Joe Biden pleads for party unity amid tensions over segregationist remarks

Joe Biden is pleading for party unity after a week of harsh attacks from his presidential rivals.

“Here’s the deal — whomever the Democratic nominee is, we have to stay together,” he said at a South Carolina event on Friday night, where 20 other Dem candidates also converged.

“You all know in your gut this election is more important than any one you’ve ever been involved in,” he said in a 2-minute speech. “Not because any one of us are running, but because of the man who occupies that office.”

Biden’s campaign has been in damage-control mode since Tuesday night, when he nostalgically praised his own work with segregationist Senate Democrats in the 1970s.

“We didn’t agree on much of anything, but at least there was some civility,” Biden said of his relationship with Sen. James Eastland — adding that Eastland “never called me ‘boy,’ he always called me ‘son.'”

SlowJoe, I don’t think you are going to be the nominee. I don’t think you will last.

If Biden doesn’t win the nomination, who gets it?

Hillary?
Michelle?
Warren?
Some white male?

The Democrats destroyed their party with the tribal crap

This is more proof as to how Trump has demolished the old political rulebook. In the old days, the Democrats would be portrayed as united while Republicans were infighting and whoever the GOP incumbent would lose. All of that has been shot to pieces.

ABC just did a huge dig on Hunter Biden's association with Ukraine and China. I don't know if ABC did it just to say they did it if it is going to be brought up in the debates, or if they genuinely wanted to report on it. But the fact is, they reported on it.

I think because of Trump, more and more Americans are attuned to politics than before and can more easily spot the BS that the Dems trot out. Look at a sight like Twitchy, which takes down all the Dem lies and other conservative blogs and tweets that correct the record instantaneously. Bill Clinton's 1992 War Room could never have dreamed of this. His War Room is the equivalent of those cheap smoke bomb fireworks to Twitter's nuclear bomb.

Let me guess, its the "most important election of our lifetime", right?
