Biden Supporters: What type of campaign do you think Joe Biden would run?

[Skwmom]

I will say that I think it would be a big mistake for people to try to attack him personally OR his family.

If they think they are having trouble with the women's vote now, just try pulling that crap.

1. I will never forget what he did to Anita Hill.

He was one of the good-old-boys who patted her on the head and scooted her out the door with arrogance and the power that came with an all male government.

[Skwmom]

3. That happened how many years ago? n/t

[Evergreen Emerald]

5. Not enough time has passed for me.

14. True but then he was being the Violence Against Women Act

politicians end up doing so many things. And he's been there so long.

2. A brief history of Biden's failed presidential campaigns.

1. 1988: campaign was already in disarray when he plagiarized Neil Kinnock, and then it turned out he had a history of plagiarism. Did not finish.

2. 2008: "articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy". Campaign was already in disarray when Biden inserted foot, leg, torso, neck and head into mouth. Did not finish.

4. Obviously, President Obama didn't hold it against him.

1988 was how many decades ago?

[Warren Stupidity]

6. the point is that Biden has a clear history of being an absolutely terrible candidate.

[Skwmom]

8. Compared to the current establishment candidate

of choice. Edited to clarify.

[Warren Stupidity]

10. what part of the establishment is Biden not a part of?

[Skwmom]

12. But he is not the current establishment candidate. And the Clinton political team

seems to be an island unto itself.

And as SOS, I think one can hardly argue that the Clintons didn't do their own thing.

15. LOL

maybe the third time is a charm?

[DCBob]

7. He wont say it directly but his theme will be a continuation of Barack Obama admin.

If you liked the past 7 years.. then you should vote for me... something like that.

[Skwmom]

9. But will he run a sleazy, underhanded, smear campaign that others

have no problem engaging in?

[DCBob]

11. No.

[bigwillq]

13. A pretty awful one

based on his previous presidential campaigns. Hopefully he learned some lessons but I have a feeling Mr. Gaffe has not.

[MisterP]

16. his strength would be infrastructure--he's always known as Mr. Amtrak

but if he brings up debt and deficit everyone will remember his interning for MBNA on the Senate floor, and "he HAS to represent corporate as much as real constituents" will leave quite the bad taste; "I voted for IWR" could've been permissible in 2004 but voters of any "information level" are gonna have heard of ISIS

17. If he's smart he'll portray himself as the "not as bad" as Hillary and "not as radical" as Bernie.

If he does run (I think he will) I'll see him as "the not quite as bad" as Hillary and the "not radical enough" candidate.
