12. Part of being smart is thinking before you act, thinking before you speak

Jul 2019

And Biden fails on that. His campaign has not been around for a long time, and he has already put his foot in his mouth a few times, he even had to apologize for it.

If he didn't have that urge to be liked maybe he could cut, almost completely, on the gaffes he makes. No other candidate has made as many as he has in such a short time.

I don't dislike Biden, he was a very good VP, a man with class, integrity, but I just don't think he is the right candidate for 2020, we have more progressive people running, younger people who do not have so much baggage, who are not looking to be liked by republicans, and will fight them appropriately.

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

Does Joe have his mojo back? [View all] DemocratSinceBirth Jul 2019 OP

We are going to have to catch him or rip him to pieces. SouthernProgressive Jul 2019 #1

I hope the Democratic candidates understand that republicans already have all they need Perseus Jul 2019 #5

I don't think your question exists in reality. SouthernProgressive Jul 2019 #6

Then you haven't been watching Perseus Jul 2019 #11

That's just not true. The Republicans talk about Warren, Bernie, Kamala redstateblues Jul 2019 #30

we should all ask the question why do republicans want him to win the nomination Celerity Jul 2019 #13

I think Bernie would win New Mexico, no matter what. Turin_C3PO Jul 2019 #15

Is it really possible to lose states like Connecticut and New York? Celerity Jul 2019 #18

Yeah, the red baiting would be at an all time high. Turin_C3PO Jul 2019 #19

His error was to say that if his ideas would label him as a socialist, then he was one. Perseus Jul 2019 #22

Agreed. Turin_C3PO Jul 2019 #24

This was all litigated last time Bernie ran. redstateblues Jul 2019 #32

As long as he has no truly major gaffes (far beyond the seg dust-up) and does well in the next Celerity Jul 2019 #25

Yes, I agree that Biden Turin_C3PO Jul 2019 #26

Warren will drag in Schultz (for sure) and probably Bloomberg as well Celerity Jul 2019 #27

You could be right... gotta give credit to Joe for fighting back against Kamala's debate tactics. InAbLuEsTaTe Jul 2019 #28

In a one on one debate (you obviously can see my overall assessment of his chances) Celerity Jul 2019 #31

False premise to the question. Republicans don't. emmaverybo Jul 2019 #33

I was saying if they could have any (realistic, so no Gravel, Messam, etc) opponent Celerity Jul 2019 #34

Oh. Sorry. Misunderstood. Yeah. Agree. emmaverybo Jul 2019 #35

Good post. cwydro Jul 2019 #16

Only when he's in the Trans Am. House of Roberts Jul 2019 #2

Part of being smart is thinking before you act, thinking before you speak Perseus Jul 2019 #12

I'm not in favor of Biden but that's a bit much qazplm135 Jul 2019 #17

So you think he gave some thought when he spoke so well about the two segregationists? Perseus Jul 2019 #20

Sure I do qazplm135 Jul 2019 #21

Sorry but, what you explain about him "proceeded ahead" tells me he didn't think about it Perseus Jul 2019 #23

Huh? qazplm135 Jul 2019 #29

let's go Joe ! stonecutter357 Jul 2019 #4
