If I he starts to get enough votes I'll support him. I want to see him vs Trump in debates. Bring the salt, Trump supporters will cry.
The candidate with the best chance of beating trump.
He will probably not win the primaries and if he does, it will be a repeat of 2016 in terms internal splits within the party.
8 years of Trump here we go.

I wonder how many people are actually gonna watch the video, lol. As much as it pains me to say it, that video was very well done, unfortunately.
I thought the video overall was pretty good sadly but as a Brit i did find a lot of it to be US praising platitudes that arent based in reality.
There aren't any "right" people running, he is a centrist. He'd nominate liberal judges and the like though of course.
I asked where is Biden politically aligned to the people I mentioned.
He was Obama's vice president so he's probably the closest you'd get to more Obama. They got on really well, after all. I doubt he's going to be much different.
Could Obama be his vice president? (Serious loop hole question)
I don't hate the guy but I don't believe he'll bring the change so desperately needed in this country. Just more of the status quo.
The nomination is his for the taking unfortunately.

I have a hard time believing he can take a stand against white supremacy while making excuses for the party that made those white supremacists confident enough to march in the open.
LOL of course 😁
I was gonna say it always surprises me how much those sappy, empty platitudes work for many Americans but then I remember my country is fucking itself with brexit because of the same bullshit so I'm in no position to talk.
I don't see why not (if anything, I'd say his chances are the best for that overall among this massive crop of candidates).
It's unanswered constitutionally but is currently believed to be possible, but unlikely to happen because of all the issues it'd bring. Technically there's no limit on how many times -anyone- can be VP.
He's to the right of Bernie, Warren, Harris et al. Possibly right of Obama and Hillary.
Basically if you want stuff like Medicare for All or decriminalization he's not your friend.
(Read the Twitter thread)
If optimism were currency, my bank account would be overdrawn. This election is going to be garbage.
Super concerned about the creepy Joe shit, but I do get giddy when I think about his potential GE appeal to blue collar centrist independents in the rust belt, and likely a near guarantee of PA for the dems.
I do anticipate he wins the primary, though he won't get my vote there.
