The people running for the ticket aren't there to get Biden the nom. There will be sniping, some dirty accusations, press blowing stuff out of proportion. To the average person who doesn't post in a politics subforum on a fantasy football site this stuff doesn't even register.
As long as Biden is staying ahead of the polling and isn't seen as slipping, he will keep his attacks on the President. In the opening debates next week, other candidates are running out of time if they have any shot of being noticed. If they go after Biden at all next week in the 1st debate, I expect more indirect attacks than straight up, but you may get one or two candidates who go in a little stronger. Booker has been setting up for this opportunity, let's see if he goes more aggressively. As some of these candidates begin dropping and time passages, they are going to have to go after each other, but while I would expect it to be more policy based than the Republicans in 2016, identity politics are big for the far left of this party.
I am picturing the conan obrien bits with the still photos that have moving mouths.
Pretty cringeworthy stuff.
It sounded like he was referencing his political work done with black churches.Did anybody see the interview with Al Sharpton yet? Kudos to the Rev on this for really grilling him. Biden said he “grew up in the black church.”

I agree, still pretty funny. The finger waving and thigh grab he lays at 1:58 in the video on Sharpton though is bizarre.
It is a bit of a roller coaster with Joe at time but his answer to the question was fine.I agree, still pretty funny. The finger waving and thigh grab he lays at 1:58 in the video on Sharpton though is bizarre.
What you mean is Cosy Booker is not willing to let this go away because it’s the only Time Booker has gotten his name in the news cycle.
And Republicans never play the race card in the primaries or in the general? Please. Reagan talking about the "welfare queen" driving a Cadillac. Or the Willie Horton ads against Dukakis in the general. Or how bout John McCain in the South Carolina primary where Bush people spread the rumor of McCain having fathered a black child?
If you’re running against Donald Trump you don’t need any practice playing the race card- when he deals it’s in every hand.It is always important that the Dem candidates get some practice in playing the race card in the primaries so they are ready for the general.
No you misunderstood me. Trump never plays the race card because Trump is a racist.There are multiple Democrat Presidental candidates working to take out the front runner of their party in the worst way imaginable, and all some Democrat posters here are talking about is Trump playing the race card.
See you can't take this out of context. Biden is very proud that he voted against busing. He is very proud of his plan that caused mass minority incarceration. Then there is Anita Hill a double whammy.Widbil83 said:
And throw in some visuals of his finger wagging and getting close up in people's faces with those denials. The resevoir of examples is growing, including that picture Joe posted recently and a forum where he responded to Joy Reid getting about as close to her as possible. He's very defiant in defending his positions.
They did last time. So go ahead and run Hillary 2.0 then spend the next 4 years blaming someone else for the loss.
In fairness, (nearly) four years of Trump may help with energizing dem voters, even if Biden is the candidate
Perhaps. And to be honest I am more concerned with what happens in 2024 if we get 4 years of nothing changing which is what Biden promised his big donors.
Though I disagree with you, this at least is a legitimate concern. Biden losing because of lack of black support is not, IMO.
Something to keep in mind about that latest polling. 2/3rds of those polled said they didn't know the candidates well enough to decide. Joe is still running on name recognition to some degree. Further we did see African Americans in that poll say they were less likely to vote for Biden after his comments came to light. Combine those two factors with Joe's propensity to gaffe and I would suggest my credibility is just fine.
Also not a huge fan. He means well I guess.
Mayor Pete is definitely right there. He’s got plenty of game. How the little guy handles national adversity is next step I suppose.
When I wrote this, I was just going by head-to-head polls, but as Nate Silver says, those are basically useless right now (for the general election).
