The Joe Biden 2020 tracker thread (8 Viewers)

A place for all the gaffs, slip-ups and overall outlandish things Democratic candidates will say or do in lead up to the 2020 Election.

I wonder if Warren will drop out. Pete is getting more votes than her.

Can't see her dropping out before Super Tuesday. Same goes for Klobuchar.

Operation chaos didn’t do much for Bernie. Some polls showed Bernie was only a little behind Biden, but it appears that Biden will beat him by 30%! The only concern is that Biden seems to Ben leading in all of the red states, which doesn’t nothing for the general election. I wish every state in the general election wasn’t required to split their electorates based on percentage of the vote earned, because then Biden could still earn some electorates if he happens to be the nominee.

I heard some here talking about doing the same thing. I hope I wasn't wrong in telling them only registered Democrats could vote in the primary in Louisiana. Only thing, plenty of dems in Louisiana are dems because they're Dixiecrats who always vote Republican.

So there are some Republicans voting for Sanders in the open primary in SC today as part of what they call 'Operation Chaos', an attempt to get what they view as the weakest challenger to face Trump.

I mean..have these people never seen an 'its a trap' meme? It kind of defies logic, considering Sanders doesn't need the help.

I also wonder how many of these folks actually would consider voting for Sanders vs Trump if he becomes the nominee.

I don't like that idea. I don't want to encourage socialists.

I wonder if, yet again, we're going to see states that will have zero effect on the Presidential race end up choosing the nominee.
Winning the Dem primary in SC is like winning most popular Falcons fan at the Superdome.

Tom Steyer dropped out... and went out dancing??



(technically this was before he dropped out - maybe this was the final nail)

He should personally pay some reparations for that.

Eh I think he owes all of us.

Dude really?

If you don't want people to use the racist card on the trump supporter. Just maybe the trump supporter should not say questionable thing joke or not.

Well that’s unexpected.

I know he had gotten sick, but I'm curious what's going on. I wonder if he's been offered a VP run and he decided to take it? CNN is calling it a "campaign suspension" not dropping out.

EDIT: Now they're reporting he's dropping out.

I’m a bit surprised but not too much. He needed to drop out. Your turn Klobuchar and Warren.

You seem like the kind of person that Jerry Seinfeld, Chris Rock and Dave Chappelle have talked about.

Yes but no
Warren needs to stay in
I’m fine with Bernie being the progressive bullhorn, but EW articulates the ideas
Plus it doesn’t need to be an ‘old white guy off’ this early

First I’ve heard of him being sick, then again I’ve been pretty tuned out over the last couple days.

In any case, this news sucks... I think Pete was our best chance of getting people inspired, and not just voting for whoever’s better than Trump (which is literally anyone.)

Guess Liz gets my vote now.
