      It's not a gaffe. It's a strategy (maybe motivated partly out of pique and more instinctual than deliberate) to appeal to the sorts of Democrats who aren't very well represented on Twitter. And it might work. The crowd seemed to like it.https://twitter.com/ryanlcooper/status/1114199934956445696 …

      This strategy *wouldn't* work for, say, Bernie or Beto or Booker, because they're relying on younger, "woker" Democrats. But around 25-30% of the Democratic primary electorate consists of voters who are Baby Boomers or older and without a college degree.

      I think this is right. Twitter is not at all representative of the electorate as a whole. But younger/woker voters are a significant slice of the electorate, especially for Dems. So at some point he needs to bring them over.

      In fact, the last Democratic presidential candidate literally lost because she underperformed among millennials (thanks in part to cagey GOP voter discouragement). Biden's tactic is maybe short term smart but long term very risky.

          Every Trump->Biden voter voter is worth two Millennials that didn't vote though

          Yep. The bet that the pro-harassment vote is going to trend Biden over Trump is not one I’d make.

          Replying to @HeerJeet @joshtpm @NateSilver538

          Let's be real, this isn't a "tactic," he's just incapable of real contrition. The joke about Lonnie can play with normies. The second one about the kid is kind of creepy and going to get roasted online. Neither is particularly responsive to MeToo or younger women. That's a risk.

          It's both. It's who he's always been. He doesn't think he did anything wrong (again). And he's intentionally playing it as a laugh line.
