Biden says he can beat Trump in South Carolina, Georgia, Texas

[left-of-center2012]

Democratic front-runner Joe Biden said Monday he plans to campaign during the general election and win in South Carolina, Georgia and Texas, states that have consistently supported Republicans for about four decades.

“We plan on campaigning in the South. I plan on — if I’m your nominee — winning Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina. And I believe we can win Texas and Florida, if you look at the polling data now,” the former vice president said at the Poor People’s Campaign forum in Washington. “It’s a marathon — it’s a long way off.”

Biden’s remarks came in response to a question about whether he plans to campaign in the South and the Sun Belt. “I have no intention of walking away, if I’m the nominee,” Biden said. “If I’m not the nominee, I have no intention of walking away, in trying to help whoever the nominee is to win those states.”

Biden, asked how he plans to get his agenda past Senate Republicans, said it’s not “naive to think we have to work together.” He said he intends to persuade Republicans to support his proposals, and if he cannot he’ll ask voters to throw them out of office.

1. I can't speak for Georgia or Texas

but if Joe wins the nomination, and his running mate is a white male, that will make it very, very hard to win in SC.

4. I doubt he would choose a white male as a VP

5. We won't have two white males on our ticket.

I would bet the mortgage on that.

2. I don't believe any Democrat can win in Texas

If Beto couldn’t beat that despicable Ted Cruz I don’t think we’re there yet.

But wouldn’t I love to be proven wrong!

3. Beto could win in the General. He doesn't have a prayer in the Primary.

I wish that wasn’t true. I like him-sent him $ for his roll out. Huge disappointment.
