Watching CNN this AM and VP Bidens enthusiasm quota was 64%

vs 36% could look at someone else.. it blew the whole enthusiasm gap right out of the water.. their polling guy was back from vacation... Biden is just keeping steady with his people.. and he is strong..

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

1. This "enthusiasm" criteria is pure BS. If I wanted a president who I was most "enthusiastic" about..

people are set on Biden...and they are not shifting one way or the other looking for someone else..I cannot think of their pollsters name.. I was going to go and try and find the video.. but he blew up one of their broadcasters theory right out of the water.. now that put a smile on my face a mile wide.

4. They were looking a number of polls..

and some of them were a little strange.. they had Sanders doing this huge jump over Warren.. it just does not make any sense.. and the one he put up was asking people if they were basically set on their candidate of choice.. and 64% of Bidens self identified voters were solid.. with only 36% still on the fence.. such a solid voting block..

9. I have favorites, but I will wait until my own primary to decide. How can you be decided?

(i.e., the flip side of the question is equally valid, given not one vote has been cast).

I would note that I have said not one overtly negative thing toward any of the top two tier candidates, nor any with the exception of Gillibrand (re: Franken), Gabbard (Syria, pro-Putin), Moulton (attacks on Pelosi), Ryan (attacks on Pelosi), and Williamson (not qualified). I have, however, tried to intercede to defend several candidates I thought were being attacked unfairly or inaccurately.

So, I am true to my word in giving all benefit of the doubt, while I have three or four favorites.

is our best choice. trump doesn't want to run against Biden. Biden running with a strong, progressive, Dem woman would be a formidable ticket. We have never had a woman VP. She would be positioned to become President. Biden would be all set up prior to taking the oath to begin to undo the horrible stuff trump has done.

8. Could not agree more... I think the VP is in for one term..
Mon Sep 9, 2019, 11:02 AM

and getting the government back up and getting our allies back on board..and Bidens VP can then run for two terms.. we have the possibility of an almost Rooseveltian opportunity here to actually get some things done..

10. Love that idea. One thing the Dems can not shy away from is adding SC appointments.

Not to stack it, but to bring it back in balance. After disinfecting the court of Kavanaugh, of course.

a fitting end to the nightmare known as Donald Trump and his hatchet men.

this canard that is going around about Biden's supporters not being enthusiastic is just plain wrong.. much to the chagrin of one of the morning hosts..
