    I'm still not voting for that creep Joe Biden.  #BACKTHEFUCKUP

    be careful with talk like that around here lol


    Joe might have a slight problem on his hands

    24% after two weeks of bad publicity and still no announcement?  I wouldn't say he has a problem. This is the first national poll I think I've seen.  It would be interesting is emerson has polled before the issue and if Joe moved down. 
    Don't care about the poll #... thats all based on name recognition right now.... i'm.concerned because i see a progressive poster on here saying no chance he votes for him.... there are more Tikis out there i'm betting.... not the smooth takeoff Joe was hoping for
    Tiki - Trump, Biden or stay home?
    And same question to all the progressives here..
    All of us vote Joe over Donald...

    The better question is Joe vs the other Democrats and will he make it to the ticket... i personally think Joe gives the dems the best shot, but i'm worried he could potentially get beat in the primary now

    Biden all the way. I m still undecided about Beto (I would vote him over trump) , I can’t stand booker.  
    I'll ride the wave where it takes me......

    That will work itself out. It doesn't matter if the launch was smooth or not or whether progressives love him or not.  We'll figure it out in the primary,  and then coalesce. 

    I interpreted your post that you're worried about Tiki voting in the general.  Im not worried about Biden in that position. If that wasn't your point then all good.

    Not a huge fan of Biden as president.

    If I could vote, no question it would be Biden over Trump. That's a no brainer.

    "Stupid games"? 

    I was watching the Fox clip and copied the link... don't know why some other clip is linked instead... maybe it just switched when I copied or something. I have never seen that clip even that was pasted nstead.

    So sorry for the wrong link -- but I'm not playing *"stupid games".

    Weld is the first major intra-party challenger against a sitting president since Pat Buchanan took on George H.W. Bush.

    No surprise.  Ten percent of the party is put off that he’s such a clown.  But I don’t see him losing a state primary.  HW didn’t in 1992.

    Pete: "I believe in democratic capitalism". What the hell is that. 

    "Democratic Capitalism" sounds like a way to lure moderates and republicans? "DON'T MENTION "SOCIALISM"!. Is it to contrast other candidates like Bernie that is more outspoken progressive and who's not afraid to say that Europe (with its democratic socialistic tradition) does things differently for a good reason (health care etc)?

    Thank god for the Social Democratic values that has run through and shaped this country for the last 100+ years.

    I'M CLOSE TO JUMPING SHIP ON PETE!

    CNN (Erin Burnett) had a former HRC 2016 communications person and a Trump 2020 staffer talking about since how Bernie has amassed such a fortune with his book he's a hypocrite.

    So many realities.
