Joe Biden 2020 campaign megathread v2

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

Biden, Hilary and Ed Rendell need to unite behind a real candidate, Warren who is fighting, and doesnt have ethical challenges.

Yes, Biden will lose to Warren, black vote will fall off if he loses IA, NH and NV. Blacks in SC and Deep South think that Biden is Obama. Blacks in Cali, IL and MI know better

LOL.

[junior chįmp]

Yes, Biden, like Pelosi are frauds, they dont have the guts to call on Trump's impeachment

Good point OC

[Pericles]

That example is PC gone too far, a lot of the "PC gone mad" complaints are people upset they can't be racist or sexist or some other way of being offensive but it does get taken too far sometimes and this hampers efforts to fight genuine prejudice.

[American2020]

Is it time for a Biden Panic ?

[Hermit For Peace]

Yes. People need to see Biden for what he really is not, and move on.

He is not Obama.

He is not young.

He does not deserve the support he has been getting. It's knee-jerk reaction support that is dying, daily as Warren gains traction.

[Fuzzy Bear]

It's time for Biden to do a lot of reassessing.  There are people already hedging their bets.

If I were Biden, I'd be bold and name my running mate right now.  I'd offer Amy Klobuchar second place on the ticket right now.  If she didn't take it, I'd offer it to someone from a key state; Sherrod Brown or Gary Peters would be good picks.  (Beto would have been a good pick until he put his foot in his mouth on guns.)  If Biden believes a minority would be necessary, I'd recommend he pick someone NOT in office right now with real gravitas.  (Ken Salazar and Jeh Johnson come to mind as excellent VP picks.)  This would be the sort of game-changer that would give Biden the kind of momentum he needs to finish off the field for all intents and purposes.

Biden needs to go for broke in this manner, or he'll endure death by a thousand cuts.

[Fuzzy Bear]

It doesn't help.  Even if it's a total nothingburger (and it may well be), it's going to generate a negative buzz about Biden that he's better off without.

[Swedish Rainbow Capitalist Cheese]

Unless Biden selects one of his primary opponents that already has a loyal following, that will follow them to Biden, naming a VP already would be a big nothingburger. I mean, who is the person who will be more likely to vote for Biden in the primary because he says he'll make Sherrod Brown his VP. (If anything, any Democrat who wants to gain the Senate in the near future, would quickly change their vote to someone else.)

Did Cruz picking Fiorina in '16 do anything except make him look desperate? Highly doubt he gained more than 10 voters from it at best.

Picking a VP this early is a pretty desperate move that would probably do more harm than good - just look at what happened with Ted Cruz and his Fiorina stunt.

[Crumpets]

Didn't Biden strongly imply at one point that his running mate would be Stacy Abrams?

[GeneralMacArthur]

It's really tiresome that Biden's primary opponents keep trying to make this a thing.

No actual supporters of Biden are panicking.  Y'all just keep saying we are.

My Biden-Warren mock has Warren winning both Iowa and New Hampshire.  And I don't think Iowa will be particularly close.

Biden continues to hold a ten point lead nationality over Warren.  I believe a lot of her recent rise is due to Harris supporters moving to her camp.  Bernie supporters second choice is evenly split between the two.  Biden has major structural advantages that Warren hasn't shown any ability to compete with, and his policy positions are significantly more popular even within the party.

Democrats want Biden's health care plan over Warren's by a 2-1 margin.  A majority of Democrats name "someone who can beat Trump" as the most important factor, and Biden beats Warren there by a 5-1 margin. 

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

It is time to panic, if the primary opponents start dropping out, they are more likely to support Warren than Biden. This includes: De Blazio, Bennet, Klobuchar, Buttigieg and Beto. Booker was a main critic of Biden during the busing issue.

And Biden was supposed to win IA and NH and NV, they are Presidential battleground states, losing them makes him look weak if he wants to win against Trump. However, NH, has a hidden women's vote, that will come out for Warren

[Mr. Smith]

For supporters or Trumpeters? No.

For everyone else? Probably.

[Biden Stans Are Cringelords]

Unfortunately the media is covering for Biden so his supporters won't panic until he's up there on the debate stage getting utterly eviscerated by Trump in front of 100 million people.

[redjohn]

Biden is such a repulsive, cringe-worthy candidate. Truly wish he hadn't ran again, he brings basically nothing good to the table and it's going to be annoying watching him fail again and again and slowly tumble into defeat.

[redjohn]

One thing's for sure: Biden's not as clean as Tom Perez would like you to think, and this is one of many things that will pile up on Biden and cause him to lose.

[Orser67]

Oh no, a single poll shows Biden down by 2 points in a single state, everyone panic.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

Oh no, a single poll shows Biden down by 2 points in a single state, everyone panic.

Pompeo said on This Week, if Biden is the nominee, Trump admin has info on Biden, that he has violated the law with Ukraine. The scandal has legs. Here we go again, on another scandal with Biden, now. Just like with Hilary

[junior chįmp]

If it makes you feel any better....he'll probably forget this whole thing ever happened pretty quickly

I said, on Atlas, that if Trump is the nominee, I have info, hard info, that he is in fact an alien from outer space who eats children.

In unrelated news, I am threatening to bankrupt NASA unless they agree to investigate this "Trump is a space alien" conspiracy.  I mean, neither Trump nor space aliens have normal human skin.  It all links together.  The crooked, lying media won't tell you that though.

This scandal has legs, folks.

This.

Get a VP ASAP and start running for your life like it's the general.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

This just proves, that regardless of the nominee, the race isnt gonna be a landslide, if its Warren or Biden.  Biden is another elitist Dem like Hilary. Hilary was also way ahead in polls. Biden is scandaled, as well.

[ElectionsGuy]

Just because he's statistically tied in Iowa?

[The Free North]

Biden's most ardent supports (based on polling data) are old, black voters. So long as he crushes Warren in that demographic, he will win.
