Trump got impeached over Burisma.. Nothing there to hurt Joe Biden

Trump has shot his wad to try and destroy the Bidens.. it did not work. I am feeling so much better about the Biden campaign because he was so vetted in that.. Everything came up, and we looked at it again.. Biden was vetted 10 ways of Sunday when he joined the Obama campaign.

The republicans are sweating Biden bullets for a reason.

If Joe does half as well as he did on Super Tuesday, we are on our way to locking this up.. and kicking down doors.

Someone posted to me the other day, that they thought Trump would not debate him. You know the more I think about that the more it makes sense. Because Trump will bluster and name call and Joe can just spit back the truth in that uniquely Joe Biden way. and he will so knee cap Trump.

Because he was part of the last Democratic Administration and he knows what he speaks of.

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

I know that's a popular opinion around here, but it's not realistic. We heard the same thing in 2016 and obviously he showed up.

The guy loves to hear himself talk and loves to play to his audience. He's not afraid of losing a debate, because in his mind, that's not even possible.

I'm going to use that.

Well I am of the same mind with Burisma as I was with "but her emails". I laugh and shake my head but I know that the emails nonsense did work in 2016. Not near the biggest factor but it had an effect.

Trump could only win if it was close and then he still needed the perfect storm. Comey, EC wins by a fraction of a percent, etc.

If it's not already close, the rest of it doesn't happen.

have used it already. Giuliani was supposed to have come back from Ukraine with the goods on them. What are the odds that they really have something big but have convinced Trump to keep his mouth shut about it? Not a chance! Even if they begged him to keep quiet because of the ongoing investigation, he would have ignored them. They got nuthin'!

I don't think it's going to be an effective tool in the GE, because it's already had a lot of press and has basically gone nowhere. Increased focus isn't likely to make it any more effective. The attention will also remind anyone but his die-hards that the whole thing was a hoax.
