How confident should the Joe Biden team be right now?
Think about all of the factors that contributed to Hillary Clinton’s defeat in 2016. She was a figure who had been around a long time, among the best-known names in the party establishment. As a senator, she worked closely with her home state’s financial industry, leaving some liberal grassroots concluding she was a corporatist who was far too comfortable with big business. Critics asked how someone who had spent the past few decades in the public sector could so quickly become a multimillionaire, and contended that her family foundation had engaged in shady deals with foreign governments and foreign businesses. Some people couldn’t believe she wanted to charge University of Missouri at Kansas City a whopping $275,000 to give a speech at a luncheon.
More progressive figures challenged her in the primary, and activists on the Left hit her hard for her punitive stances on crime in the 1990s, including describing young gang members as “super-predators.” She attempted to shore up her support among African Americans by emphasizing her close work with Barack Obama.
During the tough primary fight and into the general election fight, there were intermittent signs that Hillary Clinton was not at the top of her game – from claiming to being “dead broke” upon leaving the White House, to ham-handed comparisons to “your abuela,” to the “basket of deplorables” statement.

Are Democrats Sure Biden Is Different Enough from Hillary Clinton?
Both grab women no wonder they are confused however one thing for sure they both are crazy.
Our corrupt liberal colleges know how to shake the government money tree... just like Arabs, Africans, and Chinese. They all bought 'speeches' from the Clinton dealers.
Biden's a 'dealer' too... and like Hillary - I suspect NOT for the benefit of the American people.
When Drudge posts his well known Straw Poll on his site, The Drudge Report, this evening as the second Democrat 2020 POTUS debate concludes, please cast your votes, all of them, for failed, useless, hateful NYC Mayor, Bill De Blasio and help us destroy the entire Democrat Party...politically!!! Do it!!!
