Democratic Primaries
In reply to the discussion: Which of our candidates, other than Harris, have made statements defending Joe Biden by name? [View all]thesquanderer
(11,989 posts)The news is all about how Trump screwed up and did something he might be impeached for. It's hardly at all about any allegations against Biden. If everyone came out in defense of Biden, it would lead to more attention on the Biden aspect of it when we want the focus to be on the Trump side of it.
If there were a story about a guy burning down a house because he thought the people inside were crooks, then putting out lots of stories about how the people inside weren't crooks is not helpful, when the story should be that the guy burned down the house.
Put differently, when your opponent is self-destructing, don't stand in his way.
Plus I think that if a whole bunch of Dems came out defending Biden, there would be a possible reaction of, "why all this big defense over nothing? I bet there's something there."
Looks to me like Biden is doing just fine on this by himself. Let it lie!
Not that I fault Harris for saying anything... she was asked, she had to answer.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
