Biden & all the candidates a theory

Trump above all hates Biden as seen in his tweets, Sanders a close second.

Both contemporary as being old and white.

They are the lightening rods. Sanders is all policy, Biden although just as seasoned with foreign policy cred, seems far more adept and effective taking on Trump at a personal level.

I think Biden will drop out, but not before laying waste to Trump personally and rhetorically. The media likes Biden, he will be able to give it back in kind and take the media and give it the red meat it wants.

As of right now I'm undecided, but I think the flooded Democratic field can be an advantage, if candidates work together and maneuver. Trump and his Nazi party will have way to many targets, they need to do a lot of damage before the candidates are chosen at the convention.

As long as he's healthy, and I admit age makes that a little more of an issue but apparently not much, he'll fight like crazy. In a way he has more of an investment. He knows the backstage, what people think and what they're willing to do. He could call any of hundreds of poplin our government and others and get their take on what they see as a way to repair this country. I guarantee you he wants to see it in his lifetime.

Joe ain't going anywhere.

On the democratic field, I think it's an advantave as we have so many good dems getting the democratic message out. In time the field will narrow, those with lower percentages will drop out. That's not Biden, so why else would he drop out?

This election will be pure and simple who can get voters out, last time proved, debates didnt matter to Trumps voters, rhetoric didn't mater to Trumps voters, rules didnt matter, morals didnt matter, being nice didnt matter.

If you are going to beat Trump, the candidate better be prepared to get in the gutter and get nasty.

This time it really really matters and etiquette won't matter because Trump and his shit cabals don't have any morals or etiquette.

Be prepared for the nasty fight on our hands.
