3. Joe Biden Is Rolling As No One Gains Ground After Second Debate
Fri Aug 2, 2019, 06:15 PM
Aug 2019

Joe Biden is the most electable candidate that the Democratic Party has available https://www.politicususa.com/2019/08/02/joe-biden-is-rolling-as-no-one-gains-ground-after-second-debate.html

A looming problem for candidates is the new delegation allocation rules require that only candidates getting 15% of the vote or more in each primary and caucus are awarded delegates. This means that every candidate outside Biden who isn’t at less than 15% in any early state is flirting with not picking up delegates.

There is a sizable segment of Democrats who like and want Joe Biden as the party’s nominee. The possibility is growing that Biden catches fire in the early voting states and rolls to the nomination. The other candidates the nomination may have to beat Biden early or not at all, as these debates aren’t moving the needle and shifting voters away from the former vice president.

things about Biden's performance. It's as though we were watching 2 versions of the debate.
IMO Biden was quite substantive with his answers. Everyone knows behind those words is proven experience.

Biden is more moderate than Hillary was, and look at how that worked out.

The rest of us will not see any difference in our day to day lives. That is why he won't be able to turn people out for the election if he becomes the nominee. He will be entirely dependent on the anti-Trump vote, which may or may not be enough.

MI,WI and PA. Biden is progressive who appeals to moderates...there is a difference...We live in a center left country thus a candidate must appeal to moderates...we could lose the presidency and the House with a candidate who didn't appeal to moderates.

Keep up the attitude. It’s so welcoming. I should’ve known better than trying to explain to a Biden supporter that he hasn’t won yet and that there are other qualified candidates.

also, a not insignificant number believes he's the most electable which is being a pundit and thinking he needs repubs voting for him
