Joe Biden 2020 campaign megathread v3 (pg 45 - mass-dropout aftermath)

[brucejoel99]

As we see Biden fall again, as we get closer to primary election, Biden is failing again in IA, NH, NV and Cali, he is so boring and doesnt defend himself from attacks; consequently,  the Superdelegates were very wrong to endorse him. Hilary was beloved due to Bill Clinton having a boon economy,  Biden did virtually nothing as Veep. I rather see Bernie take it and I will vote for Booker or Stenya in the primary. Hope Jess Scarane beats Coons, stop Biden Dems

Biden when he was attacked by Harris didnt defend himself,  he had Carol Mosley-Braun take up for him

This is laughably incoherent and inaccurate

That's classic olawakandi!

What do people think of a Biden/Harris ticket?

I don’t like Harris at all, but I’m also not their targeted voter. But I am genuinely asking what people supporting Biden (and others) think of this?

I think she would be his best choice. She balances out the ticket in a lot of ways. Plus, they're not very ideologically dissimilar.

However, if he wants to truly balance the ticket while simultaneously bringing major (positive) press attention & a significant fan base to his campaign, then he'd be wrong to choose anybody but Warren.

Uncle Joe is still leading the national polls in the upper 20s and lower 30s, as well as most state polls. A prime example how he has been underestimated since the start.

tell us more about these states and their place in the primary calendar

Nevada (02/22); South Carolina (02/29); Alabama, Maine, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, & Virginia (03/03); Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, & Washington (03/10); Arizona, Florida, Illinois, & Ohio (03/17); Georgia (03/24); Wisconsin (04/07); Delaware, Maryland, New York, & Pennsylvania (04/28); Indiana (05/05); & New Jersey (06/02).

Stop. Y’all know that man is not putting a Republican on the ticket.

I do think it’s hella annoying how Democrats are always asked these stupid ass questions though.

You're right, but Biden's also the one who chose to give that particular answer, further proving he's unfit for office.

"I guess I could choose a Republican VP but I can't think of any off the top of my head" is a perfect answer to the question of would you choose a Republican. It allows you to look bipartisan while signalling that the GOP is bereft of statesmen. But okay, go off I guess.

Joe Biden wants to end prison profiteering.One of his top fundraisers is a major player in Prison healthcare
Another blatant lie to earn progressive street cred.

Prison healthcare contracts aren't the same thing as contracting out the actual incarceration. Indeed, some services can definitely be managed through the use of private contracts. Of course, the actual prison system shouldn't be, & all contracts ought to be subject to Inspector General reviews, but why disagree with the existence of prison healthcare contracts if the providers thereof don't hold any influence over incarceration rates (which they seemingly don't)?

The coal miners learning to code thing is easily the dumbest thing he’s said all year. We’ll see if any of the savvier campaigns pick up on it.

There's good reason to support it. If any of the other campaigns are savvy, then they'd actually do themselves well to support it as well.

I don't understand how someone really believes this.   It can be hard enough for someone with an MD to learn to code, why would it be easy for a manual laborer?  Of course some will have this latent skill but you can't count on it.

Biden can learn to program well or STFU.

Biden's 'industry' (if you can call it that) isn't one nail-in-the-coffin away from being 6 feet under.

This is how a president sounds like.

Excellent speech. My favorite part is when he moved his lips in conjunction with the vibrating noise in his larynx to assemble sounds which are recognized as words. His words were plentiful with a rich vocabulary known as speech and they connote deeper meanings in the form of assembled sentences and voters loves sentences because they speak sentences too. Biden also stood there and the American voters relate to a man who stands. With his 2 feet and standing ability... he stands tall. All day long, from the time they wake up, voters stand and Biden stands with them by standing tall via standing and voters love tall candidates who stand like they do.

Biden may be a simple man of low intellect but he knows how to sound tough and wave his hands like the body language experts he hires tell him to in order to prey upon peoples cognitive biases by looking tougher than you really are. Biden's speech is a reminder to all Americans that if you speak words, stand tall, and use body language then you too can be taken seriously on things you kno nothing about.

The whole "low intellect" thing is pretty dumb. Sure, Biden is no Warren or Buttigieg, but it is clear that he knows what he is doing when it comes to government whether you agree with him or not. Honestly, no one who has risen to this level of political success is likely to have "low intellect". I was never an Obama guy but he was decidedly not that, as was Clinton.

Yeah, the only "low intellect" person here (indeed, the ones who are losing their marbles, if you will) is the one calling Biden "simple" for no other reason than the fact that they have no legitimately defensible qualms.

Biden needs to be in the retirement home. That’s his crowd.

I’m 30. I’m 100% for Biden.

Hell, I'm 20, & I'm also 100% for Biden. Guess I'm packing my bags from my dorm to a retirement home first thing on Monday morning!

Biden on phone call: 'I'll be damned if we're gonna lose this nomination'

"The point is that, I want you to know [is] that things haven't changed in terms of responses we're getting, in terms of whether it's contributions online or whether it's endorsements since both of those primaries have taken place," he said.

Biden said he has raised more than $4 million online in the first 11 days of this month, including $453,000 online on Tuesday.

"So my point is that we've not seen any diminution in the energy or in endorsements," he added.

Biden said he made clear to attendees at his South Carolina event Tuesday, which he left New Hampshire to attend, that the race "is just beginning and we're not anywhere near the end."

"I'll be damned if we're gonna lose this nomination, particularly if we're gonna lose this nomination and end up losing an election to Donald Trump," Biden said on the call, adding that he's "not sugarcoating" his chances and that he "feels really good."

"Obviously I'd have rather won both, don't get me wrong," Biden said of his performance in the first two nominating states.

Biden pointed to Bill Clinton's early losses in the 1992 primary before he went on to win the Democratic nomination.

Seems like Joe finally realizes that it's time to stop pussyfooting around, wake the f**k up, & get out there & convince the people why he's the answer; to exude that cool confidence & create some excitement, get those surrogates campaigning for him, shake the money tree, & do it, because it's go time! (And if he could stop appearing as if he's insulting voters, that'd help a little bit as well.)

The possibility of this makes me incredibly excited.

Vice President Kamala Harris & Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, here we come!!

Biden is mentally incompetent, I feel.

Oh jesus

Biden is mentally incompetent, I feel.

Oh jesus

I like him, but I don't think he is mentally there. My cousins friend, a police officer feels this way.

Biden right now:

4-5-2-1 is unstoppable Comeback Kid strategy, you losers!

This but unironically.

Biden refers to Super Tuesday as super thursday.

This is not even a f(inks)ing gaffe. He corrected himself immediately. You guys are desperate.

He has done this type of stuff for months(debate stages) and you guys are giving him a free pass on it. He struggles to remember and speak clearly.

Oh, then by all means, please do show us your license to perform geriatric psychiatry, since you so obviously have one; at least, you make it seem as if you have one, based on the confidence with which you state that which you don't know.

In all seriousness, can people please stop talking out of their asses when it comes to this "struggles to remember and speak clearly" crap? I'm 20 years old, so I'd say that I'm quite young, & even I sometimes slip over my own tongue in the midst of talking. It has less to do with age & more to do with just being human. God forbid we elect such a fallible beast to the Presidency of the United States.

In what universe are "almost all the races right after ST . . . gonna be Bernie friendly"?

Who is saying this?

IndyRep was very clearly replying to this:

Hey guys throwing this out but might we be overreacting a bit? I mean Biden still has no staff or ground game in California or the northeast along with the fact almost all the races right after ST are gonna be Bernie friendly

So, it was Hindsight is 2020 who was saying it, but sure, go off on IndyRep I guess. 🤷

Some (ID, ND, WA, etc.) obviously are, though not all of them. Coming as someone who generally likes your posts, and thinks that you do a good job of checking your bias in your R vs. D predictions and analysis, I think you could do a better job of checking your bias in this particular primary.

Oh my god, I just watched the clip from Mayor Pete's endorsement and how Joe Biden compared him to Beau. I'm almost crying because of this. Both of them are have so much character.

Yeah, I never expected to see such a beautiful, honest moment that connected two people in a way they needed out of the ugliness of our current political landscape. Very glad they got to have that.

Saw this on Reddit:

Beau was a future President when cancer unduly took him away from us. And now, more than anything, this relationship makes me feel confident in believing that Pete will still be President one day.

[brucejoel99]

This video clip is just amazing. Turn on the sound. The guy here really sounds like Obama:

You seriously never watched Key & Peele?

[brucejoel99]

Poor Joe Biden, is going the way of Jeb, he is gonna be another frontrunner,  who failed in primary. Sorry, Bruce, Bagel and Johnson, your candidate isnt gonna win. Coons and Markey are gonna lose too.

I remember the Fred Thompson candidacy of 2008, as well, went the way of Biden.

Bruce and Johnson doesnt post much since Biden isnt winning

lol

[brucejoel99]

You were sahing the exact same thing about Bernie less than a weeks ago.

It just proves my point. Biden supporters don't care about anyone to their left.

Cool story, bro. Too bad it's not true.
