In reply to the discussion: Biden Lands Endorsement From Atlanta Mayor Bottoms [View all]peggysue2
(10,828 posts)Joe Biden held his ground despite the knife fight. Kamala's attack was a way of punching up while proving she has the moxie to take on Trump. The approach was successful on one level; I fully expect her poll numbers to improve.
However, the line that 'I don't believe you're a racist but . . .' is built on a foundation of sand. It created a lot of noise but the truth is that Biden has a long career of fighting for minority rights and the dignity of the individual. Insisting Joe Biden go on an apology tour is a failed approach because voters already know who Biden is and what he cares about. Just this morning, we heard that the mayor of Atlanta came out and endorsed the man.
Yes, we need someone who knows how to turn the lights on on Day 1. And who can whoop Donald Trump in 2020.
Despite all the naysayers and talking heads, I'm convinced that's Joe Biden. Yesterday, today and tomorrow.

Btw, if we want to start nitpicking, we can talk about Kamala Harris' inability to decide whether she wants to abolish private insurance companies or not. She received pushback when she originally said this, backtracked, and then last night threw her arm up in approval. Can't have it both ways!
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
