I think he is the best they got out of all who have announced. I personally would like to see a real businessman win over a career politician but I like Joe, think he is a good dude, and 8 years of VP gives him credibility and a sense of stability which our current POTUS does not have. I also think he has a shot of unifying which we really need. We will see how it all works out but this hug attack is laughable, as you said, move onto the substance
With all due respect, Slade...are you really picking a President because you think "he is a good dude"? I have friends that I think are good dudes but I wouldn't entrust them with taking care of my pets for the weekend let alone the country for four years! Joe Biden has been a Senator since Moses was a pup because he isn't smart enough to do anything else. As for 8 years of being VP meaning something? In the words of John Nance Garner the Vice Presidency is "not worth a bucket of warm piss".
I’m not picking anybody at this point. I’m actually hoping for a strong independent candidate to emerge. But out of the Dems I think Biden is the strongest candidate at this point. I think it’s pretty obvious. You don’t?
Of the group that's running you might be right, Slade but that's an indication of how poor the candidate pool is for the Democrats...not a ringing endorsement of Biden!
You've got a whole slew of candidates that are fighting each other in an attempt to be further to the left than the other guy or gal when the country has not moved to the left like the Democratic Party has. I think the issue for the Democrats is that they've convinced themselves that everyone feels the same as they do and that they can run on things like a 15 dollar an hour minimum wage...a green New Deal...Medicare for all...and free college for all! Those things might be accepted at the dinner parties THEY go to or on the media outlets that they listen to but outside of the "bubbles" they've isolated themselves in...the average person thinks that they are NUTS!
