We need to do well in the Rustbelt States.. Ohio, Michigan, Penn. Indiana, at least 3 out of four.. The middle class salt of the earth...Hard working people, who don't have a lot of time to sit and watch a lot of coverage of the election.

And we took a real beating in the Appalachian States as well.

Joe Biden is the only candidate that I figure can appeal to the above States.
JoeBiden is not the brightest of the candidates and will make some mistakes.. But Joe represents the salt of the earth... A tough guy, but carries a lot of compassion.

Yea I think Harris, Warren and Buttichieg are a smart, cool, bunch.. But IMO Joe can capture more states than anyone of them... This is the only thing which counts.Go get em Joe!

1. I agree, but he has GOT to kick it up a notch or two. Last night he did not do well.

If his performance in the next debate equals last night, i'm afraid a slide will begin.

[SunSeeker]

5. MSBNC reported last night that Biden staffers were complaining before that Biden was not preparing.

I'm guessing he will be more prepared next time.

[woodsprite]

6. He seemed to be worried about time.

He stopped talking on a dime most of the time compared to the other candidates. It didn’t seem like Joe being Joe. It seemed like an over-coached, restrained Joe. Just my opinion, and I have grown up with him being Delaware’s own, so have seen him at his best and worst.

[oldsoftie]

25. Yes; it was almost like he was glad to see his time expire; while everyone else talked until stopped

And it was very noticeable.

[emmaverybo]

27. I felt he was on a leash. Stiff. As you say preoccupied by script and staying on message. An area

he does show real smarts in that will be hard to rival is his grasp of geo-political situation globally
and foreign affairs and policy.

[woodsprite]

32. That's exactly what I meant. Not that he was glad his time was up. nt

[busterbrown]

15. On the other hand...

He can only get better... and he will... and that might even part of his strategy. Stay low early.. When the parade begins to rid the no hope candidates.. Then we'll hear from Joe in the manner which is real Joe..

[oldsoftie]

24. I like that point of view

[emmaverybo]

28. I'll take it. NT

[wasupaloopa]

2. Did anyone bother to ask the rust belt dwellers if

Harris or Warren or Mayor Pete could win their vote.

So many DU experts speak for the rustbeltites

[empedocles]

3. Dems need to appeal to the 80% of the voting population.

The bigger the margin, the more effective, 2021 could possibly be.

[Bettie]

8. So, only an older white man

can possibly win....that is what you are saying when you say "appeal to 80% of the voting population" isn't it?

[busterbrown]

17. Elderly Son of a Bitch Warrior

if he has to be

[emmaverybo]

29. My gosh, you definitely are a competitive debater. If Biden had you writing his stuff...win & win. N

[MarcA]

19. It's the same tired self-fulfilling prophecy they've been pushing

since day one.

[oldsoftie]

26. An older white man didnt win in 08 or 12, so no, thats not the point.

[gldstwmn]

34. I guess that explains the NRA comment?

[Act_of_Reparation]

9. Nope.

They didn't even campaign here back in 2016.

[busterbrown]

14. Just Ask Hillary Clinton.. N/T

[busterbrown]

18. It's about his experience As V.P.

but more importantly it's his toughness.. Not to mention his V.P. experience..

Listen I love Harris, and Warren... But I just don't think they can beat Trump.

[Andy823]

21. Harris did a pretty good job

Of proving she has what it takes last night. It's getting really old saying that only "one" candidate has a chance at beating trump, that's just BS.

[emmaverybo]

30. Proved she could take down an old school white liberal male in a staged surprise attack

by confronting him with her pain and saying he had hurt her and thousands of “little girls” like her.

Trump has no empathy, no chivalry, and would have mugged the whole time or interrupted her
with nasty nicknames.

[calguy]

4. Joe's the man

I think some of the more progressive ideas the other folks are putting out there, like "Green New Deal" and "Reparations" are big non starters in the general election. They may play well with a lot of liberal thinkers, but in the general they are toxic.
Joe is the one who can appeal to the largest group of voters hands down.
The reparations talk I heard last night just made me cringe in my seat. The R's will take that kind of talk and demonize it for all it's worth. I believe a vast majority of voters will be turned off by such a position. A losing proposition.

[Thekaspervote]

7. Indeed!!

[busterbrown]

20. Yep. It's all about the ...

.. Don't forget Nanny State Bullshit.. Lovers of illegals who murder and rape.. Losing your Doctor, etc. Joe can handle this bullshit easily... But if all things were equal.. I love Warren and Harris a bit less of my love to her

[busterbrown]

22. Yep.. If anyone of my favorites after Joe

We will be hearing slime and bullshit phrases like "Nanny States," "Liberals and Dems protect murderers who rape and plunder".. "Raising Taxes through the roof.". "and of course losing the your Md' I also agree that Reparations is a dangerous cliff. Although I do support the concept..

[emmaverybo]

31. +1000. The price tag involved in the ultra-liberal wish list will be all they have to write...NT

[CentralMass]

10. Sanders and Biden both poll ahead of tRump in these states.

[Hoyt]

11. Come March, if that is still true, I'll vote for him in my primary.

[Funtatlaguy]

12. Are the Appellation States in the Jurisdictional Mountain Ranges?

🤭
Spellcheck, I know...lol.

[busterbrown]

23. Cross between Appeals, Horse, and an Apple

Look it up next time!!

[onetexan]

13. u got it, Joe's the guy who can rid us of this horrid stain on the world

Go Joe!!

[Martin Eden]

16. Appellation States ?

Do you mean Appalachian?

[gldstwmn]

33. President Obama won the Rust Belt.
