Joe Biden is a stronger candidate than many in the media initially wanted to acknowledge. The association with Obama is probably the single most valuable asset any candidate can have in a presidential primary race. He's not "Hillary 2.0" either. My item:https://spectator.us/joe-biden-2020-blow/ …

Another key advantage Biden has that Hillary lacked:https://twitter.com/ThePlumLineGS/status/1126940488756494337 …

And another advantage I forgot to mention in the piece: Biden recently shut down his personal "foundation," which was nowhere near the scope of the Clinton Foundation -- which the Clintons refused to shut down in 2016, leading to (accurate) accusations of nepotism and corruption

It’s amazing to me how quick people are to scream that I’m somehow “shilling” for Biden, as if I suddenly decided that I love him and want him to be president. No, I’m just trying to describe the dynamics operative in a Democratic primary. Descriptive vs normative: look it up

Which was rejected soundly in 2016. If Biden is going to run as a white Obama 2.0 he will be blown out even more than Hillary's version of Obama 2.0 was. Obama's policies destroyed our economy & ripped our nation apart. There's no way we're going backwards. Accept that.

That’s why he’s a huge risk to run in the general, yes. But it’s also why he’s the favorite to win the Dem primary

Once one of the little girls he groped on CSPAN write an op-Ed about their experience he’s done.

Just an anecdote channeling the self-esteemed, Thomas Friedman, my Uber driver today (Hispanic/black/female) became animated when I mentioned Sanders’ support for Uber drivers, like I had just whispered a shared secret. She asked me to read his statement. Also Said Biden=Trump
-
I realize that the plural of anecdote is still anecdote, but her passion “I love Bernie” was so unexpected and genuine that I wanted to share it somewhere. Also her antipathy for Biden as another Trump, “he’s not Obama” was also unambiguous.

Historically, Biden's policies, and donors, have been harmful. Plus, this is not the time to go with "Status Quo Joe". We need big, bold change, and pols like Pelosi and Biden are always putting their hands up in my face. That's not progress.

we now know that most of those policies were bad, including separating families at the border, "disincentivizing" people at the border, guns in natl parks, the sequester, on and on. Then there were those speeches to bankers we're gonna glom onto like BULLDOGS!

Considering Obama's policies are wildly unpopular outside of California, I think we can just consider Trump's second term locked down.

Except from what I can glean from polls Biden's main appeal is his 'electability' - which is not really a thing. And when people hear about his past - particularly Black women - who are a key constituency for him - they look elsewhere. He could very well have a glass jaw

And Bernie will have to go after whatever happened during the Obama administration- which he might, largely because he is not going to run again.

And most voters really don't closely follow the minutiae of policy.

Drone assassinations, massive deportation of immigrants, continued subsidies for fossil fuel companies, endless wars, pandering to corporate interests, persecutions of whistle blowers,... yeah, all those policies. Not what I'm looking for, or voting for.

Why do you think people care about policies? Obama was a young, charismatic black man who won largely on identity-politics issues. "Hope and Change". Biden is an old white guy completely devoid of identity-politics bonus points and exudes neither hope, change or charisma.
