Biden ran in 1988, 2008 and 2020. He has never placed higher than 4th in any primary or caucus.

That's 115 voting contests so far. Never once higher than 4th place.

Electability, ladies and gentlemen!

I'll be honest, I'm not a Biden fan. I don't like his policies, and I think his ethics are questionable. But that was hard to watch. It could be a slip of the tongue, but if it's dementia, I wish him all the best.



Honestly before this all began I thought it was his to lose, and that he'd probably lose it saying some silly statements or smelling Elizabeth Warren's hair on live TV, but what had happened instead is him losing outright because of a more typical reason; grassroots efforts of his opponents and bad debate performance.

And another one.

"I'm the guy who [in 2016] came back after meeting with Deng Xiaoping and making the case that I believe China will join [the Paris Climate Agreement] if we put pressure on them."

Deng Xiaoping has been dead since 1997 - 19 years prior.  He confused Deng Xiaoping with Xi Jinping.  Not the greatest of blunders but it's a part of a trend that has to be concerning for his campaign.

I watched most of the debate tonight. I couldn't tell what Biden was saying half the time. I am beginning to see the point of those suggesting he is suffering from something. Poor guy. I'd hate to be in this kind of spotlight with that type of stuff on full display. He's been through so much with his kids, he should just enjoy the time he has left with his family.



I think he's done. The better question is, when is Bernie getting the nomination? And does he stand a chance against Trump? I don't think he does that hot online... A lot of people are inclined to agree that the Democratic bid is destined to fail and that it's going to be a park walk for Trump. That's honestly what concerns me.



My bet with The_Liquid_Laser: I think the Switch won't surpass the PS2 as the best selling system of all time. If it does, I'll play a game of a list that The_Liquid_Laser will provide, I will have to play it for 50 hours or complete it, whatever comes first.

Yes. Now they are trying to make sure bernie only gets a plurality and not a majority so they can screw him over at the convention



Just a guy who doesn't want to be bored. Also

If anyone can best Trump, it's Bernie. A cure for a fake populist is a real one. And I honestly believe getting this nomination is harder for Bernie than beating trump because if he doesn't get the majority, they might try to screw him over at the convention even if he has a plurality

I’m vacationing in New York/New Jersey, and all I see is Mike Bloomberg ads.

It’s clear he’s the final front runner. He is drowning out everybody else.

It's either Bernie Sanders or someone screwing him over at the convention

The outcome I see is they are mad either way. Only  possfour outcomesible in my mind:

1) Sanders wins most delegates but then loses in second round of convention vote. Sanders voters are ticked and either don't vote at all in general election or vote third party to stick it to the moderate Democrats, costing them the election.

2) Sanders wins nomination, but because he is so far left there will be record low numbers of independents and moderate Republicans voting for the Democratic nominee, costing them the election plus losing probably 20-40 House seats and all competitiveness in close Senate races of swing States.

3) Sanders loses I'm first round and throws and doesn't really behind winner. Repeat results from option 1.

4) Sanders loses in outright and accepts it, endorses nominee, and campaigns for them. A moderate Democrats with the backing and campaigning of Sanders/Warren/Yang would probably beat Trump. This is the only option that could make them win 2020 down the ballot and the Presidency, but I also think it is the least likely to happen.

Either way, after 2016, of Sanders gets shafted again by superdelegates his supporters are going to lose their minds. May see the tea party of the left happen.
