World leaders tell Biden: We need you

Politico

When Joe Biden attended the annual Munich Security Conference last month, the wonky foreign policy confab promised an escape from the nonstop speculation back home about the former vice president’s political plans.

Instead, Biden’s 2020 intentions were the talk of the conference.

When Armenian President Armen Sarkissian ran into him in a hallway, a TV camera captured him asking Biden: “Are you going to run?” (Biden whispered an inaudible answer.)

And in several conversations with European leaders in Munich, Biden heard a repeated refrain, according to a conference attendee familiar with the conversations: The world needs you.

1. Biden is not my first choice but he and Mayor Pete could make a fearsome team..n/t

2. 1. Politico (insert eye roll)

2. Foreign interference in our process?
3. Biden doesn't have to be on the top of the ticket or on it at all to be of assistance--SecState would be a good slot.

3. Poll says most Dems currently feel Biden's our best chance.

Sanders a no-go. OF course.

Today's polls won't mean anything next month, but still.

DATA DOWNLOAD: THE NUMBER OF THE DAY IS … 51 PERCENT
Fifty-one percent.

That’s the share of Democratic voters and Democratic-leaning independents in a new CNN/SSRS poll who said that the party has a better chance of winning in 2020 if Joe Biden is the nominee, compared to 36 percent who said someone other than Biden would give them a better chance of victory.

The script is flipped when the same voters were asked about Bernie Sanders. Just a third (33 percent) said Democrats would have a better chance of winning with Bernie Sanders as the nominee, compared to 56 percent who said someone else would fare better.

5. I deleted Politico from my newsfeed yesterday.

I was sick of their negative and alarmist headlines popping up on my devices.

7. They love the doom and gloom.

Strange that it seems to have a conservative bias.

4. They know him and that he'll get to restabilizing the planet.

Of course, all our solid, liberal Democrats would do that.
