The day Biden announces give as much as you can to his campaign... I plan to max out.

We need Biden to win the primary. He can take the three states we must have...WI,MI And PA where he was raised. He might take Ohio. Biden is the only candidate whom we can count on to stop Trump. I will be driving but will respond as soon as possible to any replies. We can beat Trump...but we need an electable candidate.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden

but I am not persuaded. I think Trump only won because Hillary Clinton was not very well-liked among independents and was hated by Republicans. Her favoaibility ratings were almost as low as his. That is not true of any of the current candidates. BTW, Sanders is rated higher in Wisconsin than Biden; Biden is rated higher than Sanders in Pennsylvania; and I haven't been able to find figures specific to Michigan.

Trump campaigned there a lot in 2016. If any of our candidates put in a ground game and campaigns in WI,MI And PA they will win . The "Blue Wall" looks good for 2020.

(CNN)President Donald Trump demolished the "blue wall" in the Great Lakes region two years ago. On Tuesday night, Democrats rebuilt it.

The party's candidates won races for governor and the Senate in the three states that delivered Trump the presidency -- Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. Democrats padded their new House majority in the suburbs of Philadelphia and Detroit, while Milwaukee delivered the surge they needed to finally, on their fourth try, beat Republican Gov. Scott Walker.

The Democratic victories set the stage for a 2020 battle royale in the three states that could decide the presidency.

They could also shape a Democratic nominating contest set to begin almost immediately, underscoring which states Democrats are best poised to win and which candidates and issues most appeal in those states.

will lose against Trump - the word socialist will sink him. My own choice, Elizabeth probably wouldn’t do that much better, after she took the bait and got that DNA test.

And so what? Chasing electability is a fools errand. You end up seeing a future full of flying cars and hover boards. Today’s polls are little more than looker paper. Racism would rule out Obama. Dukakis was going to crush GHWB.

I chose the policies and vision for America that rings true for me. I’ll let flesh and blood voters decide (cf Diebold).
