It will be fun watching the Bernie lovers take aim at Biden.

[trumad]

I already see it happening.

[Bonobo]

1. It would represent political consistency to do so/

And it would also make sense since he would be ahead of Bernie in most polls I think.

[libodem]

2. .

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

3. Why shouldn't we? He and Hillary cut from the same cloth.

[jeff47]

4. Fucking ideological consistency. What's up with that?!

Clearly Sanders supporters should love a guy who voted for the AUMF, made bankruptcy much worse, put Thomas on the SCOTUS and voted for an amendment to overturn Roe!

[frylock]

30. Don't forget the RAVE Act

[Autumn]

5. Any supporter of any candidate will take aim at the opposing candidate.

That's the nature of the beast. Biden isn't going to run though so it's irrelevant.

[ibegurpard]

6. I already have

He's the same as Clinton on policy, less exciting, and we make no history with his candidacy. If he's "plan B" then just hand the White House keys to the pukes right now.

[whatchamacallit]

7. It'll be fun watching diehard Hillary supporters shriek and crap their pantsuits n/t

[MindfulOne]

13. "I already see it happening"

And it is NOT pretty!

[virtualobserver]

26. as a precaution they need to avoid the pastels

and stick with the darker hues

[kenfrequed]

8. Eh...

The real rage against Biden comes more from the Hillary camp.

Personally, as a Bernie supporter, I do not think Biden is going to run.

[Armstead]

9. It will also be fun to watch "Clinton lovers" take aim at Biden too

It's already started. Clinton has already shifted responsibility for her vote on the bankruptcy bill by blaming it on Biden's advice.

[Renew Deal]

10. Most of them are Hillary haters

So they might egg them on knowing they will lose whether he runs or not.

[Snotcicles]

11. I don't think we would even be talking about Biden if John Edwards hadn't made such a mess of things

But at least he told the president what was coming down, cuz shit sure hit the fan quick right after their meeting.

[L. Coyote]

12. It will be more fun watching them switch to Biden.

[djean111]

18. Switch to someone so ideologically close to Hillary?

War, banks, wall Street? Anita Hill?
That is some wishful thinking, IMO.
Unless you really honestly believe that the only reason Bernie has supporters is because they "hate Hillary". You would be wrong, but I have seen that expressed elsewhere, that the only reason people support bernie is because they hate Hillary, and the issues do not matter.

[tularetom]

25. If I have to decide between Biden and Hillary in a primary election

I will let a coin do my thinking for me, because it really is a choice between twiddle dumb and twiddle dumber.

[Capt. Obvious]

14. My, you're hungry today

[NV Whino]

15. Well, he's going to have to actually run first.

[Fred Sanders]

16. The dream of '60's hipsters for a socialist paradise in America will never die!

[Snotcicles]

17. Gotta have some hope for America. nt

[BlueWaveDem]

19. The gentrification of the Democratic party?

[frylock]

31. Why are Sanders supporters so mean and nasty?

[Major Hogwash]

20. Times up: He's a racist.

That didn't take long, did it?

[WillyT]

21. Well... We're Gonna Have To Wait Our Turn... Camp Weathervane Is Already Going There...

22. Back in 1991 I didn't know Bernie Sanders from adam

But I knew that Biden was the chairman of the senate judiciary committee and the guy who groveled to Clarence Thomas during his confirmation hearings.

That was a shameful performance.

[99Forever]

23. Yessir...

....them meal ol Senator Sanders supporters having the audacity to use facts from a candidate's history tp vett them.


Tje fucking nerve of em!

[Prism]

24. Nice guy, terribly wrong policies

I wish him well in whatever he decides to do at the end of his vice-presidency. It's hard to dislike him personally. It's easy to dislike some of the things he's advocated - especially in regards to average Americans' financial well-being.

[AgingAmerican]

27. Not necessary

nt

[totodeinhere]

28. Actually it's Clinton supporters taking aim at Biden.

Hillary Clinton Camp Is Making Moves to Check Joe Biden.

Hillary Rodham Clinton’s campaign, increasingly worried about the threat of a challenge from Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr., is making a sudden and urgent effort to throw roadblocks into his path.

[INdemo]

29. Don't think we will have to be concernsd

About that because in all probability Biden is not running. If he runs he will wait until after debate? So then what will be next reason for delay?
I think the corporate media is pushing the idea that he is running but that idea is running out of steam

[frylock]

32. Link to where you already see it happening?

[trumad]

33. To easy.

[AtomicKitten]

34. His candidacy will sink or float based on his record, just like everybody else. <nt>

[Zorra]

35. Well done! Ravens and Crows are the perfect totems for Bernie supporters!

36. bernie doesn't need to "aim"

that's the wonderful thing about having fantastic policies that people support. You just have to keep talking about them and point out the differences between your policies and the others. no reason to aim to anybody. But I understand it's difficult for Hillary supporters to understand since her candidacy is so void of substance all that is left is aim and destroy

must be a tough way to campaign

[karynnj]

37. The nastiest primaries are when there is little difference between the candiates

Here there is a big difference - on issues between Bernie and Biden. I assume that any attempts to win people from Biden to Bernie will be based on issues. By that I do not mean phony issues ginned up for politics, but two very very different voting records. Bernie has been as far to the left as any Democrat -- and Biden was slightly to the right of HRC - with the likes of Evan Bayh.

I assume that most Bernie supporters will have no trouble keeping things to difference on issues, while being fully aware that Biden is a very nice man, with great integrity.

Meanwhile, he and HRC pretty much occupy the same political space -- and both have strong claims to experience at the highest level of government. There are major differences - HRC is a woman and a reason she is having problems is that she is seen as having baggage. So, where do you think Biden's supporters have to go ... and why do I think the Clintons will fire back in kind?
