I have always liked Biden, I think he is a good man, I think his service to the country has been good, or as good as his beliefs have taken him, but he is not the right person to help the country, he is not the right person to fight the republicans, he is friends with many of them, and no, he cannot negotiate with them either.
I could be wrong, it has happened many times, but I feel that we are making a mistake if Biden becomes the nominee, I urge all democrats to put their feelings on one side and take a look at the total picture with a very cold and hard view. As I said, I like Biden, I think he has done the best he can do, but he will not relieve the Obama years, he is not Obama, and he will be crashed by republicans.
We need someone who will intimidate the buffoon, and I never thought I would say this, but right now from his debate appearance I believe Bill de Blasio is that man. He has a very good record as Mayor of New York, not an easy city to work for in that capacity, and he will intimidate the buffoon. If not de Blasio then we need someone who wil not take any crap from the buffoon or any other creature form the republican party, but from what I have seen so far, de Blasio fulfills those requirements.
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
