No, but the poster said Biden can't draw them in. Well I'd argue if they are available to be drawn in, he's the one to do it, not Sanders.

Look at Romney's 2012 numbers and then at Trump's 2016 numbers. Fox News and the Senate will wage war on Biden for 8 months.

Depending on them to defect in significant numbers is dangerous.
And interestingly, Biden won MN, ME and MA which Bernie won last time. And Sanders won California. The only consistent theme thus far is Sanders weakness with black votes.

Yes, your'e right on MA. It blended in there. What do you mean by 'strategy' then? Voters aren't writing a strategy and following it. They're voting and the candidates and donors are reacting to the votes.JimmyV said:

I mean assuming Republicans will turn out for Diden for one, and thinking the AA vote will be Obama-esque for two. Beating Bernie is fine, but beating Trump is what matters. What gets lost when the Dem nominee spends his time trying to win over classically Republican voters? Voters who may not help anymore this year than they did four years ago. HRC fully expected Republican women to be there for her and they weren't. Thinking it will be different this time is risky.mrussel1 said:

A nominee who tries to be all things to all constituencies never appears genuine, because they never are. I rather we try to keep the left on board than make overtures to the right.___________________________________________

In my opinion, Biden has been an advocate for the moderate/Obama wing of the party. That's where I sit. It's not like his policies are classically republican, they're absolutely left of center. I think there's a hope that Independents and some Republicans (think, the Jennifer Rubins, Bill Kristols, John Kasichs of the world) will swallow their pride and accept moderate policies because they find Trump so repugnant personally and intellectually. But no one is advocating republican positions to win them over, least of all Biden.JimmyV said:

Think Kasich, Schwarzenegger and Kerry and their warzero campaign. They, and like minded individuals, see Biden as an ally. The Bush/Romney wing of the repub party detests Team Trump Treason. Sleepy “Woke” Joe will get some of them, hopefully enough to counter the pouty Berniebrosises.mrussel1 said:

This is my main concern about Joe. Is he going to excite and galvanize support out side of registered Democrats. I don’t see him garnering the outside support of republicans willing to hold their nose and vote Trump out, or hard core Sanders or bust types, I don’t see him getting independent swing voters to the polls either. I hope I am wrong, but I really think that the Dems are kidding themselves that Biden is the candidate to beat Trump. I’m by no means sure Bernie could be that candidate either, but he does manage to energize people which is something I just don’t see Biden doing.mrussel1 said:
There were 20 candidates. It wasn't a 'lesser of two evils' choice. It's not like Biden swept Tuesday by overloading the media with ads either. He spent a fraction of what Sanders spent, yet people came out in droves for Biden. What we're seeing is that for majority of voters in the Democratic party, they just aren't as dissatisfied with the old guard as the Republicans were. In fact, the vast majority of the party look fondly upon the Obama/Biden administration. The same could not be said about the Bush admin.static111 said:
💯 agreement on thisLedbetterman10 said:
In 2012 I looked at Mitt Romney as "the best the GOP could do." I envisioned that from there-on-out, the Dems would be consistently running young, charismatic candidates for President, and the GOP would be doomed with the likes of Romney, Jeb, etc....just old party-loyalists that stuck around long enough to rise to the top.static111 said:2020 and Creepy Joe is the best we can do....sad
Well that sure flipped. While Trump certainly isn't young, he's charismatic, not a party-loyalist, and yet the GOP loves him. The Dems on the other hand? Hillary and Biden. Hillary was fine (no charisma, but a reasonable-enough candidate for president). Biden WAS fine if he ran in 2016, but I think his time has passed.
But Biden fits my "old party-loyalist that stuck around long enough to rise to the top" criteria. Just as Romney, John McCain, John Kerry, and Bob Dole did. I'm sure you remember how all of those guys did in their general elections....
I know Obamas don't grow on trees, but it's pretty concerning (if you're a democrat) how little they've built up potential candiates both during Obama's presidency, and over the past four years.
Of the 3 remaining candidates Biden is the only one getting over 50% in head to head polling.
That is evidence Biden is doing best with independents.0 -

C'mon JV I thought I had you convinced ;-)
Believe it or not, you are making Hillary's argument, but from 2008 not 2016. Hillary won traditional democratic states, so hillary should get the nomination. Obama won most red states in the south and from IL to WA and most states in between which are mostly GOP states.
And obama won the nomination. By 0.1%
so far Biden is running that obama nomination playbook (very similar states with AA support), with one important distinction:
Biden is doing it much better than obama did.
(Also I think the dems are doing much better now with suburban voters).

NEIL YOUNG IS TRULY THE GIFT THAT KEEPS ON GIVING
“If Bernie had run instead of Hillary Clinton, we would not have the incompetent mess we have now.”(Neil Young)“Every point he makes is what I believe in”
“I support Bernie because I listen to what he says,” Young said. “Every point he makes is what I believe in. Every one. In 2016, if Bernie had run instead of Hillary Clinton, I think we would not have the incompetent mess we have now.”
Going on to accuse the Democrat Party of “pulling every political string” to prevent Sanders becoming their candidate both this year and during the 2016 election, Young said that he regrets registering as a Democrat when he became an American citizen in January.
