The GOP is getting ready to do a Clinton run on Biden..like they did in 2016

and I have no worries he can handle it.. they are terrified of him.. so it is going to be all hands on deck to destroy him... just a heads up from my side.. the first person on our side that uses the GOPs dirt to try and smear Biden will NEVER get my vote.. I am paying attention, and so are a lot of others..

It may be tempting.. but it will backfire big time..because first they will come for Biden and then everyone else as they see them bubble up..

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden

Joe Biden is stronger than he appears. He can fight back with his smile and eloquence because he has seen it all.

Joe Biden is aware of what Republicans are up to on behalf of Trump. He will throw it back at them in a way that will only endear him to the disaffected voters, those who did not vote in 2018, as well as those who voted for Trump.

They will go after all the candidates with a decent chance to be the eventual nominee. But think all our candidates with a decent chance will handle it.

Also, without Comey to back it up it won't be easy to take it as far.

But there will be some type of swift boating. And, as always, it will have the potential to go pretty far.

threatening Joe Biden is to their schemes and dreams. Joe's a scrappy fighter. When he says Trump is a clown, he means it.

The Trump supporters and acolytes will do everything in their power to diminish Biden or any other Democratic candidate. But the fact remains: Donald Trump is a fully known quantity now. He'll be required to defend his miserable Administration from immigration and the caging of children to his tax giveaway to the rich, his failed trade policies and the fraud and corruption that has become a mainstay within Trump's chaotic presidency. The list goes on and on.

That being said, this first volley of Deep Fakes (the vid on Pelosi) is a hint of what's coming.

It's going to get very ugly.
