(16,685 posts)stop getting into fights with people at events. Acknowledge your past flaws and explain how you've changed.
The one thing I do think he's been OK at is challenging Trump... but Trump and Republicans are inseparable now. He doesn't seem to get that.

(16,685 posts)Which i generally don't recommend with someone you don"t know... particularly if you're trying to get their vote...make sure you have a common frame of reference.

Joe needs to HAMMER Bloomberg on that at the next debate or he is toast.
Good luck to Joe at that debate. I would vote for him in a heartbeat over Bloomberg.

(5,790 posts)Should she reach out to Joe; ask him to suspend his campaign; and join her on the trail as her Veep?

bluewater
(5,376 posts)But, please don't ignore my point.
Biden needs to really challenge Bloomberg on Stop and Frisk.
Joe is bleeding black support to Bloomberg, and Bloomberg does not deserve that support compared to Biden.
I really think that If Joe doe not call Bloomberg out on that, it will be over for Joe.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

(47,468 posts)Biden and other Democrats need to keep harping on Stop and Frisk. I still have not heard a satisfactory explanation from Bloomberg.

(43,173 posts)Yes, yes, and yes, Bloomberg knows what he is doing, there is no downside to him or anyone who wants to defeat Trump. He beats up on Trump, and if the rest of the Democrats falter, Bloomberg is the nominee. If not, he's been beating up on Trump, something few have proven very good at. NO downside to this strategy. Zero.

(47,468 posts)Bloomberg helps to keep Trump distracted and he is really good at it. Let him keep pushing those buttons, but he won't get a free pass on Stop and Frisk.

(4,392 posts)It's a new world but not the brighter one as foretold so long ago - In fact, an admissions officer used it on us as their recruiting theme for incurring advanced debt, and then Joe helped the bankers not the students caught by stagnant wages, illness, injury; yet it stands in Federal law; now, you can just as easily catch and identify a lot of pathological "shade" (darkness) deservedly earned by old-fashioned turns of an advertising phrase.

(43,173 posts)I'd be outraged at dissolving the rule of law, I'd mention dictatorship often, I'd be outraged at using Ukraine to manufacture dirt on me and my family, go full Democrat and talk about civil rights, and I'd make a lot of noise because we're in a fight and we're going to have to offend the opposition a lot if we're going to win.

(94,581 posts)Organize a minimum of three meetings a day with voters. No stump speeches (DEFINITELY not with a teleprompter, like I saw on Saturday). Just engage one on one with the people in the room; thats where hes at his best.

(28,819 posts)I truly believe Bidens base is solid.
He was never expected to win either of those two. He should have done better but roll up our big girl pants and get on with it.
Secure your base and give em hell.

W_HAMILTON
(7,867 posts)I would say do more campaign events, but a lot of his supporters aren't really the types to go to those events. Hmm. I would say really invest in a good ground game to get his supporters and would-be supporters to turn out and vote for him, but it may be a little bit too late for that. His best bet right now is to probably get all his surrogates and supporters to really flood Nevada and South Carolina and do as many events as they can for him (even if he can't be at them all) to drum up support and try to regain his frontrunner position by Super Tuesday.

lunasun
(21,646 posts)The steyer guy wanted to approach you and said he would vote for you in the GE you grabbed him
Neither one was the Bernie bro ambush you imagined plus your possible supporters see this reaction and the vote for someone else is not a good slogan
Act like you have all the right stuff be more confident take the criticsism as a I see that point too or something less rough around the edges
Warren imo has the best approach with these kinds of situations
Even sanders gruff talk to the hand and not getting into it with someone is better than attacking back
Save that tough guy stuff for your future times with trump!
