If people are not talking about you.. you will not win this election

there is an old axiom to that effect. any news is good news.. . the ones that keep the talking heads going are Biden, Harris, Warren, Buttigieg.. everyone else is running way behind, and starting to fall off the cliff...


So with that in mind...


I am expecting a ton of fireworks in the next couple of weeks so people will get their names back in the news.. and there have been so many guns aimed at VP Biden that it is starting to run a little stale.. so everyone else better keep on their toes.. its going to get interesting

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden

I'm for Biden AND Harris! I like both of them very much and have donated to both, however some of those pundits are so biased against Biden it's disgusting. I'm not talking about objective critique either. One of the pundits pretty much called Biden a racist..well, she couched her words saying something like he has racial views. All of them talked about him being SOOOO old.

On other shows I always switch off Eddie Glaud Jr.

put their hearts into his not making any movement post announcement.. and when he took off.. it has been a non stop attempt to demean him.. and when their talking points are disproved.. its on to a new outrage.. they did the same thing to President Obama when he was running..I could not believe it.. they have been sitting in those damn circles for too long.. they actually have started to think that they have the only opinion worth considering.. they just reflect back to each other.. if VP Biden does get the nod.. he could be taking incoming from both sides non stop from the commentators (not the news people) .. which probably means he has hit the sweet spot

is so foolish and dumb. trump does not want to run against Biden. The election will be won in the middle no matter what some folks think. I wish folks understood this. We can not win with a candidate that has too many give aways. Why? All we will hear is how will we pay for the goodies. Folks in the middle will be turned off. As long as we have to win the Electoral College, we have to win state by state. Our goal has to be to beat trump and not Biden.
