Democratic Primaries
In reply to the discussion: I have read a concern here that Biden will not do well in a debate. [View all]MoonlitKnight
(1,585 posts)Gore trounced Shrub but was criticized for sighing at Bushs stupid comments and lies.
Kerry beat Bush in his debates.
Obama did poorly in his first debate.
Clinton beat Trump in her debates.
Not since Ross Perot made a fool of himself have the general election debates meant much.
Odds are that Biden is our nominee. He needs to hold the Hillary states, win back Pennsylvania and get the black and Hispanic vote back to Obama levels and we win.
Should it turn out to be Sanders, its his fervent base against Trumps. And we need to fall in line like the Republicans. I think we win that as well.
Its probably best to just have Joe lock up the Presidency and help us keep those swing House seats. And the progressives can focus on making the house and senate more blue and progressive so we can hand Biden the legislation we want.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
