Democratic Primaries
In reply to the discussion: Biden raised $6.3 Million in first 24 hours average was $41! [View all]calimary
(85,153 posts)34. Yeah, I'm thinking about that, too.
Joe Bidens likeables are probably higher than anybody elses.
Lots of our candidates are appealing and congenial and easy to like. But theres this intangible about Biden that looks to be pretty doggone ferocious. Theres a lot of the Everyman thing about him.
Theres a strong sense of The Common Man about him.
Theres an air of approachability and genuine warmth about him - like the fun uncle or jolly grandpa you actually looked forward to seeing every Thanksgiving and Christmas.
And authenticity. This is a guy who is not known for lying. Occasional buffoonery but very mild compared to what weve come to expect from our so-called Lyin King whos currently contaminating our White House.

primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

The problem with accepting big money is the same regardless. You can't serve 2 masters.

Huh, $200 is not what I'd call big money. And I got it wrong it was 97% was under $200

The "under $200" is not what I have a problem with. The rich, who control the government
