Election 2020: Sanders' Adviser Writes Alarming Memo - Biden Could Lose in November
IB Times ^ | 5/16/20 | James Patterson

Posted on 05/16/2020 3:01:31 PM PDT by Libloather

Jeff Weaver, a top adviser to the presidential campaign of Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., which officially ended in April, has written a memo warning that the presumptive Democratic nominee, former vice president Joe Biden, might lose some votes from Sander’s supporters. He says they have become “unsupportive and unenthusiastic” about Biden’s candidacy.

Weaver wrote, “There is a real and urgent need to help Biden consolidate Sanders' supporters. If all of Sanders’ base turned out for Joe Biden in November, he could defeat Trump and take back the White House for Democrats. Here’s the problem: significant portions don’t currently plan to.” Sanders’ supporters include Latinos, working-class voters and young people.

Recent allegations of sexual misconduct by former aide Tara Reade in 1993 have not helped Biden’s image with some potential voters, namely female progressives.

Weaver goes on to say that those votes will be needed to defeat President Donald Trump in the upcoming election. “Treating Sanders supporters as throw-away votes will ultimately be at the expense of the party, down-ballot candidates, and our ability to enact real policy solutions for Americans. Despite best intentions, the Biden campaign and the [Democratic National Committee] are far behind on digital organizing, Latino outreach and progressive coalition building, all critical to reaching and winning over Sanders supporters.”

With PHOTO SHOP, and editing, they can put the words in Joe Bidens Mouth and get him to say anything these days in 2020. And with mail in votes. This might be a shoe in election for Joe Biden.

No, Sleepy Joe will not lose to Trump. My guess is that Biden will not be on the ballot

This is why Joe gave AOC a role in his campaign. MSM buried it but made sure Bernie’s crazy’s knew about it.

Maybe the Dems can nominate Sanders and have him pick Biden as his VP. Seems crazy, but it might be the one thing that could give Biden ..... never mind.

Biden appeals to the most important Democratic voting bloc:

Dead people.

If Biden does Win, the Republic is doomed.

At that point it’s every Man and Woman for themselves.
