Democratic Primaries
Showing Original Post only (View all)Biden is not only a strong primary candidate -- he's the anti-Trump spokesman we need. [View all]
He has the national and international stature, after being a highly regarded vice president for 8 years after many years in the Senate, to stand up to Trump, and to have his criticism of Trump taken seriously, here and abroad.
I believe this is one reason Trump is reportedly most worried about him -- besides the fact that Biden's leading in most of the polls.
His campaign will give Biden a platform to tell the American people what he thinks of Trump, and why, on a daily basis.
I'm looking forward to it.
I don't think Trump is...and that might help explain his hysterical over-tweeting as Biden gets closer to launching his campaign.
If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

OP
No, he's the only one who publicly fantasized that he'd beat Trump in a fistfight.

If Joe does nothing else, his ability to punch Trump and leave a mark will be invaluable to us all.

That's what Sanders supporters would like it to be about. But they're a small fraction of the party
