and learns from his mistakes.

Biden is a coalition builder.

“It’s taken me, and I assume others, some time to figure out how to engage in a nondebate debate, because there’s no debate,” Biden said. He acknowledged his “mistake” in saying “my time is up” during a previous debate instead of talking over his allotted speaking time. “Turns out that’s a big mistake.”

And, that he doesn't say.. "I'm going to be the candidate." When anything can happen so no one can say that not even BS.

“By the way, that doesn’t mean it’ll stay that way,” he added. “You can go back and look: When Barack clobbered me in the campaign, you know, I had more black support in South Carolina than anybody, including him. I got blown out in Iowa and all of a sudden everything changed. Same thing could happen.”


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

My take on VP if Biden is nominee. Needs to be a strong personality; lots of charisma & knowledge oldsoftie Aug 2019 #22
I agree. VPs should always be considered that way, but Hortensis Aug 2019 #23
