I just hope that whatever "groove" he has now persists throughout the general election, should he be nominated.

The Joe Biden of 2012, or even 2016, wouldn't have me as concerned as current Joe Biden has me.

I agree. While I am firmly to the left of him, I have always liked Uncle Joe, but man, the 2019 version of Joe is too close to being a rambling fool for me to be comfortable with him as the nominee. I guess it is good that his opponent is even more of a rambling fool than him, but still. It is not a good look that he can't maintain his train of thought for more than 10 seconds at a time. Still, rather him than inevitable GE losers like Bernie or Liz, so unless Mayor Pete (or someone else) surges, I've got Uncle Joe's back in this.

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.

Same!! I loved it!

Sh-t. I teared up watching this too:

Pete has a bright future in President Biden’s admin.

I hate myself for having hope, but I really feel like Biden has a shot to win in the general. My head says no, my heart says yes.

Just saw it. It was pretty great, yeah.

Pete should probably give the convention keynote speech.

Would any Biden supporters be open to the idea of Tammy Baldwin as VP?

I’m pretty much open to anyone who can help unite the party behind the ticket.

I don't think anybody is kidding themselves into believing that Uncle Joe is an amazing candidate.

But he is a decent, unthreatening man that most people like, and perhaps exactly the kind of non-polarizing figure we need after 4 years of Trump which has the nation almost on the edge of civil war.

This is what people are not getting. Hillary didn't lose bc she was a centrist. She lost bc people didn't like her. I personally loved her, but unfortunately, the electorate, through years of smears, was not fond of her didn't trust her. THAT was why she lost. Not because she had centrist policies. And it's not even like her and Joe are *that* centrist, they were center-left, but still with many liberal policies. Just because they aren't as far left as Bernard doesn't mean they still aren't pretty left.

That is completely right (oh, and I loved her too - still do).
