Joe Biden under fire from rivals for remarks about civility with segregationists

[Jingthing]

People are thinking that just because Biden is the front runner at this stage that he will be the nominee. That is silly. It is way way early and the Democratic candidates haven't even had their first of many debates. Polls show albeit also very early that most any democratic can beat 45. Biden is way ahead mostly on name recognition. I will make one prediction with confidence. Over the course of this nomination process Biden won't always be in the lead. Stay tuned.

The Dems dredge up stuff daily. Biden is a dinosaur and serial loser and many Dems don't like him. If they are not careful they will get Trump reelected. They need a fresh, younger, dynamic leader. Get rid of Pellosi, Shumer and Waters for a start. 

Take a look at Yang. He's a very high character person who's wicked smart.

But he didn't have the gift of Donald Trump as a potential opponent.

Trump is not his opponent. His opponent is 23 other Democrats that are at least as smart as he is, younger, carrying less baggage, and with better policies. That's why he's pretending that they don't exist and that he's already running for the presidency.

Not easy to implement if you don't control Congress, that's true. If Congress is split that can change at the mid terms if the president makes a good enough case for the policies.

Oh, did he lose in 2020?  I tried to find a Wiki article on that but it's mysteriously absent. And in 1988 he didn't lose, he withdrew.

 

Wow if this is the best you guys can do, I'll be feeling pretty good about Biden even though he is not my preferred candidate.  

Ohhhh he 'withdrew' that makes ALL the difference I'm so sorry I thought he was forced out for stealing speeches. Anyway he made up for it in 2008 by coming 5th in Iowa. He only stands a chance now due to Obama choosing him as an ineffective, quiet and compliant VP.

In a couple of years it will be funny to hear that Biden could have won. After a big loss.

3 strikes and he's out!, 

But get the popcorn ready because the debates are going to a Hoot! 555

So he says that sometimes you have to work with people with a different view than yours to get the job done. That makes him a racist, according to his own party. This self destruction will ensure Trumps win.

Wow, did you get that wrong.

 

To illustrate the point that sometimes you have to work with people with a different view than yours to get the job done, Biden chose to platform two outright racists. That made members of his own party, rightly, question his decision-making acumen and suitability for POTUS. Joe is not known for being the sharpest knife in the drawer...

[kamahele]

Those that are making a fuss about the fact that despite how despicable Joe Biden thought these men were, he was able to work with them to pass some bills in a bi-partisan manner are too young to remember what the make up of our government was in the 70's. There were still many segregationists in government and at least two former members of the KKK in the Senate, both serving until their deaths many years later. Should we tear down a man who is able to work with his political enemies for the betterment of the citizens?

It seems that to be "acceptable" now you have to apologies for being white, support reparation payments to colored people for slavery in the past; support employing and promoting people based on their color, religion, sexual orientation and gender - most certainly not on their skills and potential; give university places based on quotas rather than ability; and denounce anyone who dares not to bow to all this as a Nazi, Fascist racist. And of course support the idea that illegal immigrants, criminals, must be looked after nicely and rewarded for choosing to break the law.

 

The pc liberal world of the Democrats. Only their view is permitted in their utopia!

Don't always agree with you but this is spot on. Identity Politics is creating vast divisiveness in this dysfunctional world of ours.

Absolutely not.

 

But we should question the relevance of his ideas, policies and platforms. Being a political relic is not going to be helpful in beating 45.

"Plugs" Biden has little or no chance of beating Trump. He's been wrong on everything for 40 years. Obama won't carry him this time. Trump will win in a landslide regardless of which loser they put against him.

[Cryingdick]

Did anybody expect anything less from the dems? They can't help but destroy what is their best chance of winning. It's going to be comical in 2020 when they wonder how and when it all went wrong for them.

Do you care more about his age than having a real chance to beat Trump?

Strange how to some people a trim and fit 76 year old is too old, but an obese 73 year old is good to go.

I want Trump beaten, and in his case not primarily because he's also too old for the job. Surely the Democrats can nominate a credible candidate who hasn't reached retirement age yet.

Two of the three candidates I could support are over the age of 70. Still I could drop them for someone else if all other septugenarians left the race as well.

[beechguy]

I don't think Biden has a chance, the DNC is already plotting against him, like they did Bernie.

I didn't say he is too old. I merely suggested the if you want to beat Trump maybe the poster should figure out what is more important. You always have such a warped spin on every single post you make.

Again I was suggesting age is not important if your priority is beating Trump. Not sure why people are replying to my reply that said exactly that. Let me rephrase..Do you care more about how old the candidate is or is it more important to beat Trump?

 

If I was a dem I would simply want to pick anybody that can beat Trump. You can elect a socialist wacko the next election after that. After all there is still roughly another 11 years before the world ends.
