I'm voting for eight years of stability. Will four years even be enough time to undo the damage? What will our allies think? They want stability too. The Republicans have amassed a huge infrastructure and it will take eight years at least to weaken them.

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

Politico is a shitty outlet. Often poorly sourced and they have a line of fresh blood..... TidalWave46 Dec 2019 #11

Early on here I saw a question from a reporter who Cha Dec 2019 #14

He also said it on TV dalton99a Dec 2019 #18

Don't believe this for a second. This crap is coming from Biden opponents trying to hurt his highplainsdem Dec 2019 #40

Sen. Coons, comfirmin Joe would serve 2 terms w/ the proviso "if necessary," is Biden's opponent?! InAbLuEsTaTe Dec 2019 #89

Joe Biden told Senator Coons he would "serve two terms if necessary," the Democrat from Delaware... demmiblue Dec 2019 #42

"If necessary?" What? If you win 1 term, it's obviously necessary. Garrett78 Dec 2019 #44

You would think so... but, apparently, Joe has other ideas. Not sure what he's thinkin!! InAbLuEsTaTe Dec 2019 #88

The OP is politico Junk.. Cha Dec 2019 #67

What the hell does "IF NECESSARY" mean?! InAbLuEsTaTe Dec 2019 #72

It's fake politico JUNK is what it is.. Cha Dec 2019 #65

Very concerning... no doubt Joe's advisors will advise him to walk back the "if necessary" condition InAbLuEsTaTe Dec 2019 #90

You are looking for shit...the quote is meaningless. Demsrule86 Dec 2019 #98

You can always countr on the press to try to submarine the Democrats. dem4decades Dec 2019 #71

It is not true...but enjoy your false hopes...that this is the one...to bring Biden down. Demsrule86 Dec 2019 #83

Be wary of quotes from anonymous sources in Politico Politicub Dec 2019 #85

That's not exactly what Joe's close confident, Sen. Coons, said... InAbLuEsTaTe Dec 2019 #91

Why should he? Sorry...Biden is most likely the nominee...seriously hope Sanders bows out early and Demsrule86 Dec 2019 #94

We think alike... only Bernie's got this, so I hope Biden does the right thing & bows out early. InAbLuEsTaTe Dec 2019 #97

Biden has a history of always doing the right thing...so no worries there. But I hate to see you Demsrule86 Dec 2019 #99

I agree, Joe tends to do the right thing politically and will likely bow out gracefully... InAbLuEsTaTe Dec 2019 #101

for sure...vote blue no matter who. Demsrule86 Dec 2019 #106

this is a disqualifying statement, IMO AlexSFCA Dec 2019 #102

except that it ISN'T a statement made by Joe, or his campaign. stopdiggin Dec 2019 #109

Disqualifying? No... there are worse statements, but it does give one pause. InAbLuEsTaTe Dec 2019 #112

EXCEPT is NOT true.. so there's THAT.. Cha Dec 2019 #115
