move to someone else. We want to beat trump. Biden/Harris would be a winning ticket.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
How humiliating. This is very bad news... for Bernie. NurseJackie May 2019 #1
If that is the argument for dropping out then everyone but Biden should drop out. former9thward May 2019 #4
Not necessarily. NurseJackie May 2019 #10
Possibility of choice for VP is not the only reason to stay in the race. thesquanderer May 2019 #46
And for book deals, a more impressive CV to get higher speaking fees... I know. NurseJackie May 2019 #47
The person I favor DownriverDem May 2019 #22
Not at all. Most of the others will be vying for VP spot. Bernie will never be Biden's VP choice. honest.abe May 2019 #29
But BS has Nina Turner LibFarmer May 2019 #6
Honestly, I think Nina Turner drags him down. She's a reminder of the past... NurseJackie May 2019 #15
I believe that they are not that much into BS... Skya Rhen May 2019 #8

Biden is going to win SC. The competition will be for second place. thesquanderer May 2019 #12
He has to get 15% first nt NYMinute May 2019 #17
True. So if it were today, Biden and Sanders are the only ones... thesquanderer May 2019 #21
Only care DownriverDem May 2019 #23
In some states, Biden may be the second place guy. (n/t) thesquanderer May 2019 #28

Regardless what the polls say, we need a candidate who can win some red states, and there are some still_one May 2019 #2
There's a FL poll from a couple of days ago. Biden 39%. Sanders 16%. Honeycombe8 May 2019 #3
Thanks. Of course anything can happen, and it is still quite early, but I still hold by my original still_one May 2019 #5
We may need either OH or FL, just to keep the Repub from winning it. Honeycombe8 May 2019 #31
I agree still_one May 2019 #37
We don't need red states, we need MI/WI/PA (or OH/FL) n/t thesquanderer May 2019 #7
I would consider Florida, Ohio, and Wisconsin red states today. I guess we could debate red and still_one May 2019 #9
Come on DownriverDem May 2019 #24
Michigan is not a red state. Not all flyovers are red. I don't see your point. (n/t) thesquanderer May 2019 #27
Biden is ready to kick Trump's ass! IluvPitties May 2019 #11
The reason is simple. Very, very many voters have one singular goal: MineralMan May 2019 #13
I would agree with most of that. Honeycombe8 May 2019 #33
The numbers, only 5% undecided: George II May 2019 #14
Question for everyone patphil May 2019 #16
That argument would hold water NYMinute May 2019 #18
I see simply analysis and speculative discussion... no one is getting worked up. LanternWaste May 2019 #25
We won't DownriverDem May 2019 #26
It's not just that he's ahead. It's the size of his lead that's important. Historical, even? Honeycombe8 May 2019 #34
Great angrychair May 2019 #19
But it greatly increases his chance to be the Democratic nominee for the General... Skya Rhen May 2019 #20
You make a good point. But he's leading in the other states, too. Honeycombe8 May 2019 #35
In this case Its familiarity angrychair May 2019 #40
No, he is definitely not center right on issues. He has a liberal score on environmental issues. Honeycombe8 May 2019 #41
It's the standard answers that worry me angrychair May 2019 #42
Yes, I forgot about clean coal. Honeycombe8 May 2019 #43
Well hopefully a candidate will speak to you angrychair May 2019 #44
BOL to yu, too. Honeycombe8 May 2019 #45
I dont see how anyone can close that gap. honest.abe May 2019 #30
Every poll where Sanders isn't on top or near the top is a bad poll for him FrankBooth May 2019 #38
+1. Honeycombe8 May 2019 #39
I doubt Sanders will beat Harris in SC obamanut2012 May 2019 #48
