(23,018 posts)He didnt set up offices,
He didnt establish a policy plan,
He hasnt raised any money,
He didnt hold rallies,
He didnt hold town halls like the others.
He said Im Joe Biden.
Elizabeth worked her ass off and built a real campaign from the ground up.
Shes just another woman who did all the work and is getting passed over on the promotion.

(44,997 posts)Look at the strategy, not the events. Joe and his team know how to win. And that's what we need, in every regard.
I love Elizabeth. I really do. Yesterday I was standing in the polling booth wondering... Joe or Liz. She started out strong in her campaign and took a lot of Bernie's wind. But he took it right back. I wish she'd run more from the center, but ended up divided in the wings. And that was heartbreaking to see. It might have been different. Still, She's my Senator and I will support her in that always.

(10,014 posts)Biden over performed based on the amount of work he did compared to the hard working Warren (who I supported). But he did raise money and did attend town halls.
Im sorry Warren didnt do better but Biden caught a wave and she didnt. Im guessing that the AA vote, moderates, and non-college educated white men who dislike wonky women, all played a role.
Democrats know, like, and trust Biden. It may be as simple as that.

(12,265 posts)She is brilliant and she will lead the charge to change all of the things that ALL of us are in favor of. I see major change with Elizabeth in the Senate, Nancy in the House and Joe in the White House.
I am a 65 year old woman who wishes beyond hope for a woman in the White House in my lifetime, but the stakes are so high right now.

(297,120 posts)Guess what, berni.. Rallies don't translate into Votes.. you should know that.
Oh but Biden did have a Huge Unity Rally with Beto and Amy in Texas.. did you catch that?.. that was The Rally to end all Rallies.. Biden Won Texas.
Oh and you missed Joe Biden's Town Halls?.. that's too bad.. he gave Excellent town halls. You can still see them on youtube.
Biden is raising money now, berni.. oh and he got James Costas, former Ambassador to Spain, to fundraise with him the night before South Carolina.. you might have missed this..
"Ive supported several of the candidates who have been up on the debate stage with him, Costos said. Now this has come to a point where this in my hometown. And I need to go ahead and support Joe Biden.
Costos said two issues in particular drove him to back Biden in the race: Bidens commitment to fighting piracy in the entertainment industry, which he witnessed while serving as ambassador to Spain, and Bidens early endorsement of gay marriage in 2012.

(13,035 posts)the important thing is he came back, ROARING. Your comment "many of us" reminds me of the Idiot's "many people" lies.
I get it your candidate didn't do well. That doesn't mean you need to demean Biden for his historic comeback.

(12,523 posts)And i was right.
I dont know why the media is acting like Biden's wins are such a surprise. He's polled well in these states the ENTIRE time. And he polls well in upcoming states
I guess the media just NEEDS that horse race
Bloomberg draws from Biden, Warren draws from Sanders.
Now, the VP race begins.

(22,100 posts)that they've even made a token attempt to contact me. I finally rec'd a mailer from Bloomberg yesterday. One mailer after all of this time (I'm in MO). I've contributed money to a couple of candidates (not Bloomberg, they didn't want it), but it's kind of off putting to me that again, in this current election cycle, that I am ignored (not deliberately of course).
I can understand in a way why, too many places to go, too many things to do, when one is a candidate, but still. Maybe even send a postcard to me once in a while? Acknowledge that I'm alive? That I matter? I know that there is no way that my voice will ever be heard, maybe that's why I don't have energy, or the 'Wow' factor when a certain person wins or not. The blood has been sucked out of me already and I don't care anymore, other than to get rump out.

(11,885 posts)The Democratic Party was behind last nights win, not Joe. It was a staged effort against Bernie, again, and Democrats doing this again will only drive people away, and cause 3rd party candidates after seeing their fate in the Democratic Party. Anyone will beat trump , and get a huge following to defeat him. Joe floundered until this took place, and not a good sign.
