Liberals attack Biden, seeking to blunt his momentum
The Hill ^ | 05/07/19 | Amie Parnes

Progressives are taking shots at Joe Biden, seeking to blunt the former vice president’s rise in polls by arguing he is too conservative to be the party's presidential nominee.

The criticism has come from rivals to Biden on the campaign trail as well as liberal groups seeking to put a dent into his poll numbers.

They are casting Biden as an establishment figure out of touch with the grass roots of his party, highlighting his work on a Clinton-era crime bill and the Iraq War, among other issues.

The criticism suggests some angst on the part of progressives, who fear Biden might beat out candidates such as Sens. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), who have more liberal voting records than the former vice president.

The latest Hill-HarrisX poll released on Monday found Biden winning 46 percent support and holding a 32-point lead nationally over Sanders, who won 14 percent.

Progressives also say they are worried that Biden will lose to Trump, even as the former vice president makes electability the centerpiece of his campaign.

They argue a dyed-in-the-wool progressive has the best chance of energizing voters against Trump, and that Biden could fall to the wayside just as Hillary Clinton did in 2016.

The AOC faction of the Dem Party is going to eat Joe alive.

Biden is a pinko. Anyone to the left of Biden is a full blown Red.

After Biden’s Margaret Thatcher gaffe-—he apologized and said he meant to say Anthony Eden called him.

When asked for his opinion on Boko Haram, Biden replied: "I always loved their recording of A Whiter Shade of Pale."

I know this is old, but according to my math, being in the bottom 2/3 or the top half would have a 17% overlap, so hisstanding could’ve gone down while he made it sound like it went up. Nice renewed effort there, Joe.

My take is-———it’s “The Anybody But Them Poll.”

Biden polls high b/c voters are repulsed by the rest of the slate.

... the GOP needs to grow a pair and simply air a minute long ad of photos of Joe Biden sniffing women’s hair and groping uncomfortable little girls.

But only do that AFTER he wins the nomination. Then put these on sale:

It appears that the DNC created a conspiracy to oust Joe Biden to place a younger candidate in line for the presidency. It is beginning to look like they have in mind to run Pete Buttigieg as their candidate.
