Why is the right so terrified of Joe Biden.. its pretty simple..

VP Joe Biden can upend their plans to keep the Executive Branch through the electoral college..Joe Biden, can reach deep into the numbers they were able to pull in Ohio, Pa, Wisc. etc.. and bring back the numbers that will knee cap them..

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden

I like Mayor Pete also.. He is as smart as a whip.. Peacetrain Apr 2019 #8
It's not just the right. There are lots of others who are terrified of Biden..... George II Apr 2019 #11
He won't be the "overwhelming" front runner. He's neck n neck with Sanders now onit2day Apr 2019 #17
Being ahead by 8-10% even before he announces, how is that "neck n neck"? George II Apr 2019 #18
Exactly right. Biden has "regular guy" appeal. NoMoreRepugs Apr 2019 #12

In the 2015, the left was not afraid of Trump, we were hoping it would be him. What makes you think the right is any better at picking their nemesis than we are?

and I still think I was right.. He would have been the best choice.. so I am sticking with Biden..and I was terrified of Trump from the time he came to the Iowa State Fair and started giving kids rides in his plane.. no kidding.. I knew then he was appealing to people on a completely different level..

But don't look at who the other side is afraid of, it can cloud your judgement.

I really want someone younger. I think we need to pick someone who isn't in their 70s. We need a moderate westerner or a midwesterner, I think. Pete Buttigieg is intelligent and says the right things, but his experience in government is on the local level. I didn't like Amy Klobuchar when she first got into the race, but I'm taking another look at her. She seems steady and boy, do we need someone who's steady. I wish there was a deadline so that everyone who is going to run would go ahead and get in the race. It would make it easier to decide who to support.

He just needs a little more seasoning on the international stage.. Amy Klobuchar is very good.. and yes I understand about age, because Trump has done so much damage, we will not have an established government In Bidens case age and experience really does work to our advantage.

When he declares though, he'll be the overwhelming front runner, to the dismay of many!

We're very lucky to have some of the best people asking us to hear them out. I think Biden, Warren, Sanders et al can take this clown down. No doubt. I'm ready.
