Joe Biden prevails in nomination fight with electability argument
CBS "News" ^ | April 8, 2020 | BY BO ERICKSON

Washington - Joe Biden is now the likely 2020 Democratic presidential nominee after his last remaining opponent, Bernie Sanders, dropped out of the race on Wednesday morning, a day after Wisconsin held its primary amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Though the results of that race will not be known until next week, Biden is widely expected to score another decisive victory.

After Sanders announced the end of his presidential campaign, Biden told Sanders in a statement, "You will be heard by me. As you say: Not me, Us."

He also addressed the senator's supporters: "I see you, I hear you, and I understand the urgency of what it is we have to get done in this country. I hope you will join us. You are more than welcome. You're needed."

Now, sources tell CBS News that Biden is already in a "pre-vetting" stage to find a running mate, winnowing a larger list of women-only candidates, since the vetting process requires immense resources.

Biden's case for electability and a return to normalcy has shown increasing resonance amid growing alarm over the coronavirus pandemic. In the end, his early bet on electability, backed up by polling that showed the thing Democrats care most about is which candidate has the best shot of beating Mr. Trump in the general election, consolidated moderate Democratic voters across the country behind Biden.

It’s the USSR all over again. Andropov has left the stage, and all they have left is Chernenko.

Now is the time to be concerned about who the vice-Presidential candidate may be; the next in succession !

In email obtained by The NY Post, Biden’s political chief of staff Stacy Eichner told state officials
the Biden presidential campaign received a “significant number of offers”
from organizations and people eager to offer virus resources.

The DOJ needs to investigate this outrage.

Are they hoarding medical supplies? For political purposes?

Why havent they offered these supplies to hard-hit virus states?

Where did they get medical supplies Americans have been told are scarce or non-existent?

Is the Biden campaign hand-picking states to receive help----states he calculates he needs to win electoral and popular votes?

There at least they are honest. What do Democrats care about most? The country? The people? The economy? The future? No. Beating Trump. Period.

That is assuming Biden can find his way out of the basement.
Expect the MSM to take focus off COVID and start the mantra that only Biden can save us.

Biden will turn out just like those other “electability” candidates John McCain and Mitt Romney.

Designated Losers.

Mattressback Harris- Nobody likes her (except Willie)

The FBI?? Really? Have you learnt nothing. I wouldn’t be surprised if they were behind this.

There are also the female governors of Michigan and New Mexico. The latter is Hispanic (Lujan Grisham) so I wonder why she isn’t been talked about. A two-fer.

Might be interesting to see how his supporters take it - he may have defused them a bit by dropping instead of being disposed of...kind of a bummer - I was looking forward to how it would play if he stuck it out..

Now the question is if they really try to stick by Senile Joe...seems clear enough he couldn't finish a term even if elected....how does he find a female running mate who could beat Trump on her own?
