Doing my best happy dance I can do.. VP Joe Biden looks to be running

He is close to making up his mind.. the family is on board.. timing is right... seems like everyone is in the water except for Beto...Can you see me smiling through the internet... well I am ..




I will try and keep it to a low roar when he actually does announce.. Making no promises though..

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

Our party isn't going to nominate two white males in 2020. There's just not a compelling logic there. Think about it this way: if Biden gets the nomination it means that O'Roarke failed as a candidate to connect with a significant enough share of the base to be in the final contention.

This is primary time. We get to imagine all sorts of combinations...

Also like Biden and Klobuchar Biden and just about anybody.


My speculation is just as worthy as anybody's speculation.

Personally, I don't think a woman can win this time around. And none of this has to do with "compelling logic".


My logic tells me Biden is the most qualified both nationally and internationally.. My logic also tells me that Beto is the most exciting candidate since Obama.

Think the average Democratic voter, or any voter for that matter, votes with the intention of being in a "group" to elect a minority, a women, or a white male. People vote for people they like, first. BUT, we are in extraordinary times. We must pick someone who has best chance of beating the devil. If you happen to like that person, you are lucky.

Uncle Joe deserves another shot at the presidency, after being Obama's loyal VP, no question. He's also the only candidate, other than Bernie and Elizabeth, who would absolutely cream the Liar-In-Chief, without it being close. You'd see Joe in every mid-western state campaigning his ass off... he sure wouldn't leave anything to chance, just like Bernie & Elizabeth wouldn't.


Bernie & Elizabeth 2020!!!

electability this time. I also think Sherrod Brown could beat Trump but we give up a much needed senate seat. If Sander won the nomination we would lose a Senate seat as well as Vermont has a Republican governor.

I think that could win, but I am 64 years old, I would like to see us hand the baton off to the younger generation. I don't think we can win with a true progressive, even though I pray for it often, I am a realist, you can't just win New York and California and win a national election.
