The "nastiest" stuff was about Bernie outspending him and Biden talking about cutting social security. A debate the way they should be. Trump is going to bring up Biden being a rapist, Biden being senile, Hunter Biden banging his brothers widow and so on. Different playing field.

Very interesting read. I would predict their are many of them out there, just not publicizing it, the silent majority if you will. They remind me of numbers of the people who came out and voted for same sex marriage and for the removal of the 8th amendment in Ireland. I am calling it now. Biden will beat Trump. He will beat him in the debates (we all know that intoning wronnnnnnngg is not really debating, and the moderators will be ready for it) and he will beat him at the polling stations.

Many assumed Hillary would win last time, others were sore over Bernie not getting the nomination and some went with the third candidate as a protest vote. This time round, it's more about getting rid of the cancer that is Trump, rather than anything else. Not to disparage Biden at all, but for many, a hamster could run against Trump and win this year. Poll after poll show that he is toxic, particularly for women voters and if they come out in big enough numbers, particularly in those all important swing states, he is toast come November. His base will always vote for him, however, he won't have picked up many undecideds/swing voters over the last 4 years and indeed will have lost many voters who went for him in 2016. It's Biden's election to lose, imo.

But I'd have expected a much more polished candidate with some kind of clear platform...do you think Biden is it? A yesterdays man if ever there was one?

dark crystal wrote: » Do I think he's the strongest Democratic candidate? Nope. But he's safe, he's seasoned and he's not a woman with strong opinions. He's a middle of the road white man and that'll do for now. However, his strongest selling point, imo, is simply that he's not Trump.
Silentcorner wrote: » Wasn't that Hillarys strongest selling point too?
