What if Hillary had been swapped for Biden early..? [View all] Begabig Dec 2016 OP

Biden would be the 45th President being sworn in on Jan 20, not Drumpf putitinD Dec 2016 #1

What about his Iraq vote? Would he have received a pass or would he be labelled a war criminal... grossproffit Dec 2016 #25

Trump would have come after him in the debates and afterwards BeyondGeography Dec 2016 #27

He would have been attacked as viciously as Hillary was, maybe worse EffieBlack Dec 2016 #28

Those are still fairly limited issues. Not enough to throw so many voters to Johnson...and sympathy JudyM Dec 2016 #42

Those who voted for Stein...are not even worth talkng about... Demsrule86 Dec 2016 #65

Respectfully disagree. Though they are no doubt masters of vicious ridicule, they still need fodder. JudyM Dec 2016 #67

They will always find fodder...count on it. Demsrule86 Dec 2016 #68

Useless speculation, IMO. Biden didn't want to run. Arkansas Granny Dec 2016 #2

He wanted to run. Just not against Hillary. Nt NWCorona Dec 2016 #4

What I've observed in my adult voting life... Begabig Dec 2016 #7

So does Trump EffieBlack Dec 2016 #29

Biden is friendly, more relatable than tRump, plain-speaking with a sense of humor. Beats tRump on JudyM Dec 2016 #43

Depends on the audience EffieBlack Dec 2016 #49

We'd never get tRump's people, anyway. It's about middle America workers and populists. JudyM Dec 2016 #50

Joe is the man the media called the Gaffe Machine, and the Left repeated it Hekate Dec 2016 #60

Who the fuck is telling Hillary she can't go forward? Let me guess...a white man? nt LexVegas Dec 2016 #9

Someone with foresight? Begabig Dec 2016 #11

He's a vigorous 70+ guy..so smart and savvy ALBliberal Dec 2016 #31

The blue wall would have held BigBadDem Dec 2016 #17

Biden would have won in a landslide. Joe941 Dec 2016 #20

I don't actually think so...had Bernie run in the primary against Biden who voted for the war Demsrule86 Dec 2016 #66

Biden would be President Elect right now.. nt Raine Dec 2016 #21

Who do you think had the right to tell Hillary she can't go forward? LisaL Dec 2016 #22

I think you're missing the point... Begabig Dec 2016 #37

Nobody had to tell Hillary anything. LisaL Dec 2016 #41

Maybe... Begabig Dec 2016 #44

It would still be close because I don't think he would get out of the primary/general unscathed. SaschaHM Dec 2016 #23

He'd get a pass on his Iraq vote, unlike Hillary, who was continually crucified for hers. grossproffit Dec 2016 #24
