Biden's entry into this race just might be the best thing that happened to your favorite candidate

because if your favorite candidate has what it takes to win, the competition that Biden brings with him should serve to bring out the best in all of them in the very near future. Now that Joe has set the tone, it will be very interesting to see which candidate or candidates step up to meet the challenge of who can kick Trump's ass more effectively than Joe can....if that's possible.

I believe that your favorite candidate will have to emerge from the pack in a much more significant manner than just talking about the issues. With Biden now in it, they are going to have to prove that they are not afraid to go after Trump with aggression, just like what Biden did yesterday morning....no beating around the bush, no thinking that you can win just by talking about the issues, no fear about saying something too harsh about Trump, no parsing your words. If no one else can beat Trump to a pulp as effectively as Biden with their rhetoric, then Joe Biden deserves to win the nomination.

I think someone, and I have no idea who it is, is going to rise up out of the pack of candidates and make everyone take notice of them by ripping a new one for Trump. Maybe it will be your favorite candidate, and maybe they will end up being the winner, but whether it's them or whether it's Joe Biden who wins, with Joe in this race, I am more confident than ever that we will nominate the absolute best person who will go up one side of Trump and down the other, booting Trump's ugly ass to the curb for good.

I have no idea who it will be that will emerge and pull away from the pack, grabbing us all by the heart. Maybe it will be Joe, or maybe it will be someone we least suspect, but it sure will be interesting to watch and see. Bottom line, I feel a lot more confident today than I did the day before yesterday that Trump will soon be nothing more than a very bad memory. Our people are just too good, and with Biden in the race, it's going to make them all that much better.

Biden's assault on Trump yesterday was very exciting, refreshing, and gave most of us a welcoming boost in confidence, but I don't think that this show is over by any stretch of the imagination.

1. Those are very interesting thoughts, my dear mtnsnake.

And they make sense to me.

I think it will be enlightening to watch what happens to the race now that Joe is in.

Thank you!

4. Thank you, my dear Peggy!

I agree with you. The race is going to be enlightening to watch with Biden finally into it. May the best candidate win!

2. I think Buttigieg can meet that challenge in an understated way.

He tends to be very polite and doesn't want to talk about Trump too much, but he can make a sharp thrust with a smile. I think that can be very effective.

3. He sure did kick Pence's ass. Keep it coming Mayor Pete.

5. I thought the Biden announcement

Was the best I have heard and absolutely was the truth of what we face as a Nation.

6. Not one of the candidates has shown fear of going after Trump.

Or at least I havn't seen it.

Biden is the media favorite and as such he's going to suck all the air out of the room for a while. That is not going to last because he has to attack people from the right and that's not going to sit well with the activists he needs to be on his side. He also leaves himself open to attacks from the left and if his response is to belittle the left that's not going to get him any points either.

7. Old saying "To be the man, you got to beat the man first".

The level of competition just got a huge boost to the benefit of all Democrats. I signed up for Joe, really like the guy & think he's a uniter, which we need. However, there are several others that I also really like and Joe being in the debates will help them be better as well. We have to have our very best and brightest to go toe to toe with Russia and drumpf. We will have to win in a landslide to counter their known tactics of voter suppression and hacking.
