Joe Biden 2020 campaign megathread v2

[Fuzzy Bear]

Having remembered Biden as a young, up-and-coming Senator, how old he appears is shocking to the system.  Some of that is due to the fact that it reminds me that I'll be 63 in January, so that can be taken with a grain of salt, perhaps.

But the Presidency is a KILLING job.  While all people age significantly over 8 years, or even 4 years, look at the pics of Presidents going into office and coming out of office.

Biden heaps praise on GOP in a fundraiser in Massachusetts. Says there are a huge number of great men in GOP who want to do well & he will work with them. He blames Trump for intimidating them & says it is not their fault but Trump who has them on a leash & is causing them to run from all meaningful legislation.

Uncle Joe is beyond repair !

What was these great men's excuse when they blocked everything Obama tried to do in his second term? Biden is delusional.

One more reason to relieve an obviously unfit man like Trump from this taxing job.

Does he not remember his own Vice Presidency?

I mean, I wouldn't even be that surprised if he actually didn't.

I think Warren would be a good choice for Biden as VP - female, progressive, can actually get some people excited, would probably kill it in the debates.

It could be a good idea, actually.
And when Biden decides to exit, Warren would be better suited to take his place in either 2024/2028.

Biden's VP would need to be much younger at least in their 40 or 50s.

[Minnesota Mike]

My god some of you are so blinded by your support of another candidate/Biden hate that you try to blow every tiny thing into a major scandal. The fact is nobody but hardcore fanatics of another candidate looking for straws to grasp give a crap about stuff like this.

[Hammy]

Biden has never been fit to run for president, let alone serve.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

Biden hasnt won anything, when Biden beats Buttigieg and Warren in IA, then we can talk. Buttigieg can win by .5 like Clinton or Warren. He isnt gonna win landslide

That's true; I agree.

Meanwhile Biden favorables are on a steep decline according to the NBC Wall Street Journal poll,

[President Johnson]

Except for multiple senate races (at 29 he ousted an incumbent senator of the president's party (Nixon), who just won reelection in a massive landslide) which were mostly landslides and two presidential elections as the vice presidential nominee. The only two consecutive elections since WWII in which the Democratic ticket received over 50% of the vote. That isn't nothing. And in 1988 and 2008, Biden didn't have the stature and ressources he has now. He wouldn't be the first president who ran unsuccessfully before.

[Sprouts Farmers Market ✘]

Congrats on winning a competitive election 47 years ago. And I guess being friends with a guy who people were actually voting for.

Biden will still probably beat Trump when he is the nominee, but Democrats can do much better. Warren and Sanders.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

Northerners are racially, sensentive, still, with what Biden said about Blacks and Busing. This is why Warren and Buttigieg have caught fire in IA; NH and NV. The same racial division in the presidential race with Trump, is reflected in the Democratic primary. I live in Cali, SSM isnt a factor for Warren and Pete Buttigieg. They have the momentum here, as well.

Oh, come on. You’re trying to give Biden credit for Obama dragging him to the White House?

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

Obama could of done better with a different Veep, thats another reason why 2010 was such a disaster, Biden did campaign for Dems but didnt go out of his way to do anything but do what Obama asked him to do as Veep. Veep office from Cheney to Biden to Pence has been weak

The Biden-Ryan VP debate was one of the big rebound moments that broke the tie for Obama in 2012.  Who dragged whom?

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

Ryan was only mentioned due to Sherrod Brown not being avalible for Veep, due to Cordray losing. Buttigieg and Warren is getting headlines, just like Harris-Beto was, before Beto downfall.

Biden's debate against Ryan definitely helped, but I think Romney's "47%" gaffe was the real clincher.

What Bidens trying to say is that they only blocked those things because Obama was black. With WWC hero ''Uncle'' Joe (who's picture hangs in the house of every WWC heartland real Merican), the GOP wont engage in obstruction since he's white and he can speak their language.

Good point. Bensen owned Quayle in the 1988 debates but was unable to drag Dukkakis to the finish line with him. On the other hand, 24 years later, somehow a VP debate zinger by Biden clinched it for Obama and of course not the demographic changes that occurred in those 24 years and economic indicators around election time.

All hail Biden now. He holds the magic in his finger tips to make the VP debates nobody watches matter.

Biden had good intentions on being a good candidate, but when Veeps step out on their own they get gaffe prone. The busing issue was an example of that. Biden was well disciplined when he was under Obama. Same thing happened to LBJ with Vietnam, H.Bush with Iran Contra and Gore with Lewinsky

That is why he has been advising Biden's campaign I guess.
