Democratic Primaries
In reply to the discussion: My thoughts on why the Sanders' campaign is in meltdown [View all]BidenBacker
(1,089 posts)that when Bernie hits Biden in the next debate over the AUMF that Joe would fully explain his vote and everything that led up to it. Since I've been a Biden supporter since the mid-2000s I did a lot of homework before the 2008 primary season into exactly what transpired but it would take a super long post to explain it. But it would surely make a good fascinating read of what happens behind the scenes in DC.
Bottomline is Joe didn't just recklessly give Dubya a rubber stamp to go off and whack Iraq like Sanders keeps saying. If anything, had Biden been successful in what he was trying to do then the disaster in Iraq may never have happened. But Bernie strikes me as a binary kinda guy and his supporters aren't much into nuance so I have no doubt he'll try to bludgeon Biden with it in a desperate attempt to score a few points.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
