but the more he speaks surely the worse it is .

It’s not a stratospherically high bar, but he’s been significantly better over the last couple of weeks than he was at the start

Can we all maybe share a chuckle that the only place Bloomberg won is American Samoa?

For $700m

He could have just bought the place ffs lol

Think no matter what side of the argument you occupy, a good Lol at Bloomberg is utterly called for

Perhaps he should have spent Samoa.

And that pisses me off. Vote for who YOU want to be President in the primaries and then vote for whoever it winds up being. "Electability" concerns went out the damn window when Trump got the nomination for the GOP much less won.

having spoke to them this morning they voted Bernie so they went with their conscience , I don’t see much wrong with considering your position and the future especially when the future is another four years of trump . you could certainly be right by the way but I suspect many labour supporters could argue against you.

Yeah agreed , his speech on loss seemed pretty good but a Biden vs trump debate is a bit mind blowing

So two people who most likely are suffering from a form of dementia are going to be vying to be President. Just super.

That's the issue in the States tho, it's only Republican or Democrat. You vote for who you want now, vote for whomever will screw you the least in the general.

If only Sanders had done the sensible thing after his heart attack and withdrawn to endorse Warren, this country might have had a shot at a progressive administration.

I get that mindset. However, at this particular point in time, who I personally want to be President is “not Donald Trump” and I doubt I’m the only one who feels this way. That’s why electability matters in the primary.

Even though I live in a state that will be solid red in November, I know a lot of people who voted for Trump in 2016 that have a good deal of “buyers remorse” after seeing how he’s conducted himself as President, and will not be voting for him again. At the same time, these people almost unanimously consider Bernie to be a little to far left, and would probably just sit the election out if he were the nominee. I imagine this is probably the case all over the country, and when you’re talking about an election that will probably hinge on 250k or less votes in about 5 states, it becomes an important consideration.

I’m not super excited about Biden, but at this point I’d be more than happy to have a President who is trying to help the nation take a few modest steps forward as opposed to four more years of a guy trying to drag us backwards.

Note I said better, not perfect... lol

But to be fair, Biden's been making gaffes for 40yrs... it's baked into perception of him... It's not a new phenomenon

Exactly

Everyone says Warren needs to drop out to endorse Bernie.

Warren would make a better president, IMHO. Just less name recognition

Biden vs Trump on the debate stage will be a sight to behold. Mindless nonsense of epic proportions.

Yet Biden still looks like Daniel Webster compared to Trump
