(7,947 posts)Come on. Getting a little roughed up is necessary-- that's one of the purposes of a primary election. Toughens the candidate up. After all, TRUMP is coming up in the general election. And he's going to say things that aren't true, are deeply slanderous, and deeply personal... we know that. He's going to go after the candidate's spouse and children, make up lies about them, threaten them.
Obama was a better candidate in the general because he and Ms. Clinton had so many knockdown dragout fights.... and he didn't hold a grudge.
Biden's tough. He will need to be if he gets the nomination. Every single one of the candidates has to figure out to take criticism and challenges, and deal with it effectively. I don't know what that would look like, but I know Joe can do it. He's done it before.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
