what this is...so what lie are you referring to? I have made no statement against Pres. Obama whom I like and admire greatly.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden

Michigan has some strong Trump supporters...if we run a really Demsrule86 Aug 2019 #4
HRC had a record that was only slightly to the left of Biden and she was more hawkish karynnj Aug 2019 #20
You are comparing apples too oranges...this was not a right left thing. Demsrule86 Aug 2019 #43
Obama and Kerry both won those three states karynnj Aug 2019 #90
Michigan is not going to vote for Trump... SidDithers Aug 2019 #26
He's permanently lost at LEAST 5% of his 2016 voters in Michigan. blm Aug 2019 #28

It could also happen if we run Biden. ZZenith Aug 2019 #130

We don't have to take back the blue wall states TexasTowelie Aug 2019 #2
Beto didn't win Texas ub 2018... brooklynite Aug 2019 #3
And Biden hasn't won the blue wall states ever. TexasTowelie Aug 2019 #7
Democrats won MI, WI and PA in 2018. Democrats didn't win TX in 2018. brooklynite Aug 2019 #14
So if Democrats won MI, WI, and PA in 2018 without Biden on the ticket, TexasTowelie Aug 2019 #23
Those were not statewide races...we won in Texas too but not statewide with Beto. Demsrule86 Aug 2019 #78
You need to start with house seats and the legislature...and a Senate seat...before we won Virginia, Demsrule86 Aug 2019 #148
Are you seriously saying winning Texas is easier than winning PA, MI and WI??? karynnj Aug 2019 #24
You are relying heavily on Joe riding Obama's coattails. TexasTowelie Aug 2019 #40
Joe helped Obama win the Mid west in 08 and 12. Demsrule86 Aug 2019 #79
Mmm, a number of polls have shown one candidate ahead of Trump in Texas Rstrstx Aug 2019 #103
Yes he has. He won them for Obama...saw him to do it twice. Demsrule86 Aug 2019 #47
No, people don't usually vote for the second spot on the presidential ticket. TexasTowelie Aug 2019 #97
Biden was sent to Ohio for exactly that...and Biden is well liked in Ohio... Demsrule86 Aug 2019 #127
Your OP stated "show me how we win without the blue wall states." TexasTowelie Aug 2019 #133

I used to sneak into the Yale Library...it was better than ours... Demsrule86 Aug 2019 #132
Also you post shows why we need the blue wall...even with Texas we barely win. Demsrule86 Aug 2019 #6
No, what it means is that we would only need one out of the three blue wall states TexasTowelie Aug 2019 #9

Joe Biden leads race for campaign donors in Delaware, but not Philadelphia PADemD Aug 2019 #118
Joe will take PA and money isn't votes...he has the best chance by far. Demsrule86 Aug 2019 #145
Actually, individual donations are votes. PADemD Aug 2019 #153
Not even close to votes...Polls show Biden takes PA...not many out there but I am confident Biden Demsrule86 Aug 2019 #154
Actually that was based on a bait and switch article...they used numbers before Biden got in for Demsrule86 Aug 2019 #164
That is not true...we could end up with a tie if one of them wasn't WI. Demsrule86 Aug 2019 #48
Sure and we could get Georgia, Arizona or Carolina... but the odds are not good...we Demsrule86 Aug 2019 #147
TX in 2020 is unlikely, Beto or otherwise. TwilightZone Aug 2019 #12

Policies are nothing if we can't win. I do not believe Sanders can win as Demsrule86 Aug 2019 #50
Any of them CAN win those states, though some have better chances than others. thesquanderer Aug 2019 #10
Well I can't change it now...but you are right...so put it in Demsrule86 Aug 2019 #51
Polls show others beating Biden in these states as well. thesquanderer Aug 2019 #59
Sander is the only one over 50 % besides Biden...but there are few state polls these Demsrule86 Aug 2019 #62
which you base on nothing qazplm135 Aug 2019 #77
One does not have to get over 50% to win. thesquanderer Aug 2019 #96
True that. Demsrule86 Aug 2019 #100
We need to win big to circumvent the usual cheating by the Gop and not all of them can win...I stil Demsrule86 Aug 2019 #165
Bill Clinton carried Arizona in 1996 amb123 Aug 2019 #11

No it is not...24 years since it went blue and before that didn't go blue either... Demsrule86 Aug 2019 #63
Unlikely...we will be lucky to take the Senate seat...hope we do. But even if what you say is true.. Demsrule86 Aug 2019 #149
A different world back then..he also carried Arkansas and Tennessee. I see Demsrule86 Aug 2019 #52

That is true...having him as nominee would help with the Senate seat also. Demsrule86 Aug 2019 #135
I disagree that only a moderate can win MI, WI, and PA. yardwork Aug 2019 #13
Hillary Clinton boosted turnout in the Democratic cities... brooklynite Aug 2019 #15
