I no longer have anything to say about who it will be our standard bearer..Joe Biden

was my choice.

If I lived in NH and was going to vote this week.. Joe Biden would be my choice

If I were caucusing in NV week after this.. Joe Biden would be my choice

If I was part of the group who really will say who is going to be our candidate (Super Tuesday) Joe Biden would be my choice

I would never let the republicans get away with the smear campaign they have been using against Joe. Never. And if you have another candidate closer to you philosophically.. I hope you will stand up for that person. Because if they succeed doing to Joe what they did to Hillary , they are coming after them all.

Stand Strong Joe.

But I am today far closer to Amy than I would have expected to be at this stage.

Just being pragmatic, she is the next best viable option (followed by Warren).

The need to get Trump out of the Whitehouse outweighs my long time support from Joe.

They had convinced many, otherwise logical people, that Hillary was evil/crooked and so on. They turned Kerry into a war chicken from a war hero. They will do their damndest to make any candidate we put up what they want him/her to be. Part of our job this year is to make sure they don't succeed.

with Joe’s obvious joke—and no, you don’t have to know which movie to know it’s a line from some old Western—-despite audience getting it. Now we have “bizarre” Joe etc.

Guess standing ovation last night stepped on the preferred narrative, Biden’s campaign is terminal.
If he does get traction via a win in SC despite all attempts, including throwing the race to Bernie, MSM will likely spend as little time as possible on any positive Biden news, and instead, for the next 24 hours, warn of his impending doom in the next state and gush over a rival’s miraculous “surge.”

unless you forgot the Ukraine business with his son and the famous phone call that got Trump impeached but not convicted. They're trying to smear Joe and have enough voters be disgusted in enough states to not vote for him and give it to Trump.

No matter how disgusting Trump is, their proven strategy is to lower our vote count as much as possible.

And, the silence from other Democrats who could be defending Biden is eye opening. It seems many don’t care because it isn’t their candidate or their choice. But, when Trump and Gooliani , and the Russians come after YOUR Candidate, don’t expect me to care enough to defend him or her.

Sun Feb 9, 2020, 10:55 PM
Feb 2020

that everyone on this forum can agree that we need to go with the "most electable"............

The most electable, up until now, is Joe Biden. Period.

If you doubt my thinking, then ask yourself: Why have the Republicans and Trump being going after him full time, from every angle, for the last 9+ months. They aren't going to spend their time and money to go after someone they are not worried about, now are they?

All during the impeachment investigation and impeachment "hearing", instead of normal: Hillary, Hillary, Hillary, or Bengazi Bengazi Bengazi, or emails, emails emails it was BIDEN BIDEN BIDEN...........

Trump's DOJ/BARR has, in the past few days, begun everything he can to go all out to destroy Biden with criminal investigations, interviews, depositions and hearings........Trump now has the approval to invite other countries, even our enemy countries to legally interfere with our elections. The FEC has been rendered a nothing by the Republicans, The three government groups actively investigating election fraud was destroyed by Mitch taking their entire funding away, etc etc etc

If they are going to take out Biden, they must be supremely threatened that he will have the best chance against Trump.
It will be just like what they successfully and corruptly did to Gore, Kerrey, Hillary and others.....

The corrupt corporate fascist tyranny, (AKA Republicans) will go after Biden like they have never gone after anyone before............

With Biden about to experience the "all out Wrath of Hell", from undoubtedly the most corrupt party in this country's history, I'm not sure who we should go with for the nomination.

I have to say, the Democratic Party is in the worse shape they have ever been in......
They can't even control the continual and constant entry of all kinds of people into the primary, much less decide on who to go with.
At this rate, they won't have a designated candidate until October.......
I honestly think that the Democratic Party is being helped with the disarray by the Repubs every way possible.... Just look at Iowa.......A republican group sabotaged the system to collect Iowa democrat primary votes by overwhelming the Dem's phone lines with thousands of the Republican party members calling in and tying up the phone lines. It is a really really old scamming technique, the dem's IT should have prevented it...............(It's called a denial of service if you want to look it up)

Really simple shit, but overwhelming devastation......

I truly believe, all things considered,...... WASF

As a Sanders and Warren supporter I feel for you. His son did nothing wrong, Is was something that any senator’s son does. Look at Ivanka and Jared and the rest if of the grifter family!!
Joe Biden is a true public servant and a father figure for us all. I did not always agree with his decisions but I respect him. I am sorry that your candidate is not doing as well as you had hoped.
I recognize that we may all have to compromise somewhat to save our country from Trumpism.
