Well to be a devil's advocate, I don't think CNN or MSNBC will be granting him a town-hall anytime soon. Take what you can get I guess. And it's not like you have to be a regular Fox News viewer to see it. The article notes that a town-hall on Fox News wouldn't be helpful because undecided democrat primary voters don't watch Fox News. But they can still check it out on YouTube or something.
Isn't this something that would only hold value in the general election?
I get that his last Fox Town Hall was a "success" with a lot of media attention.
But now in the primary I would think you harvest what you have been building up during the primary, not trying to relaunch. There can only be one Comeback Kid this late in the game.
But I guess he has to do what he can to be digging his way, digging his way to something, digging his way to something better.

The horse race doesn't matter. Biden is going to be the nominee. Bernie's candidacy is over. Dems getting buyer's remorse as these primaries march on might not be the worst case scenario but it would be a bad one. .
It's just such a sad system that of all those people that declared themselves to be candidates, the one that's going to emerge has failed in two presidential runs, and is showing major signs of decline. Even sadder is that despite that, he probably does have the best chance to beat Trump.
It seems like the two best ways to become a major party nominee during my lifetime is to be a master politician like Bill Clinton, Obama, and Trump, or to simply hang around for a very long time like Dole, Kerry, McCain, and Hillary. And unfortunately, Biden falls into the second category. Here's hoping he gets a better outcome that than those four did.
how many times did Reagan run?
HW Bush?
Nixon?
I think they all ran once and lost a primary before going on to win.
I also think they were coherent during the years when they won.

Nixon lost to Kennedy in 60.
If only Nixon had a better razor.
Or Daley didn't control Chicago
Or Russians wanted him to win.

The Biden’s should tell them to shove it up your ass. And the House should respond in kind with an investigation into Moscow Mitchy Baby and his wife and Russian mining and smelting operations in Kentucky. Lets really go after the corruption.

And “gato fumidor” is who exactly? And those alleged twitter “screenshots?” Sure. It didn’t take that to have me wondering why women don’t come forward.

Democrats ran an old, white, straight woman in 2016 and lost. They are now going to run an old(er), straight, white man in 2020. Both are the clear choice of the most moderate elements of the party. Maybe the result will be different this time. I really hope it will. But we have been here before.
No. We have not been here before.
We weren't electing Clinton after a Trump. We were electing Clinton after an Obama, where everyone either got lazy/apathetic (didn't vote), or they got insatiable for more than what Obama accomplished (supported Bernie), or they felt so much antipathy toward Clinton that they voted for Trump in the general.
Clinton didn't lose to Trump because she was a horrible candidate. She lost because not enough people could imagine how horrible a Trump presidency would be, even with all the evidence right in front of them. I don't think the voters will allow it to happen again. That's why they are drifting to Biden, and that's why turnout is way up. They know they can't stay home (turnout), they know gluttony leads to disease (Sanders losses), and they know Joe Biden is basically a good guy, notwithstanding his sniffs and hugs and dentures and all that either makes us laugh or groan.

Plus the fact that a lot of people figured Hillary would win so they didn't bother to show up at the voting booth. In 2020, it's REALLY important for people to show up and vote.

I always remember that Joe Biden is more progressive than many realize/remember. He can be moderate but also progressive. I'm ok with voting for that because he's a decent man and we need that.
Biden's not pure as the driven snow, and I don't agree on every single policy stance he's taken
what do?
Are you sure? lol j/k. There are no perfect human beings...not a single one...even though some think they are. There's a wave happening out there, I think, and if that's true, I'm really enjoying seeing people rise up with their vote.
And about Pete from someone's post...one thing I caught when Joe Biden was accepting Pete's endorsement is that he used the phrase "deep bench" in talking about Pete's future in the party. I really liked what Pete said while campaigning as I did for most of them but experience is important to me. I would absolutely vote for Pete in the future. I'm also looking forward to Joe Biden bringing many of his primary opponents into a Biden administration.

What if I'm in New York, want to get to Chicago, and the two buses are going to Phoenix and LA?
Then in this analogy New York = tRUmp
You need to figure out whether or not you want to stay in New York.
Otherwise, it's off to Phoenix or LA.
Meh. I'm not voting for Trump or Bernie/Biden. Hopefully Amash or someone similarly respectable jumps in on the Libertarian side. Otherwise it will just be ballot questions and other races for me.
