Biden 2020
Related: About this forumFor Biden supporters. Keep the faith. Biden has not changed overnight. He is still the best
candidate and will make a wonderful president as he unites and heals this country. He has that gift. He still has that great gift.

.@KeishaBottoms also did some history: in 1992, Bill Clinton only won one of the first 11 states. (Spoiler: he went on to the Dem nominee and served two terms as POTUS)

surrogates come out strongly as has Mayor Bottoms and sure wish the NV Culinary Union would endorse him since they say they dont want Sanders or Warren.

(2,724 posts)when things get a bit rough. To vote for Bloomberg out of panic would mean that Bidens 30% ceiling could dwindle to around 15%, with Bloomberg ending up at around 15% as well. This leaves Bernie the leader with around 25%.
One thing I can say about Bernie supporters is that, even after a heart attack and consistently being 2nd and 3rd in the polls, they stayed strong behind him and chose not to waver. This is how candidates win.
Sadly, we dont seem to have that same discipline. We dont know how to win. For us to not realize that a vote for Bloomberg is a vote for Bernie, is worrisome.
That being said, Bloomberg will be never get my vote in the Primaries. I am a true Biden supporter.

(19,581 posts)They are being swayed by the slick commercials, and money. Bloomberg has more in common with Trump than they realize. And, Bloomberg is a political opportunist, switching parties when it suits his purposes.
I also will not vote for Bloomberg.

(8,147 posts)Bidens fair weather friends and believe their impatience and fear is going to drive us to a bad choice of nominee. Your astute take makes me realize how that will play out.
This hasty and premature abandonment ignores Bidens own steadfastness in the face of attack from all sides, the tenacity and viability he has demonstrated over the course of a year.
How ironic that Trump benefitted from a similar set of circumstances politically and a cult-like following. Of course, I do not believe Bernies motives, intentions, or potential presidency in any sense equivalent. To the contrary, I believe Bernie believes he can vastly improve American lives, bring us economic equality which will cure our society, and save the planet. Trump had no such good intentions, noble purpose in running, is a brute, and a moron.
I will vote Bernie though I am very afraid we will lose with him. I hope and pray Bloomberg gets
stopped. No pun intended.

I had to shut down the pundits and political opinion pieces. Some seem to have saved their vindictiveness and meanness for this moment in time.
I have reminded myself,they no nothing.
