$18 million is much more than the $2 billion he had promised

That would be too risky. No way Bloomberg wastes another billion dollars after his last spanking. Obama doesn't endorse Joe looks sketchy.

And these are the reasons for putting forward Joe Biden?

 

Surely, you must see the obviousness of his failing mental faculties.

 

As a fellow American, I am surprised if you can't. 

 

This condition of Biden has nothing to do with Trump, and if Democrats are really serious about winning they need to get Biden to resign from the race.

 

Its a mess. He is far worse then I remember Reagan being in his last year in office.

 

Democrats should not kid themselves on this one.

Sorry, my post was made in response to the Democratic Party's only chance was in showing its positive response to Sanders (progressives) supporters. Without the party promoting the interests of the working middle class, I personally feel, we face the same disaffection faced in 2016 by far too many voters.

trump will play with the lives of Americans for political gain.   

But honest Joe Biden would never do such a thing.

 

What has that man accomplished in a lifetime of politics other than bringing home some bacon for Delaware?

 

Pairing Hillary with him will create the most opportunist ticket the US has seen in the last 150 years.

 

With Trump and Republican in 2024 we might have another ten years. Maybe. With those two rubes it's game over.

What is with your OBSESSION with our last President needing to endorse his VP? Is the plan to claim Biden was born in Kenya or what? Prey tell?

Indeed.

Of course Obama wasn't going to endorse anyone including Biden before a nominee was picked. If he had endorsed Biden earlier the tin foil 45 fans and Bernie bros extremists would have used that in their disinformation campaign that the Biden nomination was fixed by the establishment. Biden won because he got more votes resulting in more delegates. Period end of story.

 

Does anyone actually believe Obama won't endorse Biden at some point now that Biden's nomination is definite? What do they think? He will endorse 45? Stay neutral? What planet do such people live on? 

 

As far as when he will do that and in what setting. That is very much complicated by the virus emergency. He could do it soon in an online media event but he may well wait until the convention hoping that by then it can be somewhat of a real convention. I don't know when he will do it. I wouldn't surprised if he doesn't either. These are not normal times.  But don't fret, he will definitely do it and he will definitely forcefully campaign for Biden.

Shhhhh maybe the electorate won’t notice how trump is failing and won’t take responsibility for anything shhhh

Most intelligent people can see that this continuously lying <deleted> in the White House is almost deranged and just plain dumb, as witnessed by his latest almost incoherent ramble about germs, viruses and antibiotics!!

 

Not only that, he failed to act against the virus when it was put to him that there could be a pandemic – – – but then that's just all old news of which his supporters don't want to be reminded.

 

Now I am neither a Democrat or a Republican, nor a US citizen, but how on earth has the situation got to this: – a dumb, idiot clown in the White House, and someone challenging for the presidency who doesn't seem to have the wherewithal to know which day of the week it is.

 

Two very weak candidates with half an ounce of grey matter between them, with Biden edging trump on that aspect, but he is hardly the person to rally folks around him and his cause, because he is seemingly living up to his title of "Sleepy Joe" and I doubt whether he could motivate a family to vacate a burning house, such is his lack of charisma.

 

Sad times indeed.

Do you seriously want to make this a contest of who is the most incoherent, Trump or Biden? 

It kind of sums up the appallingly low standard of leadership America has now not just accepted, but fully embraced. Ever since Reagan, the intelligence and leadership quality of Republican presidents has been going down, while the quality of Democrat presidents has stayed fairly constant - that is, until Joe Biden. Sanders would have totally dominated Trump in debate. Biden will be either semi-incoherent or will scrape by with vague and rehearsed lines. Trump will eat him alive. He loves a fight. He has the will to win at any cost, whether it's a reality show or leadership of the world - it's all the same to him.

[Eric Loh]

The 12 Amendment may have prevented Obama to be Biden’s VP, Michelle Obama will be just as good as a knock out blow to Trump. Let’s hope she reconsider her political position for the sake of the country.

But that's really the problem an entire career in public service and nothing to show for it. Speaks volumes. Biden, HRC, John Kerry.

That is true for every person in the world, and you could make that argument against anyone who would run against trump including Sanders or any other Democratic opponent.

Why are we even holding an election?

I disagree on the debate premise trump will revert to schoolboy sandbox bulley as he does in all things imo he will refuse or weasel (no offense to the weasels) out of the debates facts and truth are his enemies ,slander lies Emotional dog whistles are his tools imo he’s toast

Sociopaths and bullies are running most of the countries in the world, and they always have. They have an insatiable desire for power and the ruthless determination to achieve it. Many people find this appealing. They want leaders to have simplistic solutions to complex problems, and the more unforgiving of transgressors the better.

 

Trump will almost certainly win, unless Biden picks someone smarter and more popular than him to take over - when his dementia sets in (Michelle Obama is the standout there, and the Dems would have it in the bag with her as VP).

Telling the truth about someone isn't slander. His voting record and record of contributors is public record. Slander? Hilarious. Even your pals at Mother Jones aren't Joe Biden fans- BECAUSE he's a bankster thug.

Now.... given the topic of the article and thread is Joe Biden getting the nomination, your whining about Donald Trump makes it YOU who is doing the deflecting here.

 

You are entitled to your own opinion. You are NOT entitled to make up facts unchallenged.

I recall Trump pouting, lying and denying in debates, which was good enough for his base.  No doubt that is what he will do again, and again it will be good enough for his base.  However to expect Trump to dominate in a debate, or to say anything coherent if he departs from rehearsed lines, is ridiculous.

If only Biden can recall.... well, pretty much anything. Surely you realize he's in big trouble at the debates, yes?

Sociolinguist described Trump’s debating style as “idiolect”. A idiosyncratic form of language of small words and non substantive that sounds like a bumbling idiot. He also has the habit of wandering around the Oval Office, WH lawn and the podium. That I believed is a kind of cognitive deficit.

"Sociolinguist".... so some over-educated bum, likely hiding out from the real world at some university, is butt hurt that Trump defeated Hillary. Funny stuff.

 

However you or your "experts" choose to describe it, Trump's debating skills helped get him into the White House. Joe Biden probably can't even remember what time his nap is.

Trump actually lost all the debates with Hillary but give him credit for a winning election campaign.

He simply not good enough for any debating due to his inability to stay focus and lack of preparation. Good debaters refrain from belittling their opponents. You know that but your urge to defend is just too overpowering.

"Sleepy Joe" is the least of it. He is not nearly as addled as people seem to think. That is the least of his issues. The problem is he is indistinguishable from a Republican. Additionally, he's got a closet full of skeletons and he has been credibly accused of sexual assault. The Democrat's/meda's treatment of his accuser has been both reprehensible and hypocritical.

 

He became the nominee by having his party apparatus and their media instruments smear the electorate's candidate of choice as being a socialist/Nazi, when all he was, was a Democrat who cared about the working class. which most Democrats don't anymore.

I read the entire article. What comes across to me Republicans worked closely with Biden in order to get legislation over the line to ensure revenue coming into Delaware. Personally I find the justification repulsive considering the consequences for those less well off. Where's your criticism of Republicans for supporting the legislation? We all know the Obama admin did some great. to curtail the excesses of the financial services industry, which as soon as he could, trump reversed.

 

I would imagine Biden can use the info below to great effect against trump.

Note his inability to not graduate near bottom in his classes, plagiarism, inability to hold a job for long and survival by going into politics. Deciding to run for US Senate before starting his elected position in New Castle county (where I grew up). Don't get me wrong, everyone likes Mr. "Hi, I'm Joe Biden! Vote for me". He's all charm.
