Democratic Primaries
Related: About this forumWhy Biden is the candidate who will most illuminate Trump's corruption and lying.
....The answer is very short and very simple. Every time the word "Biden" is said, Trump's corruption
and lies are thought about. It is a constant reminder of who Trump is and how he operates. By saying that word over and over again, Trump will look like the crook he is.
....Just as important when Trump claims he, "Did nothing wrong" as he will say, and says now, it will highlight and be a reminder of what a liar he is. The nomination of Biden will be a constant reminder of the of the lies and corruption of Donald Trump.
....The single most important action that the United States can do is to get rid of Donald Trump as president. We all agree on that. Yes, forty percent will support Trump, but the rest of us truly dislike his lies and evil nature as well as his corruption. What is even more important, is by nominating Biden, that nomination by itself, will help to get out the vote against Trump.
...Every time the name "Biden" is mentioned, Trump is exposed as a crook and a liar. We must win to save this country. What better way to win then nominate someone whose name alone increases awareness of Trumps lies and corruption among those who could vote against him. (and will motivate many to get out and vote against the liar and crook)

(3,256 posts)Years of demonizing liberals has taken it's toll.I like Joe I just don't see how it the mention of Biden alone destroys Trump. What I'd love to see is someone give Trump a reaming to his face and actually get angry. Hillary is a great debater, but I'm thinking politics has tunred into a bad version of pro wrestling.The best candidate will not be the one who reacts to the thing but the one that keeps attacking until he loses it completely. He got away with some real BS in the last candidate debates and no one called him a son of a bitch to his face. I kind of wish HST was alive. He knew how to give them hell.To make a long story short you can't be nice to an asshole because they will only get worse.

(8,144 posts)personality dynamics, or the historicity of their candidacy.
Biden took it to Trump. He pioneered the idea of unity in this fight while others took potshots at him for such a message, calling him an appeaser.
Now every candidate takes it to Trump, talks unity, has discovered the threat to democracy four more years presents.
These were Biden themes day one.
Progressive! Hell yes.

(38,445 posts)....Biden this, and Biden that. When "Biden" is mentioned, most people will think about Trump getting dirt on Biden. While the specifics may not be clear to everyone, this idea of getting dirt on Biden is known to everyone. The entire Ukraine fiasco was about Trump talking to someone about getting dirt on "Biden"..Trump trying to get info on "Biden" brings to mind a crooked move by Trump. (to the great majority of people)
...Now Trump says that he "did nothing wrong." He can say what he wants and has. But most of us know that he did something terrible. Almost all legal scholars say Trump did something wrong. But what matters is that Trump be defeated in November. Even mentioning "Biden" brings up the idea that Trump tried to do what he did. When he says, "I did nothing wrong." most of us know it is just another lie. I did say, "most of us" because some people in the U.S. don't care one way or another, and some don't care what is said because those people are "True Believers" in Trump.
....If indeed most of us think of Trump as a crook when Biden is mentioned, then what our side needs to do is mention anything that evokes in the minds of most of us, that Trump is a crook. And Donald Trump was a crook, is a crook and will always be "a crook." (and liar too)
......Important, Please read
....One last idea, ..We must win this election to save this country. We all know this... If mentioning a word, whatever it is, brings to mind immediately that Trump is an evil crook and lies all the time, we must do it to win. And you had better believe that the Trump campaign and Trump himself will do anything he can to win this election. Trump will do anything to win Yes, we must fight fire with fire, and we must do whatever we need to in order to win.

(58,785 posts)America should know that Biden resolved not to own stocks or bonds when he entered congress at 29 to avoid the questions that always arise of conflicts of interest. It's cost him fortunes as his friends' wealth grew over these decades of massive wealth buildup, but he's never changed his mind.
