(5,376 posts)I like Biden's policies the most, and I think he'll be the strongest against Trump. I just hope that the Bernie supporters who were crying "Unity!" just a few days ago won't suddenly change their tune if the momentum swings back towards Biden.

I love Pete. He is the smartest guy in the room, ANY room. I hope a Biden administration has a prominent spot for him. He is the future.

(111,315 posts)Of course Biden is going to take SC, they didn't have to bother asking, he was always a shoo-in there.
He's certainly ready to do the job, he was basically a co president with Obama. He's got some really bad baggage, but it's not the type the Republicans can complain about, it's bankster baggage.
Everyone on that stage has pluses and minuses and they are all so much better than Deranged Kumquat.

friend of m and j
(220 posts)I don't know if it was a moderator or klobuchar that complimented Joe because he wasn't interrupting his rivals, talking over his rivals, engaging in food fights with them, and he played by the rules of the debate. That may have been the most profound statement made during the debate.
But that is just who Joe Biden is. If you watch Joe when the debate ends he doesn't go the side of the stage and shake hands with the other candidates where they are all gathered gloating how much they beat up Bernie or Blomberg; he leaves the stage and goes into the crowd and visits with them, taking selfies, and proves he is one of them. A man of the people.
He was the number one in all the polls and ranked as the most likeable politician in the country for a year before he made the decision to run for President That was because he is a person of good moral character, great integrity and honesty, and is referred to as"Uncle Joe" by families across the country.
The political pundits talked about how good and strong a field of candidates the Dems fielded this year. Joe has even commented and complimented on the great the candidates are running as Dem for the Presidency.
But Joe's main goal in running is to get Trump out of the WH before he completely destroys our country. Many people believe any of the remaining candidates and some of those who have dropped out of the race would be a good President But Biden thinks he is the only one who can beat Trump (I agree).
The biggest problem right now is the history of the Democratic Party of shooting itself in the foot and losing elections they should have won. All the infighting between all the factions of the party have split the party to such an extent that will happen again if they do not unite.
Joe can re-unite the party by praising his rivals instead of the typical tactic of knocking them down and please a lot of non politicians (ordinary people) by issuing a short statement that would say;
"A President can not run a country by himself. I want the best and brightest by my side to help me. I may not be as intelligent as some of those still in the race and even some who had to drop out, but I am not stupid. There is a pool of talent right in front of me.
If I win the nomination for President of the United States I will ask those currently running and some who dropped out to be part of my administration. Cabinet positions, advisors, Chief of staff, and other senior positions. They all have good ideas that I will listen to and we will as a team discuss and I will make decisions based on their input.
I know there will be some that will not accept my invitation, but I think many love this country as much as I do and will be proud to be part of an administration that puts this country back on its feet and a down a path to move our country forward and solve all those issues we talked about in the debates. A country we could be proud of again.
I think I can help them by mentoring them (based on my 4+ years in the Senate and VP for Obama) in the intricacies of running a government and leading a country. Might benefit them in their future political ambitions. "
That kind of a statement should do a lot to unify the Party. A statement like that might even help in the primaries.
