The Joe Biden 2020 tracker thread (3 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.

Regardless of how you feel about the Democratic establishment, they certainly have reason to want to primary AOC.

Bless your heart!

That is just special they should try and push out the progressive youngster. Heck need to do it fast before all the old people die.

And I don’t think there’s enough separation between Biden and Harris- he needs someone further left - Stacey Abrams seems to check the most boxes

I would be fine with that, as I like Stacey Abrams a lot, but personally I'd rather to see someone tougher and more serious to balance out Biden's goofiness that he can't seem to put a lid on.

I think the reason Harris had a hard time getting any real traction in the black community is because the black community looks at her as one who locked them up.

I personally like her but I don't see how she could help any Joe has the black vote.

I can't remember her name but that gov that gave the state of the union response is in the mix for sure.

That may be part of it

I think it's more that her sister (sister in law?) had no business running her campaign

Bless my heart? I'm not the one who desperately wants her gone. That's the party you will probably end up supporting.

It’ll be Klobuchar. A woman from a Midwest state who’s been elected to a statewide office. No brainer.

I would be good with that. Although most voters didn't even give her a chance, she was the most impressive person in her debates and I am disappointed that I didn't get a chance to vote for her.

That'd be my guess as well.

Biden and Klobuchar seem too monolithic to me, in the sense that they both attract the same kind of voter. Biden already has good voter pull with working class voters. Those seem to be the same voters that Klobochar attracts. He also has good pull with Black voters, so he doesn't need her help with those voters.

Where he doesn't do well is with progressives and Hispanics. I'm not sure how Klobachar would help him with either of those two constituencies since she struggled a lot with those two groups herself. My guess is she would increase the appeal of the ticket with women voters, but I'm not really sure how much he was struggling with them.

 

[Booker]

Consider that Trump won white women four years ago, Harris and Warren are from safe states, and Abrams just isn’t ready to be president. Klobuchar — no brainer.

That's certainly possible. I live in Minnesota currently, and I'm honestly not a big fan of Klobuchar (her policies are fine, but I find her quite unlikable as a person). She's obviously a competent and serious person, however, so I doubt she'd hurt his ticket. It wouldn't excite me, but it would be OK.

Tons of goobers on twitter think she's going to get primaried. I can't see it happening./

Someone already announced they were running to unseat her. I believe 13 total are running.

Why do you desperately want her gone?

smart women are not his bag

She's more centrist than Harris.

My first choice would be Kamala. I think Abrams is too green for the national spotlight being VP would require.

 

[GrandAdmiral]

Ohio has cancelled Tuesday's primary. Arizona, Florida, and Illinois still seem to be on track.

 

[Heathen]

Primaries during a pandemic.

This won't end well.

Hah, I think she's been great at making the Democratic party look bad. Having said that, I think ideally she would be shown the door in 2020 as she will have been usefull for alienating voters and causing problems for the Democratic party and perhaps her failure to get reelected will send a signal that voters have seen enough of politicians like her.

But, if she's reelected we can look forward to a couple of more years of AOC memes.
