It is too early still but I am getting ready to jump onto the Biden bandwagon

[Cary]

I hope you all are too, when the time comes. We have a Nazi in the White House.

VOTE DEMOCRATIC.

[brutus smith]

1. Personally, Joe has to much baggage

Our candidate in 2016 had a lot of baggage that cost us a lot of votes. I know that some people on here won't like that assessment but it's true.

[honest.abe]

6. What "baggage" specifically are you referring to regarding Biden?

[Cary]

13. Good question

I hate bumper sticker slogans.

[brutus smith]

15. If you think the Hunter Biden thing is going away, you're sadly mistaken.

Repubs will run that 24/7. Doesn't matter if it's false and been debunked. Truth and republican can't be in the same sentence.

[BannonsLiver]

22. What's cute is you think they won't try the same thing on your candidate

[Cha]

25. Right and, I think that many know

they wouldn't let anyone slide without vicious attacks.

Biden just got it first because obviously he's been leading.. if someone else breaks out.. we'd see the same avalanche of attacks.

The rw powder is definitely dry for the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th place candidates.. so far.

[redstatebluegirl]

26. You bet, and I love Elizabeth, but if it is she or Bernie, we lose.

[honest.abe]

29. And they will do the same to Warren, Sanders, Buttigieg.. whomever wins the Dem nom.

Our candidate needs to fight against those things and have enough integrity that the majority believe him or her. Biden has that integrity earned over his decades of honorable public service.

[Cary]

32. Republicans will lie and smear anyone, as long as they get away with it

If we vote then they never get away with it. If we reject them and their lies and make them pay a high price, we win.

[Cary]

9. You feel that you have the luxury of being able to afford that indulgence?

We have a Nazi in the White House. Not one of us has any excuse. I have seen every one of them barfed up here and those indulgences helped pit the Nazi into the White House.

[earthside]

18. An electoral disaster waiting to happen.

If Biden is the presumptive or actual nominee ... if he so much as gets a bad cold he'll lose the election.
Voters are not going to pick a president based on who is the vice presidential nominee and likely mid-term successor.

(I feel the same way about Bernie, too.)

[Demsrule86]

28. Nasty crack...but when one's candidate is not winning...it is difficult...so I get it.

[nini]

35. LOL

Being a former republican isn't one of them though.

[Lexblues]

36. Liz has her own baggage with the Native American thing

If you think you've heard the last of that, then you're fooled.

[nolabear]

37. And the socialism thing. Facts don't matter. They'll use it to smear and scare.

I like her. But we need stability before we can move in any direction. Everyone is ripe for it but I think only Joe can lose this for himself. If he stays strong and fights a clean but aggressive fight I think he can get voters who wouldn’t otherwise vote to come out. And we need them. Badly.

2. When the debates get down to only 4 people everything will clarify

December will have 6 which means it will still be blurry

[MontanaFarmer]

3. Joe has always been like a big safety blanket for me in this process.

There are others I've liked better (Harris), those I've heard out (mayor Pete, Michael bennet, my own governor) and my final choice, Amy Klobuchar. I have the deepest regard for Joe, however, and if he's to be our nominee I'll be glad to support him financially and with my volunteer hours. He's a man of character who cares about people, as are all our candidates (except maybe tulsi). So yes, I'll be on that bandwagon if/ when the time comes.

[TidalWave46]

4. I made the choice in the last week.

Wasn't easy.

[honest.abe]

7. I jumped when Kamala dropped out.

Joe is our best bet to win back the WH. That is basically all I care about at the moment.

[Cary]

11. I throw all of my vitriol and venom at Orange Hitler

I have nothing left for any one of our Democratic candidates.

[aikoaiko]

8. I'm still stuck focusing on the negatives of Biden, Warren, and Sanders

They each have their significant strengths, but I've been waiting and hoping for them to pivot on certain issues.

But the truth is they are all pretty set in their ways.

[Cary]

10. The truth is that we have a Nazi in the White House

I cannot imagine what that Nazi will do with 4 more years.

[aikoaiko]

19. Yes, and I'll definitely vote for the Democratic nom in the GE

But I'm stuck with who to endorse or support for the primary.

Not that I matter, but I thought I'd post my current thoughts.

[Cary]

20. It is ok IMHO to be undecided right now

[Cha]

12. Welcome, Cary! biden is the Uniter who we need, imo!

We've had enough divisiveness.

Civil Rights Leader Dr.Robert Green who worked closely with Dr. Martin Luther King for many years endorses @JoeBiden for President

“Joe Biden is a statesman, leader, and above all else, a unifier. I had the fortune to tell Joe all of this in person when he visited the west side of Las Vegas last month. More than 50 years ago, I personally witnessed his ability to bring together people of different races, cultures, and backgrounds in Newcastle County, Delaware. Today, that kind of leadership is needed to unify our country. Joe possesses exactly the type of leadership that this country needs now. He will heal and unify the soul of our nation. I am proud to stand with Joe and work hard to make sure he is the next President of the United States of America.”

Joe Biden gets major South Carolina endorsement from former Harris backers

Columbia, South Carolina – A prominent group of black women activists in South Carolina that backed Kamala Harris endorsed Joe Biden on Tuesday, further strengthening the former vice president's standing in the first-in-the-South primary state.

Known as "The Reckoning Crew," the group of three dozen women includes current and former elected officials, activists, and faith leaders and has played a critical role in grassroots organizing in the state. Biden's path to the nomination relies heavily on the South Carolina primary, which figures to play an outsized role in determining the party's presidential nominee because of its high percentage of African American voters.

"It's time for us to unite as one and put all of our energy behind the candidate who will not only beat Donald Trump but knows how to fix what he's broken on day one," said the group's founder, Bernice Scott, a former Richland County councilwoman. "And from there, we are confident Joe will continue to build on the history he made with Barack Obama."

14. Hey Cha!

I was never against Joe Biden. I just don't have any use for the food fight.

[Cha]

16. I know you weren't..

[Cary]

17. I am pretty sure it will be Biden

As I was pretty sure about Barack Obama and then Hillary Clinton They were outstanding candidates and Joe Biden will be as well.

[Cha]

21. yeah, like you say.. it's still early and

anything can happen.. especially if you're not sure.

I came to Biden by accident.. I didn't really know who I wanted at first.. but when the long knives came out even before he launched I stood up for him against the obvious hits. And, it kept happening so we were kept busy, and finally the more I learned about him the more I liked him for the job better than any of the others.

Plus I had the whole experience of him as President Obama's VP!

[Scurrilous]

23. ...

[lark]

24. I've been on it.

I just love Joe's heart so am planning on voting for him in the primary. I live in a later primary state, so expect the choices to have dwindled by then. If the nation falls for drumpf/PUtin lies about Ukraine and Biden (not very likely) and Joe drops out, who knows who will still be in the race? Right now, if Joe's out, I'd probably vote Liz, but could vote for Amy instead? I think that the nation hasn't bought russian repug poison lies about Biden, they probably won't.

[Gothmog]

27. I am involved with the Lawyers for Biden group

Joe was on the organizational call last week

[Cary]

31. Awesome!

Good work Goth.

[gibraltar72]

30. If it's the last train to leave the station.

[Peacetrain]

33. That is great!!!

Welcome aboard!!!
