https://thehill.com/opinion/campaign/443767-joe-biden-can-win-the-white-house?ampPut simply, Biden can win both the Democratic nomination and the White House in the election next year. Despite the concerns surrounding his candidacy and the perils of a long political track record, he is likely the only candidate in the field right now who would be able to beat Trump, and it is clear many Democratic voters recognize that. As the primaries unfold, one can hope that voters will, as much as possible, side step the noise and confusion that are inevitable in a primary with 22 candidates.
Let me be clear, I am not against the primary process, nor am I here to endorse Biden or any other candidate for the moment. Candidates must speak out, and we should have debates over key issues such as health care and climate change. However, if the result of that process is that Biden garners the clear vote of Democrats, we should as a party unite around him in a way that gives us a maximum chance to beat Trump, who is now weakened by the trade war he has created and fueled with China, as well as by potential conflicts with Iran, North Korea, and Venezuela...
You can do it Joe.....

The last one should have slayed the last runner-up by being aggressive in the primaries.
Joe Biden will not make that mistake. He is wearing boxing gloves.
Also, the people have become very wise about the tactics of the last runner-up. He is going down in polls more rapidly than an avalanche in the Rockies.

(43,347 posts)Schoen became a political analyst for Fox News and a columnist for Newsmax. In 2010, he authored a book on the Tea Party movement with Scott Rasmussen.
Schoen has identified as a member of the Democratic party, but has frequently criticized the party and taken positions on various political topics at odds with the party's views. Schoen's critics have called his identification as a Democrat "phony" and calculated to help his Fox news career. Steve Benen called Schoen the quintessential "Fox News Democrat" and said he is "actively hostile towards [Democrats] and the partys agenda."
Schoen says that lower taxes would be a successful Democratic strategy, opposed President Barack Obama's Affordable Care Act, and said that President Obama should not run for reelection in 2012.
He has stated that President Obama divided the country along partisan lines, and said that the Affordable Care Act has been a "disaster" for the Democratic Party.
Schoen has been critical of the Occupy Wall Street protest movement. In a Wall Street Journal op-ed, he wrote, "President Obama and the Democratic leadership are making a critical error in embracing the Occupy Wall Street movementand it may cost them the 2012 election." He believes that the protesters represent "an unrepresentative segment of the electorate that believes in radical redistribution of wealth, civil disobedience and, in some instances, violence," and that their common bond is "a deep commitment to left-wing policies." Schoen believes that the Democratic Party should not appeal to voters who support taxing oil companies and the rich, but rather to voters in the middle who want lower taxes. On October 30, 2016, Schoen pulled his support of Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, citing his concern of a "constitutional crisis" due to Secretary Clinton's email scandal if elected.
hard pass on anything Schoen
