As Biden weathers Trump's criticism on Ukraine, supporters worry about possible impact
ABC News ^ | October 10, 2019 | John Verhovek

Joe Biden's efforts to fend off President Donald Trump's claims of the former vice president's inappropriate behavior and his son Hunter’s Ukrainian business dealings during the Obama White House threaten to undercut his campaigns's central argument that he is the sole Democrat who can oust Trump from the Oval Office and restore a sense of normalcy to a country deeply bruised by partisan divisions.

Amid a tightening primary contest, his campaign has found itself rebutting the president’s attacks, while simultaneously staying on message to keep the persistent candidacies of his two main rivals for the Democratic presidential nomination, Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, at bay.

The war of words that reached a new level of intensity on Wednesday during a campaign speech in Rochester, New Hampshire when Biden said firmly that he believes Trump should be impeached.

Didn't we just find out he was lobbying for Ukraine while still vice president? Why hasn't he dropped out yet?

He has dropped, Warren is now leading in almost all the polls.
But I think the polls aren’t showing the true impact.
They probably aren’t willing to acknowledge that big of impact so they are smoothing the downtrend to see if it continues.
And there are a couple of polls that show no drop, and I think they are biased towards Biden.

“he is the sole Democrat who can oust Trump from the Oval Office and restore a sense of normalcy to a country deeply bruised by partisan divisions.”

Because he will restore that sense of normalcy by having Kamala as Attorney General do mass gun confiscations and continue more Democrat corruption both inside and outside the country, eh?

Biden is TOAST. Completely damaged goods. UN-electable.

Sanders, will drop out due to “Health Reasons”

That leaves. Warren, who is completely bat crap crazy, is the front runner. Is she electable? Possibly. But, once all of the OTHER Warren stuff stars coming up, she will likely be unappealing to most.

But, are they just setting the stage for a Hillary or Moochelle Obama, even Pelosi.. to ride in to save the Dems?

I think so

If Warren is electable, and is elected...stick fork in the USA...

“Amid a tightening primary contest...”

That’s sure being GENEROUS. It’s OVER...he had his chance, and decided that enriching his kid (and of course himself, indirectly, at least), was a better investment than trying (and losing) another presidential run.

That’s fine...it was fun watching him grow old, but game over, time for new blood.

MSM has figured out unless someone else jumps in they have to protect Joe. The guy bragged about doing something and they are screaming has not done it. Despite an actual recording of him bragging about it. I wonder what the percentage of voters have actually heard it is

Biden hasn’t “weathered” anything yet. President Trump hasn’t even gotten started pointing in the direction of all the #BidenCorruptionFamily deeds.

Shoot, Rudy Giuliani is liming up the hits. Apparently, Romania makes the list.

Biden falls behind Pocahontas. It’s a continuing downslide. You can capture it in snapshots but it’s not over.

Of course all the corruption stories are having an impact, that’s why Biden is now falling behind Warren, Democrat voters can see what’s going on and know Biden has serious issues.

Problem is, Biden is the only candidate who has cred in the Black community, because of all his years supporting Obama. Warren, sanders and Hillary all reek of honkiness, and Dems absolutely need a big turnout of AA’s if they’re going to win.

So if Biden drops out, someone with Black cred will be required - like Michelle, and NOT Hillary, Warren, or Sanders

Mixed metaphor alert on that headline. The media’s self-righteousness would carry a tad more weight if their editors weren’t illiterate.

John Verhovek is the enemy’s stooge. He titles the piece with a lie so what could get said after that? Biden is a leader in the criminal enterprise demon rat party. He is under investigation.

“..supporters worry about possible impact.”

Possible? Yeah. I’d say it’s possible. I know we’re going to see some hilarious quotes to come but this is a pretty good start.

He’s only weathering for a while, while the media holds an umbrella over him. Once the tidal wave comes he and the media get crushed.

Warren is left standing, Hilary will attempt to run her over but will fail.
