Deciding to run for US Senate before starting his elected position in New Castle county (where I grew up). Don't get me wrong, everyone likes Mr. "Hi, I'm Joe Biden! Vote for me". He's all charm. Just beating trump his all we really need. Don't do anything to mess up this lead till November 3rd.

Number 6 Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 (edited) Michelle Obama - never gonna happen. She's has no political experience. Obama has all sorts of muck on his hands that will surely come up HRC, Harris, Kloubacher, Duckworth, Baldwin. I'd bet on Harris. If Hillary starts making her way back on stage, it's Hillary. Trouble is Clinton machine is very damaged. If she gets the nomination it will be very telling. Edited April 13, 2020 by Number 6 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without the party promoting the interests of the working middle class, I personally feel, we face the same disaffection faced in 2016 by far too many voters. Your response is squarely inline with a traditional democrat sensibility, unfortunately the current choice of candidate is not. The race is doomed. Please do not tell me you think Biden is fine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalkingOrders Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 21 hours ago, Jingthing said: Indeed. Of course Obama wasn't going to endorse anyone including Biden before a nominee was picked. If he had endorsed Biden earlier the tin foil 45 fans and Bernie bros extremists would have used that in their disinformation campaign that the Biden nomination was fixed by the establishment. Biden won because he got more votes resulting in more delegates. Period end of story. Does anyone actually believe Obama won't endorse Biden at some point now that Biden's nomination is definite? What do they think? He will endorse 45? Stay neutral? What planet do such people live on? As far as when he will do that and in what setting. That is very much complicated by the virus emergency. He could do it soon in an online media event but he may well wait until the convention hoping that by then it can be somewhat of a real convention. I don't know when he will do it. I wouldn't surprised if he doesn't either. These are not normal times. But don't fret, he will definitely do it and he will definitely forcefully campaign for Biden. I believe Obama will endorse the nominee, and campaign so hard that it will look like he is the one running, and bring much needed energy to the Democrat party and nominee, BUT right now I expect a lot of pressure to be put on Biden to bow out. It is obvious to everyone that his mind is rapidly failing. For the sake of his party he needs to go. Or risk a national embarassment, which will stick to Obama as well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That may very well be true, and I agree with you; but we may very well be wrong as we were before. The problem the Democrats face is they are being forced to vote for someone the nation didn't choose, who only is the nominee because the party undermined the leading candidate that the electorate wanted. So now, we have to vote for what we are against, rather than what we are for, becacause no one is actually for Joe Biden. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They want leaders to have simplistic solutions to complex problems, and the more unforgiving of transgressors the better. Trump will almost certainly win, unless Biden picks someone smarter and more popular than him to take over - when his dementia sets in (Michelle Obama is the standout there, and the Dems would have it in the bag with her as VP). Well Michelle did run the Nations school lunch program....the menu anyway... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given that neither candidate in 2016 earned my vote, I voted 3rd Party. Dilemma presents itself again although I do not have the same rejection of Biden. My “down ticket” votes go for Democrats but I demand that my vote be earned. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you typically the one being paid? Right, I read your post too quickly. The fine for the Trump Foundation was $2 million, plus the foundation was dissolved, Trump admitted misconduct in court documents, and Trump will have to meet strict conditions before he can oversee another non-profit. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2019/11/08/trump-foundation-saga-troubled-charity-ends-2-million-judgment/2532798001/ Trump University, which wasn't a university, was settled because it wouldn't have won in court. No, I have never had "to pay losers to go away"; I don't run scam foundations or "universities". I've also never filed a lawsuit. Why do you ask? Is that a hobby of yours? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
