. trump could easily destroy sanders by playing clips of sanders praising Castro, the Soviet Union and participating in anti-American demonstrations in Central America. sanders participated in a rally where they shouted death to America. This would be a great negative ad that would be very effective against a weak candidate.
In 2016, Russia depressed the African American vote. At the National Convention, sanders delegates booed John Lewis, Elijah Cummings, Stacy Abrams and other African American speakers. Russia would use these clips to suppress the African American vote very effectively if a weak candidate like sanders was the nominee.
BTW, I stuttered until 4th grade. When my son was 4 we were told that he was developmentally delayed by the head of the Jewish day school (who was on the board of my Temple with me at the time). We tested my son and it was a language processing issue I evidently had the same issue and I showed by stuttering and son was just did not talk. My son went to be Phi Beta Kappa and is now a partner in a major law firm.
I told Joe this story and was hugged. Joe told me that he has 19 young people with stutters he calls once a week. I still stutter when I am too tired and Joe told me that this happens to him
I am convinced that Joe is the best person to beat trump. I have seen him up close and I have confidence.
Again, the GOP and trump are terrified of Joe. That is important.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
