Moiraine Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 I think Clinton would make a better president than Biden, but Biden is probably the better candidate. He definitely would have been the better candidate in 2016. That was the height of his popularity. Link to comment

Biden clearly has dementia and Hillary was obsessed with getting her hands on the nuclear codes. Biden would probably be more harmless because he likely wouldn't be allowed to really the job, he'd just be a figurehead type. 2 Link to comment

Results are: Bernie followers are equally positive and equally negative with every other candidate follower in the primary. Bernie Bros are a myth. That tells me there are Bernie Bros. People who tweet about politics are unsurprisingly negative but the BBs take to twitter way out of proportion to their relative strength. Link to comment

Which would make him all the more ripe of a target to take advantage of for savvy players with nefarious ends. We saw that with Cheney and Bush. 1 Link to comment

Love how you pop out two false statements and act like they’re common knowledge. Don’t forget Hoffa is buried at the 50 in Giants stadium. 4 1 Link to comment

Come on, 90% of the posts in these forums are just people posting their thoughts/opinions and ripping on politicians And I thought Hoffa was buried in the endzone???. Link to comment

teachercd Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 I remember the good old days where if you said a negative comment about a politician (well, a Democrat politician) that moderator Zaags would come on in and delete it...then PM you...then give you a vacation. Ahhh the memories. With that said. Biden is slipping. Those of us with older parents have seen how it goes. Link to comment

TGHusker Posted April 8, 2020 Author Share Posted April 8, 2020 Shock Poll: But then again, Biden has been sheltered away in his house while Trump is on the air every day with his campaign er I mean his crisis press conference. Specific details found in the linked article. https://zogbyanalytics.com/news/927-the-zogby-poll-voters-give-a-slight-edge-to-trump-versus-biden-in-who-is-better-equipped-to-handle-pandemic-cuomo-is-the-highest-rated-politician-at-handling-the-coronavirus-crisis-trump-rated-higher-than-sanders-and-biden-for-his-response-to-the-pandemic Quote The Zogby Poll®: Voters give slight edge to Trump vs. Biden in who is better equipped to handle pandemic; Cuomo is the highest rated politician at handling the coronavirus crisis; Trump rated higher than Sanders and Biden for his response to the pandemic Quote A slight majority (51%) of likely voters thought Donald Trump was better equipped "mentally and physically," than Joe Biden (49%), to handle the coronavirus pandemic. Voters in the south were much more likely to believe Trump was in better shape, physically and mentally, to handle the coronavirus pandemic than Joe Biden, while voters in the Central/Great Lakes and West were more confident in Joe Biden's ability and stamina to handle the current crisis.
