5. Look for an enlivened Joe Biden
Fri Feb 7, 2020, 08:57 PM
Feb 2020

tonight. Bernie will be guns blazing after Pete, as new Hampshire begins to slip away, so Biden has an opening to go hard after trump tonight. If he's listless again, the narrative coming out of here won't be pretty.

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

I kind of like that they're ignoring Steyer and Yang, who really should've dropped out by now scheming daemons Feb 2020 #97
Yang will probably drop out after New Hampshire. StevieM Feb 2020 #109

Pete just said they'll force Trump to stand on a debate stage next to a Dem. That isn't at all highplainsdem Feb 2020 #123
That's right. No way to know. JudyM Feb 2020 #132
Sanders was mathematically eliminated when he proposed a debate with Trump Otto Lidenbrock Feb 2020 #145
