Some elites have no compassion. 99% are of the Republican Party.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
I just can't pile on Biden. Sorry. [View all] Funtatlaguy Jun 2019 OP
Agree. He doesn't want to do this. Doesn't have to do this. Dream Girl Jun 2019 #1
The sad part is knowing his gaffes are not at all meant to be malicious in any way hlthe2b Jun 2019 #2
my eye is on the prize as well. Exactly why biden is not the answer. also my life Kurt V. Jun 2019 #3
callous.... hlthe2b Jun 2019 #5
Hardly. if you only knew. Everyone suffers , some more than others. maybe you as well Kurt V. Jun 2019 #8
I have. Which is why I can empathize so much with Biden and admire his ability to rise beyond, to hlthe2b Jun 2019 #11
we do too. me and you. who is admiring us? this elitist worship has got to stop. Kurt V. Jun 2019 #16
I said I ADMIRE him for all he has accomplished despite his personal tragedies. NOT WORSHIP hlthe2b Jun 2019 #19
my entire approach to all life is compassion. Surely you know this isn't true among elites Kurt V. Jun 2019 #22
Are you saying Biden has no compassion? Turin_C3PO Jun 2019 #24
I'm saying elites like biden have a definition of compassion that doesn't jive with mine. who Kurt V. Jun 2019 #28
When you refer to elites are you referring to wealth? Because I think Warren is just as, or even... Tarheel_Dem Jun 2019 #38
And Biden is an Elite? Really? He has certainly done well for himself, but he's hardly hlthe2b Jun 2019 #26
he has and possibly will make decisions that you or i can't control the future of our country. Kurt V. Jun 2019 #34

There are different types of elites. progressoid Jun 2019 #112
Well, YOUR candidate would be considered an "elite", being a multi millionaire & all that. oldsoftie Jun 2019 #57
you misunderstood my terminology. Wealth isn't the sole qualifier Kurt V. Jun 2019 #137
Elitist worship? WTF? redstateblues Jun 2019 #63

Not taking advice Cha Jun 2019 #42
Enough, already! Are you high? maddiemom Jun 2019 #89
i was. Reading back, i was on quite a roll . some regrets , some victories Kurt V. Jun 2019 #135
Um, why is one class any more important than another? treestar Jun 2019 #74
They are not more qualified though some would make good presidents. He can't hurt any candidate emmaverybo Jun 2019 #12
other than the fundraisers money, i can't really disagree . Kurt V. Jun 2019 #20
Fair enough. I don't think Biden though has locked up all the big donors. emmaverybo Jun 2019 #31
Well Warren won't win the rustbelt without which we lose...don't kid yourself ...these attacks are Demsrule86 Jun 2019 #15
Evidence that Warren can't win the rust belt? Turin_C3PO Jun 2019 #21
She will not win the rustbelt...she is not well liked here...Trumps attacks have and will resonate. Demsrule86 Jun 2019 #27

Warren can win the primary but not the General redstateblues Jun 2019 #64

Who are these normal people? redstateblues Jun 2019 #65
I like Warren...although I don't agree with some of her stuff and think she has no chance to get it Demsrule86 Jun 2019 #95
'Normal People' are being polled in these polls. Best to keep in mind that DU is a bubble emulatorloo Jun 2019 #130
Really? Which polls? kcr Jun 2019 #71
Maybe this one showing Warren beats Trump by 7 points. marylandblue Jun 2019 #78
All of them. Demsrule86 Jun 2019 #94
I did, and they don't all show that, so no. marylandblue Jun 2019 #109
I have not seen a poll where he is not leading...the only one leading Trump in Texas in fact. Demsrule86 Jun 2019 #113

Charley Pierce writes for Esquire and you admit your accusations are sheer conjecture. hedda_foil Jun 2019 #61
Your refuting those are a bigger conjecture. n/t Vegas Roller Jun 2019 #62
I guess you don't understand the meaning of the word conjecture. That's a shame. hedda_foil Jun 2019 #67

from the pool of reporters at the event, I am not a news agency (obviously) so do not have access to Celerity Jun 2019 #99
Okay. So the question remains. ucrdem Jun 2019 #100
nothing significant in terms of how it became a story, all the major news sources simply ran Celerity Jun 2019 #102
So basically the trail ends at "pool report." ucrdem Jun 2019 #103
