Joe Biden 2020 campaign megathread v2

[Beefalow and the Consumer]

OP's question really makes me curious how Trump's attempts to get Ukraine to investigate Biden is being covered in the right-wing media.

There was no such attempt, but there should have been because Biden is guilty of high treason.

Yeah, that sounds about right

My fondest wish is for this whole fiasco to expose Fox News and the rest of the right-wing propaganda establishment as the liars and frauds they are, and the whole thing to be burned to the ground.

That's not going to happen, and even if it did, my right-wing friends will never stop going on about BBC and npr's sinister "agenda" (whatever tf that is). Someone will come along and re-fill the role of confirming the prejudices of paranoid old white men.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

Majority of Americans still doesnt see the Ukraine story as the smoking gun. Dems have the right for an inquiry, but all do respect, the noninvestigation of Biden by the FBI isnt gonna get GOP on board with removing Trump in the Senate

Biden allies might start a Super PAC:

https://www.nytimes.com/2019/09/26/us/politics/joe-biden-super-pac.html

Allies of Joseph R. Biden Jr., concerned about his slipping poll numbers in the Democratic presidential primary and an onslaught of attacks from President Trump, are weighing whether to mobilize a super PAC supporting Mr. Biden and have held conversations with wealthy donors to gauge their interest in contributing money.

Mr. Biden and his campaign aides have said since the start of the race that they would not welcome an outside spending effort on his behalf, and every other major Democratic candidate has sworn off super PACs for the duration of the primary. A spokesman for Mr. Biden on Thursday reiterated that he opposed super PACs and would reject any such group that attempted to support him.

Yet several former staffers of Mr. Biden and political donors backing his candidacy have held conversations in recent weeks about moving ahead with a super PAC, and said Mr. Trump’s furious, and often unsubstantiated, allegations about the former vice president had convinced them it was imperative they act.

If this Super PAC is 100% devoted to going after Trump and defending Biden from Trump's conspiracy theory garbage, then I fully support it.  The primary is an even playing field and there's no reason for any candidate to have a Super PAC.  But the general is a different ball game and we should be acquiring as much money as we can in any way we can to take down Trump.  This Super PAC being explicitly geared towards the general, in this case by not letting Trump kneecap Joe Biden, is a good thing.

But that aside, it's not like Biden has any control over this.  I could go start a Bernie Sanders Super PAC tomorrow and I wouldn't be the first.

I feel like the story does end up damaging Biden there is some smoke there it seems.

John Solomon is a right-wing hack.  His Wikipedia picture is of him speaking at CPAC.  He is on Sean Hannity at least once a week.  He has a rich history of reporting smoke with no fire as well as outright lies.

HERE HE IS ON HANNITY -- TONIGHT -- PROMOTING THIS STORY

https://twitter.com/atrupar/status/1177394481089404930

And you can see that in this story.  A billion paragraphs of insinuation based on what?  It's all smoke with no fire.  All the actions reported seem mundane and routine.  But Biden's primary opponents are chomping at the bit to boot him from the race over smoke, and Breitbart and conservative media are happy to oblige.  You, henster, are happy to oblige.  You've uncritically swallowed this article from a right-wing hack.

To all of you reading this.  You failed Hillary.  You will fail Biden.  This is your fault.

Are you okay?

Hahahahahahahahahaha!!!

[GeneralMacArthur]

Are you okay?

No I'm really not.  F***ing Sean Hannity and friends are coming up with conspiracy theories and Democrats are driving them.  I never thought I'd see the day where Democrats team up with John Solomon to take down Joe Biden.  What's next, are y'all gonna find a David Clarke article to promote?  Maybe Rush Limbaugh?  I wonder what Oliver North has to say about Biden's foreign policy?  What does Joe Arpaio think of his immigration reform plan?

Why would any dem campaign leak first to, checks notes, Neil Cavuto?

Even if this is true, Biden doesn't need IA or NH.

[TrendsareUsuallyReal]

If Warren wins the first three contests it’ll probably be too late at that point for Biden to change the course of the race, though

[TrendsareUsuallyReal]

Even if this is true, Biden doesn't need IA or NH.

True but he can’t afford to get his butt kicked in both of them by the same person. That would instantly make Warren the clear front runner even if Biden wins SC

This is a pretty brutal and effective ad no matter the context of what Biden is implying in that clip to someone less informed it looks damning.

Yeah no kidding, if you just lie you can make an effective ad.

How about this, Trump teamed up with Jeffrey Epstein to molest children and then fired the attorney investigating it.  Insert "you're fired" clip, filtered pictures of Trump and Epstein together and the clip of them at Mar-A-Lago, and that one Trump quote about "if she wasn't my daughter" and the article of him going to the changing rooms in Miss Universe pageants.

Boom.  Effective campaign ad.  All you gotta do is lie, why didn't anyone ever think of this before?

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

On-line donations are horrible for Biden. I guess he has that money saved from Ukraine, Hollywood who was going for Harris and Unions who take money out of paychecks

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

At this point, its best not to nominate Biden

That’s okay, Hillary failed the country by being such a horrible and visionless candidate that she lost to Donald Trump.  Biden failed the country by screwing up the Anita Hill hearing, pandering to racists for political gain, and running for President despite not being mentally fit for the job.

I'm pretty sure Biden will have withdrawn his candidacy before New Year's Eve. With his extreme matter of state when it comes to his atrocious state of mind - a mind that is clearly not working for more than at about an hour a time, which we have seen so laughably clear examples of in every single debate so far, there's no question he would make an absolutely lousy president. Like a historically bad one, the second worst ever after Trump. And then imagine a potential second period when he will be a - God forbid - 85 years old.

[Dr. Arch]

If he loses both of them, he's almost surely losing NV, and it's all downhill from there, SC or not.

[ElectionsGuy]

Keeping expectations low to control the narrative. Smart.
