Biden: 'We need to hear from Nevada and South Carolina' in Democratic primary
The Hill ^ | 02 11 2020 | Max Greenwood

Former Vice President Joe Biden brushed off lackluster early returns in the New Hampshire presidential primary on Tuesday, saying that it was time to look at more diverse states such as Nevada and South Carolina for guidance in the Democratic nominating contest.

“It is important that Iowa and Nevada have spoken, but, look, we need to hear from Nevada and South Carolina and Super Tuesday and beyond,” Biden told a crowd of supporters at a rally in Columbia, S.C.

Biden’s speech came as votes in New Hampshire’s Democratic primary were still being counted. He left the Granite State earlier on Tuesday to travel to South Carolina, the fourth state to vote in the presidential nominating contest and the first in which black voters make up a majority of the Democratic electorate.

Appearing alongside Rep. Cedric Richmond (D-La.), the former chairman of the Congressional Black Caucus, Biden noted that the vast majority of black voters — “99.9 percent,” he said — “have not yet had a chance to vote” in the primary race. For Latino voters, he said, that number was 99.8 percent.

“I’ve said many times: You can’t be the nominee, you can’t win the general election as a Democrat unless you have the overwhelming support of black and brown voters,” he said.

Biden is dead man walking. The only question is will Mike Bloomberg be able to buy the nomination (doubtful) or will the Democrats ultimately select a communist as their nominee. (likely). In fact believe that despite the enormous expenditure Bloomberg will never get traction and Sanders ( after the California and New Jersey primaries) will arrive in Milwaukee with enough delegates for a first ballot victory. Then in a frightening scenario the MSM, combined with the silicon social media giants will do all they can to elect this vile communist as President and destroy the American nation. Either Trump wins or its really over.

Some people don’t know when the show’s over. It’s over for Slow Mo Joe. Are the Democrats gonna try and push Hillary or Moochelle into the race now? I think they’ll take the loss this November, clear the decks of the old fossils like Hillary, Bernie and Joe, and start fresh in 2024 with a young and fresh Communist lineup for the 21st Century!

“Too often, your loyalty, your support, your commitment to this party have been taken for granted,” he said. “And I give you my word as a Biden, I never, ever, ever will.”

“My word as a Biden?”

Bidens are felons, crackheads, and criminals.

Like when one of your sons remained on the Payroll of a big bank, long after he stopped working there.

Then you, Joe, supported every Vote that benefitted the Banks.

His prospects look good. In 2008, he quit after coming in fifth in the Iowa Caucuses, and ended up as V P for 8 years.

Biden’s collapse makes impeachment look even more pathetic.... the idea that Trump was afraid of Biden and needed to dig up dirt on him was just a DNC narrative..... If anything, Trump just wanted to show how corrupt the Obama administration was..... On the other hand, you have to give Obama credit for choosing Biden as his VP....at least if you think the job of a VP is to be the equivalent of Ed McMahon or Bob Eucker

Shampeachment killed Biden. We were supposed to believe House Democrats ‘ tale he was such a threat to Trump that Trump had to take him out through political dirty tricks.

In reality, Democrats themselves vamoosed the Biden candidacy. Oh the irony.

Biden will win a caucus or primary somewhere, sometime—maybe.... ;-)

Biden will never drop out. He’ll ride onto the stage of the Demon convention on a horse with a sword unsheathed yelling “I HAVE NOT YET BEGUN TO FIGHT!” Then he’ll realize his Depends are leaking and make way to the nearest port a potty.

I believe you're completely accurate with that statement.

They might as well bring back Dukakis or Mondale because they're going to obtain the same result, as those Dimms accomplished, whoever their candidate ends up being.
