Poky will not mess with him, that is for sure. First of all she is Senator from his state and so alienating his supporters is risky business. Second- she needs him for VP. Regular viewers will know that I previously said a couple times that she was grooming the Castro Boy but that her number one choice would be Deval Patrick but that it would be difficult because they are both from the same state and he has not been active lately. Well, things are changing, and he has not stopped being her first choice, it is just that the opportunity is there now. Anyway, she is not going to criticize him in any way beyond a surface level. As I said earlier, the sucker is playing his cards beautifully if he wants to be VP. But for President? That is problematic. This is a very late entry so he would have to show the world something new here. Not impossible, just that it would be new that is for sure. Odds are against him on that.
Could be a dud but has the potential to go all the way.Could seriously hurt Biden by taking or splitting the black vote.If he makes it to the top 5 in polling he will be wall street and corporate Americas candidate far out raising Trump and even Obama.If he takes the black vote from Biden he is the next president.If he splits the black vote with Biden Warren takes the nomination and he is the next VP
Getting in this late does create a lot of problems for him, but he has one fantastic advantage that may well make up for it. The rest of the field have all failed to gain any traction at all. So rather than sinking in the muck with the rest of them, he comes in fresh and untainted. They are clowns, he's serious. Did I mention he is black and has never served time? Before, I would say the knock on him was that he was more of an affirmative action technocrat than a real leader. But now that's an advantage, after voters have seen what idiots the others are.
Yeh. There are a lot of moving parts and he played the cards in front of him, that could have gone against him. He could have held off and in the meantime someone locked down a major lead in the meantime. I mean a solid lead, not that frothy shiite that Joe has. The other unspoken factor is that he was not up for a long campaign so he worked that in his favor. His wife cracked mentally and had to be hospitalized as his last campaign for governor came toward an end- citing the rigors of campaigning on the family, and that is one of the main factors that has kept him out for so long. So he is trying to navigate that factor as well. It is just his good fortune that things have only gotten worse for the party in the time he missed out on and no one really has a lock on anything. Ya, I know, tards, Joe Biden, the polls, yaddy di, yaddy dah. Whatevah. Spare me. Both Bloombergs and Devals entries - regardless of how their campaigns go- are massive, massive votes of no-confidence in Joe. No one has any confidence in Poky either but they would not be entering if they thought Joe had the "moderate" lane under control. He doesn't.
A couple people on here remarked about his voice. I went back and found a speech, I don't think it'll be problem. He uses it well, draws the right inflections at the right time. While its naturally high pitched, a voice like that, as long as its strong, (unlike Pokey's as a matter of fact, hers breaks) can be directed at a microphone for effect. Hard to explain, but consider a narrow beam of light vs just a lightbulb, and then directing that beam at various angles and distance on a mic for added effect. (works better when you're holding a mic vs fixed at a podium though) He's got the whole "preacher flow" down too. Shouldn't be a problem. Now if he gets a bad cold... yikes.
From 2018 https://thehill.com/homenews/campai...er-deval-patrick-for-president-over-elizabeth More Massachusetts Voters Prefer Deval Patrick for President than Elizabeth Warren By Michael Burke - 09/20/18 04:43 PM EDT A new poll showed Massachusetts voters prefer their former Gov. Deval Patrick (D) as a presidential candidate in 2020 to their Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D). A Suffolk University Political Research Center/Boston Globe poll published Thursday found that 38 percent of likely voters think Patrick should run, compared to 32 percent of likely voters who think Warren should run. Both Patrick and Warren are considered potential candidates for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2020. The poll's results were based on interviews with 500 likely voters in the state between Sept. 13 and Sept. 17. The margin of sampling error for the poll was 4.4 percentage points. Patrick last month announced a new Political Action Committee (PAC) amid speculation of a presidential run in 2020. The PAC aims to “elect progressive Democrats running for federal office in the upcoming midterm elections.” Patrick served two terms as governor of Massachusetts from 2007 to 2015 and now works for the investment firm Bain Capital. An adviser told Politico in June that Patrick is "really thinking about running" but hadn't yet made a decision. Warren is also viewed as considering a run but so far has said she is focusing on the upcoming midterms, when she is up for re-election.
She wants him humping in Florida for her, just as she wants the Castro Boy humping for hispanics so she has the VP slot to dangle to keep em in line and out there jumping through hoops for her. But her VP nominee has entered the building and they both know it.
