In reply to the discussion: I'm not the only one to see Biden as 'weak, fumbling' [View all]wysimdnwyg
(2,231 posts)Yes, he had to fend off attacks from the other nine candidates as well as the three moderators (not to mention the hecklers in the audience), but whoever our nominee is will need this trial by fire practice before heading into any debate against Trump. Let's not forget that while Clinton was a clearly superior candidate in almost every way, Trump's ability to not only withstand or deflect her criticism, but turn it around on Clinton (admittedly in most cases through lies and distortions) helped Trump if not "win" those debates, at least not giving the impression that he's the complete moron many think him to be. If Joe is as incapable of withstanding this criticism, I would hate to see how he fares against Trump.
(For the record, Harris was one of my "losers" last night, so please don't mistake my preference as clouding my vision. When it comes down to it, I don't much care whether the Dems nominate Harris, Biden, or a five year old fruitcake. I'll be voting for our nominee in the general, period.)
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
