There was Johnson treatment, now we have Biden treatment. The more arrogance from Biden, the more Sanders (and others) will surge.

[DrScholl]

The actual electorate doesn't care about random Twitter videos from the campaign trail unless the media actually hypes them up and so far it doesn't seem like the media cares. Biden will be the nominee and he is being greatly underestimated right now.

Love how Biden's the only candidate who can have a senile freakout at a voter and the media doesn't care. The establishment media is so in the bag for Biden it's hysterical. A benefit of Trump winning is that the influence of traditional media has been greatly reduced, so nobody cares what the talking heads on CNN have to say anymore. This candidate is so unfit for office, and really he's unfit to speak with American voters.

This is the furthest thing from a senile freakout.  You Bernie people just keep lying about Biden videos to trick people who haven't actually watched them.

Yeah, it's totally normal for a candidate to repeatedly touch a voter and tell him to vote for someone else as soon as the voter asks a question. Nothing to see here! Joe is totally mentally stable.

Bernie Sanders could throw somebody's baby over a bridge and you be like "YASSS, BERNIE, THROW THAT CORPORATIST BRAT, BURN DOWN THE SYSTEM!"

If he's really guaranteed the nomination, you all won't still be talking about Biden all the time.

Yes, it's totally normal for a candidate to repeatedly touch a voter.

Telling a voter to vote for someone else is nicer than telling him to f*** off, which is what Biden really wanted to say.

Biden's up there letting people take pictures with him and this guy comes bounding up, tells him he's voting for someone else, and starts on some gotcha question about pipelines.  Then when Biden calls him out for being a Sanders voter, he lies and says he's not, even though on his blog he says he supports Sanders.

The worst part?  This poor, sweet, sensitive soul was just so shooketh by Biden that he still thanks him and asks for a picture afterwards.  Then goes and posts on social media about how traumatized he is.  That's really the worst sort of person where you do something nice for them and they still go dump on you afterwards.

Biden is totally calm and in control throughout the entire thing.  Not senile at all.  But if you want to just lie about things that are in the video, I'd also like to add that after taking a photo, the voter gave Biden a big bear hug and told him "I'd die for you, sir, you are my hero, and Bernie Sanders thinks orgasms cause cancer and women want to be raped."  Not sure why someone who loves Biden so much would post nasty things on social media afterwards, very strange!

[GeneralMacArthur]

One more thing I want to add.  The other time Biden famously told a guy to "go vote for someone else" was this really obnoxious latino guy who had been following Biden to all his events to harass him with questions about immigration and try to get a viral moment.

Guess what that guy's doing now?  He's being paid by the Sanders campaign.  What are the odds he was secretly working for Sanders the whole time?  Wouldn't be the first time Sanders has pulled that trick.

Bernie had a damn heart attack, lied about it, and the media said nothing. Get off your cross.

In reality, a Romney administration would be equally if not a greater horror show than the current one. Biden's heart is not in this fight and he should yield the field to someone who still gives a damn about this country.

[GeneralMacArthur]

Oh man, it just keeps getting better.  This moron the Sanders people are trying to turn into a martyr is a self-described "agitator-in-chief" and ran a climate change protest a few months ago that used racist imagery and was condemned by the NAACP.

Gotta respect Biden, he knows a rat when he sees one.

When the Sanders campaign sends their people to disrupt our events and sabotage our photo-ops, they're not sending their best.  They're racists, they're sociopaths, they're hysterical clueless teenagers.  And some, I assume, are good people.

How would a Romney administration be at all equal to the horror show that is Trump? Because he is conservative? Sure, Romney's policies would be harmful and not ideal in many ways, however he is competent and at least cares about the country.

Romney never fed into the divide in this country and encouraged it for his benefit
Romney never insinuated that "second amendment people should do something" about his political opponent
He wouldn't:
-- be soliciting political help from foreign countries
-- call white supremacists "great people" thus emboldening them
-- cause massive distrust in the free press by calling them "the enemy of the people"
-- push Russian govt-created conspiracy theories every single day
-- discredit our intelligence agencies in front of the world and siding with a dictator
-- reveal classified information to foreign ambassadors
-- threaten nuclear war on Twitter
-- engage in a harmful trade war that hurts our farmers
-- lie over 15,000 times and get away with it, shifting the Overton window of what is acceptable behavior in mainstream politics
-- fail to fill vital cabinet positions and ambassadorships
-- support a pedophile in a Senate race
-- call anyone who fails to support him "human scum"
-- be building a useless and divisive border wall
-- falsely allege that a caravan of scary foreigners is heading this way every time an election comes around
-- undermine America's faith in the electoral process by making false claims about illegal voting in key states that he lost
-- Separate children from their parents and lock them in cages
-- hide his tax returns
-- fire an FBI director for investigating him
-- mock a woman at a rally that is accusing his Supreme Court appointee of sexual assault
-- help Saudi Arabia cover up the murder of an American, or at least ignore it
-- kick Transgender people out of the military
--  encourage violence at his rallies
-- praise a congressional candidate for physically attacking a journalist

. . . should I go on?

[Progressive Pessimist]

I think everybody is underestimating the power of being an old white man. And that goes for Sanders too. Biden has had numerous incidents like this one in the past year and none of them have had any staying power. It might be why many in the Democratic primary continue to see him as the most electable.

[Illini Moderate]

Romney never fed into the divide in this country and encouraged it for his benefit

and he never APOLOGIZED for AMERICA

if Trump had run in 2016, the REpublicans would have devoted an entire day of their convention to "you didn't build that!," instead we had one of the cleanest presidential campaigns in US history.

Romney also put a well-qualified youth with serious policy proposals on his ticket to appeal to Suburban Moderates, many of whom Trump has turned to Marxism.

2016 was one of the cleanest Presidential campaigns in history? Hmm don't recall that one

[Wells]

Romney would do at least 75% of that list and actually has done plenty of those things.

[Interlocutor is just not there yet]

All I know is that I'm glad I don't incessantly follow political Twitter and don't find it to be the sole/dominant forum this primary will be fought in.

Oh really? Which ones has he done

How the hell is that offensive?  The imagery was pretty clearly used to imply that humans allowing the effects of climate change to melt the ice caps = suicide = death.  Unless we're going to go a step further and declare that all suicides by hanging have a hidden racist agenda to them now.

[GoTfan]

Something interesting I stumbled on while reading I Heard You Paint Houses was that when he first ran for Senate, Biden got the endorsement of the Teamsters Local, which was headed up by none other than Frank 'The Irishman' Sheeran.

I'm not dumb enough to claim that Biden's linked with organised crime. Just an interesting factoid.

The difference in Biden and Sanders’ leads against Trump in Jose polls is statistically insignificant and a statistician of Morris’s background is negligent not to mention that

[Bidenworth2020]

The fact that Biden consistently does 1-2 better than Bernie in pretty much EVERY poll though, and usually better than that median when there is a discrepancy, DOES point to it being statistically significant. Also the fact that Biden's "undecideds" are far more favorable to him than Bernie's are, as Bernie has consolidated the younger vote to an extent Biden has not yet.

I don’t know what stats class you took, but that is still not a conclusion supported by statistically significant empirical data
