When you look at the list of Democratic Presidential candidates thus far

we have:

1. "I think we should start over, we need medicare for all"
2. "I would take down the wall"
3. "I support 3rd trimester abortions"
4. "I support the Green Deal"
5. "I support free college tuition"
6. "I support reparations"

From the Democratic platform website: Democratic platform website

7. “Democrats believe immigration is not just a problem to be solved, it is a defining aspect of the American character and our shared history.”

-Democratic Party Platform (We have an illegal immigration problem not an immigration problem, and your party is against funds to put a barrier between us and the Drug Cartel)

8. “Democrats believe that climate change poses a real and urgent threat to our economy, our national security, and our children’s health and futures, and that Americans deserve the jobs and security that come from becoming the clean energy superpower of the 21st century.”

-Democratic Party Platform (Still waiting on a clear and concise definition of climate change and proof Man-made is impacting the so called change and we (mankind) can do a damn thing about the climate by taxing and regulating our way of life)

9. “Democrats will always fight to end discrimination on the basis of race, ethnicity, national origin, language, religion, gender, age, sexual orientation, gender identity, or disability.”

-Democratic Party Platform (Yep, let the interest of 7% of the population dominate the airwaves which end up dividing the majority us)

10. “The Democratic Party was founded on the promise of an expanded democracy… Democrats believe we must make it easier to vote, not harder.”

—Democratic Party Platform (so let illegal vote?)

11. “Seniors should not have to choose between putting food on the table, keeping a roof over their heads, or buying the medication that they need to stay healthy.”

-Democratic Party Platform (Okay and?)

12. With 33,000 Americans dying every year, Democrats believe that we must finally take sensible action to address gun violence.

-Democratic Party Platform (I think addressing the lack of fatherhood makes more sense towards real change that benefits the entire community and future)

13. “American leadership is essential to keeping us safe and our economy growing in the years ahead.”

-Democratic Party Platform (So you like Donald J Trump?)

13. “Democrats value American innovation and believe it is one of our country’s great strengths.”

-Democratic Party Platform (Good, let's keep those jobs here)

14. “We are committed to doing everything we can to build a full-employment economy, where everyone has a job that pays enough to raise a family and live in dignity with a sense of purpose.”

-Democratic Party Platform (Well Donald is way ahead of you, he awaits your applause and support)

That's what I have been saying for months. It may not be Joe, but a late comer will enter and will be the least objectionable alternative to the loonies.

"C'mon guys. I'm not as crazy as Bernie, but we need to beat Trump."

They can't make him not look like an old white man, the very thing Democrats have been telling us is wrong with America.

I think you're giving them too much credit. These people are legitimately crazy and Biden is going to end up trying to move left.

True, but he is careful to never give details to be used against him later.

There are 2 candidates for President on the Dem side: Biden and Sanders.

The establishment and big money is behind Biden just as it was for Clinton.

Bernie is Bernie.

The only question is whether or not it's going to be a fair fight. It certainly wasn't last time.

The rest of these loons are running for VP at best which isn't a bad play because Biden and Sanders would be one term due to age.

Biden is a reactionary, much in the same template as Hubert Humphrey, Ed Muskie, Walter Mondale even John Glenn. He's a throwback who's out of step with the zeitgeist.

Don't worry, I'll vote for him in a heartbeat if he's the nominee. But, he's no Kamala, or Beto.

Shouldn't be too difficult when you pit him against the morons he's debating.

I may be giving Democrats too much credit, but I think their strategy is to allow their diverse field of candidates to solidify bases on every part of the Democratic spectrum against republicans. Then, Democrats will eliminate all but one choice (the DNC’s choice), knowing that they’ve implanted a strong enough “us vs. them” mindset to keep everyone Blue.

It’s a great strategy. There is very little overlap in the Venn diagram of Democratic candidates.

The Republicans, on the other hand, are going to trot out 3-4 indistinguishable candidates and just hope Trump can continue the wave from 2016.

Overall, I think complacency sets in, independents find a DNC skittle variety they like, and Democrats win 2020 easily.

I think Biden will get more of the moderate dem vote and get the nomination over Bernie. Then I could see him running with Robert O'Rourke as his VP. Beta is getting the Obama treatment from the media with the constant slobbing on his knob from the media for being a "rockstar" and smooth talker, but he has zero credible experience, accomplishments, or even policy platform for that matter. A VP run could boost his appeal for a potus run in 4 years. As much bullshite identity politics that the left plays, they would still be very comfortable running a ticket with 2 white men.

I think it'll have the opposite effect. Won't be able to please all manner of identity groups that they are pandering to.

Plenty will stay home.
