Congratulations to our presumptive Democratic nominee, Joe Biden!
Democratic Primaries
In reply to the discussion: Bernie Sanders is running for President. Everyone else ... [View all]Laelth
(32,017 posts)17. I worry about Beto's ground game.
Theres a certain sense in which he feels he can do it all by himselfby sheer force of will and personality, but I see no way to beat Biden. Now that he has formally entered the race, I think he is a fait accomplis. We want to beat Trump. All we need to do is keep the electoral college map stable and then pull Pennsylvania (Bidens home state), and we win.
I agree that early polling should be viewed with suspicion, but the early polls have been outrageously consistentfor quite some time. I think that Biden will be our nominee. I hope that Beto is our choice for V.P.
Thank you for the reply.

I hate the presumption. Why bother with primaries if we already know the winner? nt

I agree with you, with the exception of Elizabeth... she has a real shot in my view.

I think Bernie WOULD accept the VP slot... fortunately, I don't think, as the Democratic nominee

Even for a committed Sanders supporter, you have an unusual amount of faith in him.

Bernie's ego wouldn't let him. But it wouldn't happen anyhow, especially if Biden is the nominee.
