32. The question was "Who..... today".

I trust Joe Biden and believe he is not quite as "attackable" as the other Dem candidates, though I am conscious that there are areas where others can attack him.

We all know that attacks on HRC will be non-stop and vicious not only throughout her campaign, but throughout her Presidency, if she wins. It will be at least as bad as those against Pres. Obama and very difficult to accomplish the needs of the country.

While I have tremendous respect and admiration for Sen. Sanders and the way he is conducting his campaign and the ideas he has offered, the 'Socialist' tag will be hung around his neck by the Republicans and their superpacs, and the drumbeat of everything that goes with that tag will make it very difficult to overcome.

The other candidates - O'Malley, Chaffee, Webb- have not and will not catch on adequately with the Dem electorate.

And that is my opinion today - 9/29/15 .

You mean like she's currently not breaking 50% against Trump while Sanders and Biden are? Chan790 Sep 2015 #39

Biden is not electable to the massive numbers of people who will view him as part of the status quo sabrina 1 Sep 2015 #44
