3 years in the Senate, no foreign policy experience, no executive experience as a governor or mayor or in private or military sector, let alone lack of economic expertise to be elected to assist and even replace a visibly ageing lifetime politician - no I can't imagine how Kamala would be considered qualified.

The progressives have no where to go, so I think Biden will choose someone to get himself the swing vote such as Klobuchar.

Obama I think the 'exception that proves the rule'. Whether one supported his policies or not, with his limited prior experience he was able after taking office of a country in a financial mess to hold things together. Gambling on inexperience won't work out all the time.

While some of the same weaknesses could be applied to Sanders, he is driven by a vision of transforming the country, to me Biden is like Romney, tinker here, tinker there, without control of the Senate I can't see a Biden presidency achieving ,much. Sanders would have offered America a sincere and real choice,The pundits, media and the DNC I believe underestimated his potential to win.

Indeed. And they were concerned that time was running out to stop him, so though Biden was thought to be finished, when African-Americans voted for him in South Carolina, they saw this as the tool they needed, and that's why we have Biden.

Yeah, remember all the Trump rape accusations that he used extra large font to bellow about? Because he's fair and balanced?

But I thought all women were liars? It was decided in 2016 that women don't matter and rape is a-okay as long as the man denies it.


https://www.businessinsider.com/wome...t-list-2017-12

"Every woman lied when they came forward to hurt my campaign," the Republican nominee said during a 2016 rally. "Total fabrication. The events never happened. Never. All of these liars will be sued after the election is over."


LOOK IT'S THE BATTLE OF THE RAPISTS!!! HE WHO RAPED THE FEWEST WOMEN WINS!!!!!!!!

There was no substance to the post; it was merely a link to an article with no input from the poster. I debate posters who actually take the time to express a reasoned opinion.

'They' - DNC? So the DNC caused Biden to win, not the primary voters who voted overwhelmingly for him? How can you spin this into a conspiracy by the DNC against Sanders or for Biden, when the voters clearly voted?

Sadly, that last sentence is being proven on a daily basis.

Biden 48.4%, Sanders 19.9%.

This was at a point when there were many other candidates in the race. I don't see how you can spin that other than it was an overwhelming victory for Biden.

Default Re: 2020 Election

Just seems odd with a clean slate that Biden would or will be the one. Why do the Dems want to go there?
