Real high-level discourse going on in this thread, huh?

[President Johnson]

It is becoming more and more evident that Hillary was a much stronger candidate than he would be.

No, because Joe Biden is actually authentic in the eyes of a lot of people. Hillary always had the stigma of being an out-of-touch, power greedy lady who would do everything to get elected. Joe Biden is more seen as the nice uncle from next door. He is not Hillary 2.0.

The man who had to drop out for plagiarizing a speech one time and dropped after getting 1 percent in Iowa the other is stronger than the woman who won the most primary votes both times she ran? K.

Richard Nixon was a known plastic, Gerald Ford was an honest guy you could go have beer and nachos with.

So tell me, which one has the record for winning four Presidential Elections on both sides of the ticket, only nipped once.

And which one nearly got axed in the primaries, then proceeded to lose to a one-term Governor in a state where that wasn't even that powerful a position?

We're talking about the woman who lost an election to Donald Trump, who was less popular on election day than Barry Goldwater. This one shouldn't have been close but she took it for granted and campaigned in the wrong states.

I'm not saying Joe Biden would win if nominated, but he would stand a good chance to beat Trump (like most Democratic frontrunners).

Hardly a comparison. Ford ran under difficult cirumstances and came pretty close. He might have won if the campaign went on for one more week. And if he ran in 1980, he would have defeated Carter in a landslide. Also, Nixon won the races in 1968 and 1972 because the national environment favored him and his opponents were pretty weak.

Humphrey was not a weak opponent, quite the opposite actually when considering how stacked against him the circumstances were.

Also, Nixon really shouldn't have been able to come back and win the nomination at all after losing to
JFK in the first place.

This suggests a certain grit that comes from being perceived negatively, therefore having to work much harder to win votes.

Talk about "analysis" all you want, but yours is the candidate who literally has trouble stringing words together into coherent sentences. Our last nominee could at least do that.

[Progressive Pessimist]

I feel like Joe is way more vulnerable on abortion than on the busing stuff which is totally irrelevant today. He's literally on record trashing Roe and calling abortion a tragedy in addition to voting for the Hyde Amendment. That would've been far more salient than some issue that mattered 40 years ago.

If he is in the July debate with Gillibrand, I can just see her pulling a Harris on him over Hyde. I expect a lot more confrontation in future debates, in general. It's a tactic that has been working to the favor of the instigator so far.

I highly doubt Gillibrand will make it to the July debate.

But she's already qualified

This is seriously one of my main issues with him. It's potentially indicative of mental decline, which is a major issue for a president.

July has the same criteria, it’s the third debate in September, that changes it

Yeah, this. The same polls & 65K donors that qualified her for the June debate also simultaneously qualified her for the July debate as well.

I'll take a centrist sellout over a sociopathic child, should that end up being the choice I have thanks to our flawed democracy.

Uncle Joe isn't a sellout. He's a pargamtist who can get stuff done. A staunch leftist won't pass meaningful reforms through congress. He or she would only be signing executive orders that will be blocked by courts and/or revoked by the next president. Also, the Democrats won the House in 2018 by winning over moderate suburbanites, which are important in 2020 as well. Bernie won't do as well here than Biden or Harris.
