Joe Biden should thank Trump for his surge

[Happyhippychick]

The tide really turned when Trump started defending Bernie and claiming he was "afraid" of him becoming the candidate.

1. Fuck that. All the credit goes to Joe.

And those who voted for him.

2. No you are wrong. People are turning against BS and his backers who are so negative.

The country has had it with that nonsense. Joe is a positive person who doesn't like going down in the mud, and he can WIN!

4. Hi redstatebluegirl

I agree with you.
I think people have had enough of angry, pessimistic messages.
Judging by yesterdays results, I think most people are quietly and deliberately determined
to put us back on the path to normalcy.

7. I LOVE Elizabeth!

I had a chance to meet her in Boston during a visit there. I went to her office to tell them how much I admired her and she happened to be there, she was so gracious and wonderful.

I wish I was convinced she could win this time. I think if we get the White House, the House and the Senate she becomes a major player in putting the changes in place that we ALL want.

For the first time in three years I slept like a baby last night.

10. I'm a little disappointed that Warren wasn't able to get more traction.

I'm not really upset tho. The majority of Democrats are more comfortable
with Biden and I totally get that.
Biden is going to be a great president.
I'm glad we had such a great slate of candidates to choose from.

12. Absolutely!

14. You and OP can both be right at the same time.

3. I'm not saying it as a criticism, I support Joe. It just looked to me like BS was the front-runner

until Trump started saying he was afraid of him, which the voters saw right through.

5. I totally agree that trump's support of sanders cost sanders some votes and did contribute

to biden wins. My take is the "real democratic voter" got incensed with with media forcing sanders down our collective throats and buried Joe before REAL primaries happened

6. Joe's team gets all the credit.

Experience, capability and strategic smarts make for big results.

8. No. Rep Clyburn, Amy, Pete, Beto, and Democrats coming out to vote, especially African Americans

9. Think there's truth to that HHC. Perfect storm

happening for him.

He's a decent, experienced, and well known person who just happens to be in the right place at the right time.

Last poll I saw showed we were split 50-50 between those who put importance on beating trump (hate him) as priority one and those who are voting on policy as number one. But heard someone say it was up to 65% ?now in the former category.

Biden is the perfect antithesis of Trump imho.

11. You thank Trump for nothing.

If fact, you wish him nothing but misery and pain.

[obamanut2012]

13. Fuck that

[SharonClark]

15. No way.

[OnDoutside]

16. Lol !

17. I agree to an extent

I know Trump's fear of Biden and preference of Bernie impacted my decision and a few people I know. I never gave Biden a thought until the Burisma fiasco. In fact I wasn't happy when Biden entered the race. But, my #1 goal is for Trump not to be re-elected. Therefore, Trump's continuous defense of Bernie certainly did not help him. However, I believe Clyburn and AAs in SC gave the Biden campaign the CPR it needed.
