Supporters of Joe Biden are unlikely to be persuaded by most of the common criticisms. They know he can be rambling and unintelligible. They know his record is unimpressive and that he doesnt really have policy proposals. None of this matters, though, because to them he has the most important quality of all: he can beat Donald Trump. Nothing you can say about the former vice-presidents record, platform or mental state matters next to the argument that he is the best hope Democrats have of getting Trump out of office.
Theres just one problem: its a myth. It is a myth just as it was a myth that Hillary Clinton was a good candidate against Trump. Biden is not, in fact, the pragmatic choice. He would not beat Trump. He would lose. And we must say this over and over again. Forget his flubs. Forget his finger-nibbling. Biden would be crushed by Trump. If you want Trump out of office, dont support Biden.

Nope. They need the nominee to be a white male, and lose in 2020. Reason is obvious.
“Most electable” just means highest name recognition. Even so, Biden will not inspire the needed turnout from the Democrat base. Trump does inspire his base to get out and vote. They don’t have an Obama this time. Not even a Hillary.
Exactly.
Biden (or Clinton) are the most electable but really neither have a chance.
... get used to waiting until 2024.
Biden is an incredibly bad choice, until you look at the rest of the Democrats.
Bloomberg has two big problems in the Democrat party:
1) The radical blacks, especial from NYC, like Sharpton, hate him for stop & frisk and
2) The AOC socialists and the Berners hate him because he’s a totally establishment connected billionaire.
Along with his demonstrated disrespect for the Democrat voters, shown by his refusal to: participate in the debates, participate in the early primaries, and do any public fund raising, those factors are likely to diminish his chances of winning the nomination.
I dunno... I’ve seen the excitement in the faces of those octogenarians at the nursing homes he visits, as Pappy Joe challenges chubby dudes to push up contests. The man is a force!
Thanks ... makes sense ...
Their problem is that all their candidates are losers, Slowjoe won’t end up doing too much worse than any of the other options.
All the Dem candidates are turds, some just smell worse than others.
In 90 days, this thing is going to be pretty much over as we will be past Iowa, past NH, past SC, FL, OH, MI, IL and "Super Tuesday".
Now four years ago, as we were approaching the Iowa Caucus, Donald Trump was DOMINATING the news cycle and had been for months on end. He already had MONTHS of rallies in which he was packing them in by the thousands. We see NOBODY on the Democrat side with that level of enthusiasm.
Only Breadline Bernie comes close in terms of enthusiasm. The Biden rallies are nothing but a bunch of really old people in small halls with some hecklers sprinkled in.
I think this nomination is Bernie's to lose. And if he is nominated, Trump could well carry every state except for Vermont.
They need to see a groping compilation video, to achieve clarity. If they still think he is "nicer than Trump" after that there is no hope for them.
This author needs to be silenced! Biden is the guy! Trump fears him most! He's the only unifying force tin the Democratic Party! :)
Thanks that makes sense too ...
After he gets the Dem nomination.
Biden is the Democrat version of Bob Dole. Dems know he wont win so the nomination is like receiving a gold watch prior to retirement.
They dont want to waste a viable candidate (whatever that means) in the upcoming election.
