I just hope that The Joe Biden did not squeal his tires trying to get out NH as fast as possible. It will save him from answering a hundred questions about when/if he is going to drop out and how he can say he is the only one who can beat trump when he can't beat his dem rivals. Yeh, that would put me on the road early too I think. Watch the tards begin/continue to crabwalk away from Joe. "Oh, I never said I thought Joe would win." After chanting that "Joe is the only one who can get black votes and the one who gets the black vote will win" 24/7 for six months or more.
Meh. There will be some movement based on tv and the initial coverage of early states but AA voters by and large oppose socialism. I see the media, pollsters and pundits piling on but I just don’t see a candidate more aligned with AA voters than Biden. Now what will be interesting is turnout. Iowa gave an indication enthusiasm is flat for white voters. I will be looking at turnout most of all tonight. Bernie’s argument is that he can bring in new voters but that is looking like a crock. He can’t even do the numbers he did in 2016. Now when we get into South Carolina we’ll have a good idea of enthusiasm among AA voters. If it’s low turnout then quite frankly the democrats are in trouble. But if turnout is high then then it could be backlash on the media narrative of Iowa and New Hampshire in combination with anti trump sentiment. Biden is not Warren.
I don't think low turnout means much in the primary. AA voters have showed their enthusiasm when voting against Trump/republicans. For instance,3 months ago Gop got 51% in the primary,but 49 % in the general after black voters came out for the general.That was the case in many elections in 2018 and other races since 2016 "John Bel Edwards won with African American votes and African American turnout," political analyst Ron Faucheux said. "The 51% that Republicans got combined in the primary fell to 49% in the runoff, and that was largely due to increased African American turnout." In November the enthusiasm is more about beating Trump than the democrat candidate imo.
This is probably not the most profound question in the world but something that Joe should have thought twice and thrice about: Is it really smart to head out and leave the state WHILE HALF THE FRIGGING STATE has not even voted yet? Probably more than half. Joe has been gone since early today but people are just getting home from work, finishing up their first drink, changing their clothes and thinking of going out to vote. He has plummeted down to the point that even if he stayed in the state he would probably only get 8% of the vote. But apparently Joe says "Whoa, 8%, what's up wit dat? Let's go for 4%." OR LESS. Joe, whattaya doing here, Lad?
We have a fallen 77 year old while male who is not responding to CPR. Preparing defibrillator. Clear! From realclearpolitics.com: Memo From: To: Date: Subject: Larry Rasky Interested Parties February 8, 2020 Avoid the Train Wreck by Uniting For Biden As I watched the debate, beyond Vice President Biden demonstrating his leadership through his tribute to Lt. Colonel Vindman, I kept thinking about how Trump’s campaign is viewing the current field and how all of this has the potential of playing out. Below are my thoughts: 1) We all like and respect Mayor Pete. He has run a tremendous campaign. However, Democrats run the risk of a realignment of the African American vote if Pete is the nominee. Pete’s lack of answers on serious African American issues during his tenure in South Bend is problematic. Trump will drive a huge wedge with criminal justice reform and economics. What is the path if Trump gets 20%+ of the African American vote? It should also be noted that while Senator Klobuchar had a nice debate performance, her history as a prosecutor has also created problems with our base. Beyond all that, Pete’s answer on decriminalization of all drugs is a nonstarter in the general election. And the stature gap on stage is terrifying. 2) The Sanders-Warren wing of the Party is ready for the Bloomberg fight. Democrats cannot afford a split Convention. Do you really think the Sanders voters wing will support Mike Bloomberg? Do you think all the camps who have busted their butts and played by the rules will happily sign on the Bloomberg’s campaign? It is not going to happen. And if Warren can’t close on Sanders with her Massachusetts army it looks like Bernie could consolidate the left quickly while moderates battle on. 3) The Sanders Socialist issue is real and dangerous. Biden is 100% correct. Democrats in swing areas in the country will have to hide from Sanders. In 2018, Sanders backed candidates went 0-40 in swing areas. We cannot risk the House, state Houses, and also have no shot of dislodging McConnell with Bernie at the top of the ticket. 4) Donors hedging their bets on Biden because of Bloomberg could be creating a doomsday scenario for Democrats everywhere. As Van Jones pointed out last night, a Bloomberg-Bernie confrontation at the Convention will be a train wreck. Especially if Bernie has more delegates, do you really think the Bros will make way for Mike? Not to mention that the legacy of the Sanders campaign (such as the Squad) will ravage any chance Center-Left Democrats have of maintaining hard won victories in states from Pennsylvania to California. 5) Obviously, I am biased but Joe Biden remains the one candidate that can beat Trump. Biden is the one candidate who can unite every corner of the Democratic coalition from hugging Bernie to African Americans, Latinos, working-class whites and suburban women. Equally as important, as the Vice President pointed out last night, he is the only candidate who can campaign in every district -- as he did in 2018 -- and help Nancy keep the House and give Chuck a chance to win back the Senate. Really, who else can run in the Carolinas and Alabama for starters and help Cunningham, Harrison and Jones. Biden does not like attacking fellow Democrats. And he is not a favorite among the check writers. However, he has always performed against the Republicans in key moments (see Palin and Ryan) and money will not be an issue in the general. Friends, you need to turn off the spin and look at the polling. As we and others predicted, the Democratic electorate is lining up behind moderates at around 55%-45%. But a divided moderate wing doesn’t help. Look beyond South Carolina where Biden continues to shine. In Texas, Joe Biden is still dominating his Democratic rivals and is the one person who can beat Trump. State poll after state poll tell similar stories. Joe Biden is the first front runner never to be fully resourced. You can change that and it needs to happen soon. Bernie could come rolling out of New Hampshire with too much steam to be stopped by anyone but Joe. And Mike offers a faulty safety valve. Think Nelson Rockefeller to Barry Goldwater. And again, it bears pointing out again that no Democrat can win without an energized base in the minority community. Unite the Country needs you to dig deep right now.

Hey wtf did he mean when he just said this in SC? I don't get the joke. Was that a shot at Booty and who is Cedric Richmond? I swear he just said this at some rally. I'm not hearing things. “Look I’m Joe Biden’s husband and I work for Cedric Richmond.” Edit: Ok Cedric is his campaign co-chair. https://mobile.twitter.com/search?q="I'm+Joe+Biden's+husband"&s=typd&x=19&y=15 *I knew I wasn't hearing things.
