Biden's latest Hideous Gaffe ought to put him out of the race. Voltaire2 Aug 2019 #1

I agree,it's the reason I had to say something. saidsimplesimon Aug 2019 #4

desperate cries from those who won't touch Biden's chances are kind of sad. Demsrule86 Aug 2019 #14

It's still early for calls of desperation. imo saidsimplesimon Aug 2019 #15

I call it as I see it... desperation is palpable. Demsrule86 Aug 2019 #26

I call it as I see it too, and he/she who has the better view may be seeing it clearer? Perseus Aug 2019 #66

The GOP want EW clearly... not Biden...she has run on policy that Demsrule86 Aug 2019 #69

Things to consider, I will do some research to find out what her eligibility is in those states Perseus Aug 2019 #73

If Clinton had beaten Trump with an Electoral College victory but lost the popular vote, elocs Aug 2019 #83

If Hillary had won because of the Electoral College republicans would b working hard to eliminate it Perseus Aug 2019 #90

Republicans know full well that the electoral college is their only chance. Garrett78 Aug 2019 #92

The Rust Belt myth lives on. A misunderstanding of what happened in 2016 plays a big role. Garrett78 Aug 2019 #89

We'll see the next few polls. treestar Aug 2019 #30

If Biden"s so-called gaffes are his biggest problem, then he's an ideal candidate. There is nothing Doodley Aug 2019 #87

Lol. yardwork Aug 2019 #103

I cringed when I read that Sec of State Clinton said that. pangaia Aug 2019 #2

Why? Butterflylady Aug 2019 #47

"unusual rhetorical detours" Quite the turn there Autumn Aug 2019 #3

Nice catch Autumn saidsimplesimon Aug 2019 #5

I catch a lot of things. Like the "over 40 kids shot at Kent State on a beautiful lawn". Autumn Aug 2019 #10

No kidding, and people are doing some serious gymnastics trying to explain that away. cwydro Aug 2019 #17

I watched this happen with my Father. I wonder if this is why Obama Autumn Aug 2019 #21

Well, he'd certainly be in a position to know. cwydro Aug 2019 #22

I finally watched the entire video. cwydro Aug 2019 #28

The apologists say the comments about women are a form of "gallantry" bluewater Aug 2019 #35

Yeah, I found that bizarre. cwydro Aug 2019 #42

I share this memory with you. saidsimplesimon Aug 2019 #38

I disagree...she will not win the states we need...the rust belt Demsrule86 Aug 2019 #6

Agree, I like EW, but her poll numbers with the AA voting block are DISMAL! Thekaspervote Aug 2019 #9

Maybe certain posters who'd like to hold her down have pointed that out again and again True Dough Aug 2019 #27

No, but I consider it unlikely...and we still won't win the general. Demsrule86 Aug 2019 #39

No one is saying those number won't change. Thekaspervote Aug 2019 #72

IMO that is why you can't cut out Harris yet. She will probably come in second to Biden in SC... brush Aug 2019 #67

Biden speaking in NH: "I want to be clear. I'm not going nuts." bluewater Aug 2019 #7

I watched the same thing with my Father. I know, it took two years in Dad's case. Autumn Aug 2019 #13

Comments are brutal, "Bow out, dementia, call off his campaign" those are the kinder ones n/t Baclava Aug 2019 #19

I hadn't seen this. cwydro Aug 2019 #20

Apologists will say it's due to being a former stutterer. bluewater Aug 2019 #23

Which is outright drivel True Dough Aug 2019 #29

No Biden supporters are not seeking "sympathy " votes ..that's lame Thekaspervote Aug 2019 #74

To the first 5 posters... ya'll just don't know when to let it go Thekaspervote Aug 2019 #8

The fear is that Biden could really blow the general election bluewater Aug 2019 #11

So, how's all that bashing workin' for ya? Thekaspervote Aug 2019 #25

Matt Viser is a respected political reporter at the Washington Post bluewater Aug 2019 #31

I'm not saying that isn't what he said, I'm saying that your negative twist on it is what's wrong Thekaspervote Aug 2019 #59

I live in Mass Green Line Aug 2019 #32

Its funny how that works Perseus Aug 2019 #37

Here's another guardian article that shows why he's in the lead Thekaspervote Aug 2019 #57

Yes, I had read it Perseus Aug 2019 #77

I'm trying to stick just to facts and not interject opinion and if I do I say so Thekaspervote Aug 2019 #80

This is not bashing, sorry you feel that way, these are facts Perseus Aug 2019 #91

I'm in a very blue area of Mass Green Line Aug 2019 #86

I live in Mass, and all the Democrats I know JenniferJuniper Aug 2019 #51

Odd how a discussion about Biden's actual words and behavior is considered bashing and Autumn Aug 2019 #70

Not hear mammmm.. dealing in just facts Thekaspervote Aug 2019 #75

Oh yes. What about Warren? What about Pete? What about Steyer. Autumn Aug 2019 #81

Oklahoma, solid red saidsimplesimon Aug 2019 #107

It just makes me mad. I like Elizabeth Warren as a Senator not as president...she comes from Demsrule86 Aug 2019 #12

Senator Warren saidsimplesimon Aug 2019 #16

She has gone to far...and I doubt she can tweak her message...and we still lose Demsrule86 Aug 2019 #24

All of your concerns are misplaced Bradshaw3 Aug 2019 #36

We would and with a GOP governor,we can't count on getting it back. Demsrule86 Aug 2019 #40

Also wrong Bradshaw3 Aug 2019 #52

Two words...Scott Brown. She would have to resign her Senate seat... Demsrule86 Aug 2019 #63

A person who can't win the states we need is no the best candidate no matter Demsrule86 Aug 2019 #41

Repeating fact-challenged assertions does not make them true Bradshaw3 Aug 2019 #49

Then you should look at your opinion based comment #33. It's your opinion not fact Thekaspervote Aug 2019 #78

Democrats alone won't win the general...always the mistake who claim every year that Demsrule86 Aug 2019 #44

Certainly Warren is that risk empedocles Aug 2019 #18

I don't have a favourite at this time, I am trying hard to do a lot of analysis Perseus Aug 2019 #50

I speak only for myself. saidsimplesimon Aug 2019 #76

Some people don't understand analogy treestar Aug 2019 #33

Here is a very good article from the Guardian about Biden Perseus Aug 2019 #34

That you consider this a 'good' article says it all...opinion with little merit. Demsrule86 Aug 2019 #46

I have always like Biden as a person, I am not a fanatic Perseus Aug 2019 #71

Excellent article, Perseus mtnsnake Aug 2019 #93

does this article mention how Warren can win the black vote ? JI7 Aug 2019 #48

+1000 the the AA women I campaign with and know pretty well are Demsrule86 Aug 2019 #56

my question was about whether the article mentioned how Warren can win the black vote JI7 Aug 2019 #60

I will say it...she can't and won't... I could see Harris winning it but not Demsrule86 Aug 2019 #62

i was asking if the article mentioned how she could do it JI7 Aug 2019 #65

Anyone, black or white, who doesn't vote for whomever our candidate is - is a fool. cwydro Aug 2019 #98

Best qualified? How? She may be, to you and supporters, the candidate with the best policy emmaverybo Aug 2019 #53

+1000...and all her gift are useless if she loses a general which I believe she would Demsrule86 Aug 2019 #58

Great well thought out post!! Thx emmaverybo Thekaspervote Aug 2019 #96

You can't leave out Harris and Buttigieg. They have enough money and support to last. brush Aug 2019 #54

Be prepared for anti-Biden ads targeting the AA community in the general election... 4139 Aug 2019 #55

That will lose votes for candidates who run such ads in the primary ...in the Demsrule86 Aug 2019 #61

I said be prepared for that in the "general election" if Biden is the nominee 4139 Aug 2019 #64

I gave you the general too...I said with Trump the racist such ads wouldn't work...and Demsrule86 Aug 2019 #68

At first I was kind of horrified by Biden's comment, CrispyQ Aug 2019 #79

Biden does have more experience. saidsimplesimon Aug 2019 #82

Much ado about nothing. Same media who smeared Senator Obama now attacking his brother VP Joe. Princetonian Aug 2019 #84
