Biden will not beat the buffoon.

We seem to be in the same boat republicans and many others were when presented with the idea they could have a beer with G. W. Bush, and to them that was it...

Democratic candidates must be vetted well, there cannot be any fanatism, we need to see the good and the bad and right now, in my opinion, Biden is not the person to lead the Democratic party, he not only has too much baggage, just last night there were too many things that disqualify him, starting with his defense of the NRA.

The buffoon WANTS Biden to be the nominee, he knows he can crack Biden.

I was very disappointed in the way he conducted the Clarence Thomas hearings. And yet Obama picked him. Obama needed the right leaning centrist on the ticket to win.

I do think Biden has lost several steps. If he gets the nomination I see Trump pummeling him in debates. It will be vicious. Trump will be bully again. But Biden could win the sympathy vote. Benito Trump will never win that title.

I hope Biden rallies. But at his age there have been so many tragedies, the burden of having them in his heart seems to be taking a toll.

Be strong Joe! Bounce back to prove you are the good guy to take down the bad guy and take on the dozens of crises we have stumbled via our outdated electoral college.

I cannot understand why he has the support he has, three times last night he showed he is not fit for president:
1. His defense of the NRA
2. His lame excuse that he didn't vote for busing because it was a "local" decision. You either support an issue or you don't.
3. His "negotiating skills" with republicans that gave everything the republicans wanted, terrible deal as pointed out by Michael Barnett.
4. His lack of understanding when Swalwell talked about "passing the torch", he was told he needs to move on and let the younger, progressive people change the country, but he thought he was being complemented.
5. He was the only one who did not raise his hand when asked about Universal Health to later say he did, and then repeat what Buttigieg had said.
6. Everyone seems to have forgotten his performance during the Anita Hill hearings. Well, that is the real Biden.

He will change tune when he finds it convenient, when he knows his beliefs are not popular and won't get him votes. I don't want that, I want a candidate who will stand by his principles and beliefs whether some people think he is right or wrong.

Anyone who thinks that with Biden it will not be politics as usual is dreaming, Biden is from the old school, nothing will change and in his wish to be liked he will again "negotiate" with republicans on another loosing deal.

So much talent on the democratic side and people still need to insist on someone like Biden? Where are the progressives? Biden is not a progressive...I really don't understand it.

"I really don't understand it."

That seems the one and only cogent point made in a series of allegations lacking any objective evidence to support them.
