In reply to the discussion: Per Chris Matthews: Biden's team says Harris is doing "exactly what Trump wants." [View all]Celerity
(43,333 posts)Biden made another error by saying the NRA 'is not an enemy' and trying to parse out and separate them (the NRA) from the gun manufactures. The NRA IS a fucking enemy at multiple levels, including being a Russian money laundering political slush fund for the Rethugs.
Biden is far from a sure thing, and far from the best to put up against Rump in a debate. One on one, Harris would tear circa 2019-20 Biden apart in 9 out 10 debates. She is a relentless and hyper-intelligent politician with great charisma and is also a superbly-skilled prosecutor starting to enter the peak of her intellectual and political powers. Biden is starting to manifest the effects of getting closer to 80 years of age (Biden would be in his 80's for over 75% of his two terms, from 2022 to 2029.) He is no longer remotely close to the peak of his powers, as was on display at both the Poor Peoples Campaign appearance well as the debate tonight.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
