Former second lady Jill Biden made an unusually honest pitch to voters on Monday for her husband to be the 2020 Democratic presidential nominee.

“I know that not all of you are committed to my husband, and I respect that,” she said at a campaign event in Nashua, N.H. “But I want you to think about your candidate, his or her electability, and who’s going to win this race.”

“Your candidate might be better on, I don’t know, health care, than Joe is,” she continued. “But you’ve got to look at who’s going to win this election. And maybe you have to swallow a little bit and say, ‘OK, I personally like so and so better,’ but your bottom line has to be that we have to beat Trump.”

Ah. Back to the "Only Joe Biden can win" strategy. Sorry, Jill, way to early to commit to that.

Too many polls beg to differ. Warren, Sanders, Harris, Buttigieg and even a few other candidates all have head to head polls showing they would also defeat Trump.

Let's see what the polls say after a few more debates. I bet all the Democratic candidates numbers go up against Trump even more.

His WIFE makes statements like this:?

10. I respect both Joe and Jill Biden

however, no in fact I don't have do so. This is why we have a series of debates. primaries and a process. It is far too early for this type of talk, if there ever is a time for this type of talk.

11. It's disturbing to think any sensible lefties wouldn't vote blue no matter who

because?

Why do people think Biden voters won't vote for the other candidates?

12. The Onion takes it one step further...

13. I keep thinking that at some point

these comments from the Bidens are going to cause him to start losing support.

Maybe that's just wishful thinking ...

15. Maybe Jill should threaten voters:

"Vote for my husband or else!"
