Joe Biden 2020 campaign megathread

[Scrumtrulescent]

I'm gonna laugh my ass off at this time next year when Biden is securing the nomination and Atlas finally falls in line.

I say it again.

Jeb Bush 2016 = Joe Biden 2020.

Joe Biden isn't the brother of an unpopular US president, nor does he have the personality of a styrofoam cup.

Actually his personality kinda sucks and it won't be doing him any favors.

He's a strong contender for the nomination, moreso than Harris, Booker or Beto, but he's coasting off of his time in the Obama administration. We'll see how far that takes him.

His appeal extends further than Booker or O'Rourke, however, don't underestimate Harris appeal among the base. She would be a strong factor against Biden, as voters who associate Joe with the Obama administration are going to be in a rude awakening when they find out about his troubling voting record. Those are the voters Harris needs to prevail over Bernie and the rest of the field.

Harris also has the checkmark of being a WOC whose the anointed figure leading the resistance against Trump. This forum doesn't know many voters if they think she's as weak as Biden, regard of name recognition.

Does The Anointed One have any flaws or is she just the most perfect candidate to ever run for public office?

Just wondering of the consequences if I dare commit sacrilege

huh

Can you expand on what you are trying to say here.

Jeb and Joe are low-energy cucks with similar mediocre logos who will hopefully have similar results in their respective primaries.

They're both similar because:

1. Low energy
2. Cucks
3. Bad logos
4. I want Biden to have a similar result as Jeb


I don't like Joe, but come on.

I guess Biden is also like Scott Walker in that their Twitter feeds are boring, they both led the April primary polls and I want Biden to drop out after the first debate

NY Times: Joe Biden Raises $6.3 Million, Topping Rivals’ First-Day Hauls

Former Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr.’s presidential campaign announced Friday that it had raised $6.3 million in its opening 24 hours, the biggest first-day haul of any 2020 candidate, easing concerns among some supporters over whether he would be able to raise the money needed to compete financially in the Democratic primary.

Mr. Biden’s team had viewed his early fund-raising showing as important, not just for the infusion of money but also as a metric by which his nascent candidacy would be measured. His campaign sent multiple emails asking for donations on Thursday and he attended a high-dollar fund-raiser in the evening.

His campaign celebrated its total in a note to supporters, calling it “AMAZING news.”

All told, Mr. Biden’s campaign said 96,926 people had contributed in the first day, and that 65,000 of the donations were from people who were not previously on his email list of supporters.

The campaign said that 97 percent of online donations were below $200, but it did not disclose the share of overall contributions that were below that threshold.[...]
