Democratic Primaries
In reply to the discussion: Bernie Sanders is finally number 1! [View all]zonkers
(5,865 posts)pretty much with everyting you say. Except for your take about Joe being ahead by fifty points. That lead only really existed theoretically in a flimsy, on paper way and not in a boots on the ground "real presence" way. As such, it was never real and tangible. He never really put forth a platform beyond "restoring decency" and "I rolled with Obama". And I still feel this was insuliting to the people and the process. Sure it was enough to get him the delegate lead. And I do hope Joe is up for the task as most every non- Trumper does.
Bernie gave me fits and totally lost me when he moronically double down on the whole "Cuba/Castro was a good guy" soundbite debacle thing. It just cemented his un-electability in my eyes, no matter how much more his agenda resonated with me than Biden's did.
I think Joe will beat Don despite the shenanigans and voter fraud that will ensue. It will be ugly. Trump and his minions are fighting for their lives.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
