Bernie Sanders
Related: About this forumWho here would switch to Biden if he jumps in the race?
I find that unbelievable. There's an article in Bloomberg
that says just that...

Time for real change.

(45,251 posts)Let me elaborate some.
I admire this man enormously and have tons of affection for him. However, he is a sensible woodchuck. Nonetheless, he says he just cannot vote for Hillary. He still had not committed to vote for Sanders, on grounds of electability in the general, though he claims Sanders is closest to him philosophically. (What I call Sanders BUTter.) However, he was almost there....until the Biden rumors started. At that point, he got very excited and said he would vote for Biden.
I realize it is only one example. However, I think there is an ABH segment out there that likes to believe they are very liberal, just practical and don't wish to see a Republican win, yadda yadda.
Being ABH, they would have gone for Sanders or O'Malley. However, if Biden throws his hat in the ring, they will be very relieved to be able to vote for him. I just do not know how large that segment is.

(16,685 posts)Not a fucking chance. I'm more enthusiastic about Hillary than I am Joe. At least we'd make history again with our first female president. This attempt to manufacture Joementum v.II is ludicrous.
