TGHusker Posted March 5, 2020 Author Share Posted March 5, 2020 Biden's nomination may help the Dems take the senate as well. https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/486042-republicans-rooting-for-sanders-see-biden-wins-as-setback Quote Republican lawmakers are surprised and disappointed by the results of Super Tuesday, which firmly re-established former Vice President Joe Biden as the front-runner for the Democratic presidential nomination and dealt Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) a major setback. Republican senators conceded Wednesday they would rather face Sanders, a self-described democratic socialist, as the opposing nominee, instead of Biden, whom they consider more mainstream and tougher to draw a contrast with. In the battle for the Senate, Republicans would like to tie Democratic candidates to Sanders and socialism, and generally see Biden as a stronger candidate. Similarly, Democrats were uneasy about Sanders as their standard-bearer, and Biden has made this a point of attack on the campaign trail, arguing he would help Democrats take back the Senate. “I think Bernie is the easiest to contrast with. Biden would be a little harder to contrast with,” said Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.). “Truly, I think it’s better for us for Bernie to be the nominee in terms of down-ballot.” The day after Biden’s big wins, Democrats received the welcome news that Montana Gov. Steve Bullock is poised to enter the race against Sen. Steve Daines (R-Mont.). Bullock would be a huge recruit for Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.). Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said last year he wanted to make the 2020 election a “referendum on socialism,” a plan that would be helped immensely if Democrats nominate Sanders, who advocates for “Medicare for All,” free college, student debt forgiveness and a wealth tax. With Biden re-emerging as the favorite to win the Democratic nomination, GOP lawmakers acknowledge 2020 is likely to be more of a referendum on President Trump. Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) called Biden the “safe pick” for Democrats. He said Sanders was “an easier target because he admits his socialism.” Other Democratic candidates “believe in most of the things he believes in, but they don’t call themselves socialists,” he added.

Bernie had a heart attack a couple months ago. Plus Trump had that mysterious hospital visit last year. None of the three are exactly pillars of health, but what specifically about Biden is there? Did I miss something? 1 1 Link to comment

His stumping speeches - he seems more gaff prone and forgetful - is there dementia setting in or some other neurological issue? Or am I just reading Russian disinformation Link to comment

Again, not saying Trump has no chance - just that it's virtually a toss up by most metrics. No one can clearly say one person has the clear path if it were a Trump/Biden race. You found -149? I don't think I have ever see that type of number. Link to comment

But if the vote happened tomorrow, Trump by 10% IMO. Another factor we should consider is what else will “come out “ about either candidate prior to the election. I don’t believe for one minute that neither the GOP Or Dems don’t have some sort of ace up their sleeve to be revealed when the time is right. Burisma conspiracies? More evidence against Trump?

Redux Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 The Dems will hold the big one in their sleeve until 2021 for the next impeachment attempt. I'll be honest, I feel like Biden is a patsy. Link to comment

Bernie has also done a lot to stoke animosity between himself and the democratic party (see articles sited above) I would not be surprised if he does try to run as a third option if he loses the primary to Biden Bernie has said repeatedly since all the way back in 2015 that he'll support the Dem nominee against Trump. And he actually practiced what he preached in 2016 when he did more rallies and events for Hillary than anyone not actually in her campaign. And he's said it over and over in this election cycle as well. What else does the guy have to do? Link to comment
