This would immediately make every other dem almost a non-factor besides Sanders. Back to the standard old white dudes duking it out for control of the country. I like it and I hate it because the better candidates all have no chance, but I think Biden thumps Trump in a general. Not even close.
Agreed however his resume is pretty damn impressive.
You are wrong. He is a known entity. But he could be gone after the first debate.
You don’t think Biden has a solid resume?
He does. And I know he lost twice before, but this time he has "Vice President to Obama" on his resume. That can't hurt. I don't know whether he'll win the nomination, but I think he'll stick around for a while.

I don't agree that the rest will be a non-factor.
He had a solid resume last time when he ran and lost.
Biden has the Obama legacy and a bigger name recognition then the rest right now. I don't think those factors will matter enough to make other dems "almost a non-factor" after the first debate and the newscycle following it.
"Mostly I think that people react sensitively because they know you’ve got a point"
Every time I hear this discussion I am once again floored by how judgemental people are about someone’s decision to stay in a marriage, and the assumptions people make about said marriage.
I don't recall your point of view on this, but do you assume the best of Melania for sticking with Trump? She gets ragged on all the time as well.
Why would anyone want any woman to stay with Trump...

Hey but don’t dare make an analogy about divorced dads.
The kinda comment days later that makes you nothing more than the Fox News / National Enquirer of the board.
The kind of thread that makes me wonder if you would have started the thread if it was Melania commenting on Obama. Good to see that days later you’re still wringing your hands. Buck up buttercup, it’ll be okay.

One person said Biden’s advisers are also considering an early event in Charlottesville, Virginia, the site of a deadly clash between white supremacists and counterprotesters in 2017. The location would be intended to draw a contrast between Biden and President Donald Trump, who initially said there were some “very fine people on both sides” of the violent confrontation.

Kind of the polar opposite of Reagan opening his 80 campaign in Selma, talking about states rights.
ALL OF THE DEMOCRATIC presidential candidates have committed to rejecting the influence of special interests. To demonstrate their resolve, several of the candidates have promised to power their White House ambitions without a single dollar of lobbyist money.
In the waves of small-dollar donations reported on Monday — the first financial disclosure reporting period of the 2020 presidential race — lobbyist money had made its way into the coffers of major candidates’ campaigns.
Beto O’Rourke is one of the candidates who had pledge to run a campaign financed only by regular people — “not PACs, not lobbyists, not corporations, and not special interests.” His latest filing, however, shows that he accepted donations from a federal utility-company lobbyist and a top Chevron lobbyist in New Mexico.
Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., has also collected donations from registered corporate lobbyists in South Carolina, New York, and California. Several technology lobbyists from San Francisco have given to her campaign. Another Harris donor, Robert Crowe, from the firm, Nelson Mullins Riley & Scarborough, is a federal lobbyist who has worked to influence Congress on behalf of pipeline firm EQT Corporation and Alphabet, the parent company of Google.
Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., similarly announced that he would eschew campaign donations from federal lobbyists, and his campaign appears to be making most of the caveat about “federal” lobbyists. Though he has returned donations from lobbyists registered under the federal government’s system, Booker has taken half a dozen donations from lobbyists registered under state and municipal lobbyist registration laws, but who do not appear in federal disclosures.
The pledge to reject lobbyist cash is completely voluntary and self-defined. O’Rourke has made blanket statements that he will reject all donations from lobbyists. Harris has made promises in emails to her supporters to reject all lobbyist donations and, in other emails, to only reject donations from federal lobbyists. Booker’s campaign website only specifies that he will not accept money from federal lobbyists.
The flow of lobby cash comes in many forms. Some comes from registered lobbyists, others from individuals who are clearly lobbyists but have chosen not to register with a federal system rife with loopholes.
The Lobbying Disclosure Act, which governs the criteria over federal lobbyist registration, is notoriously easy to evade and historically poorly enforced. Many professional corporate influence peddlers — well-aware of the porous definitions set out in the statute — simply choose not to register.

This is all well and good for the primaries, but it could be a substantial problem come general election time.
gonna have to see equitable money from the general population for it to work. distasteful as it is, money gets shit done. its not pragmatic to eschew those types of funding sources. in fact if such sources were petty it could work against a given candidate.

Biden has the Obama legacy and a bigger name recognition then the rest right now. I don't think those factors will matter enough to make other dems "almost a non-factor" after the first debate and the newscycle following it.
