124. No. Biden is old, but not "too old" is a possible position

to take.

I had to go and find my claims.

But despite that record progressives didn’t support her in the primaries. What evidence is there that they will have a change of heart in the general?

Every case in the past where a Bernie supporter voted for Hillary in the general, or a Hillary supporter voted for Obama in the general.

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

I'm glad to see that Joe is less provocative than some of his supporters Sucha NastyWoman Apr 2020 #32

The Mere Call, Sir, Would Be Sufficient, In Dealing With A Competent Politician The Magistrate Apr 2020 #44

Biden is moving on regardless of Bernie staying in the race. BlueLucy Apr 2020 #9

Facts? Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #37

I'm in the middle of dinner while posting BidenBacker Apr 2020 #39

Yet her voting record didn't get her progressive Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #43

Suggesting, Sir, 'Progressives' Will Not Vote For Her Is Not Pointing Out A Fact Either The Magistrate Apr 2020 #41

I'm not suggesting progressives won't vote for her Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #45

And where exactly did I ever say progressives would vote for her? BidenBacker Apr 2020 #46

So then you agree that Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #48

Her support while running for president is irrelevant dansolo Apr 2020 #75

And where is the evidence that they would? Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #77

And I Suspect Mr. B. Backer Is Correct, Sir The Magistrate Apr 2020 #52

Do you know how the Electoral College works? Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #56

Yes I Do, Sir --- I Can Also Suck Eggs With The Best Of Them The Magistrate Apr 2020 #59

Kaine was a poor choice Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #61

Good Lord, Sir The Magistrate Apr 2020 #64

So I guess you don't have any evidence Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #65

I Have No Interest In What Seems To Fascinate You, Sir The Magistrate Apr 2020 #67

More diversion Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #69

You Seem To View Chanting 'Diversion' As Helpful, Sir The Magistrate Apr 2020 #70

So I guess that's a no. Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #73

Rather, Sir, It Is a 'Know'... The Magistrate Apr 2020 #80

Why not just answer the question Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #82

'Playing Games', Sir, Provides Amusement The Magistrate Apr 2020 #83

The just provide evidence to back up your claims Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #91

You Fail To Amuse, Sir The Magistrate Apr 2020 #93

Just answer the question Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #95

Serious Lack Of Amusement Here, Sir The Magistrate Apr 2020 #100

Not surprised Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #103

Nor Me, Sir --- Just The Same Old Same Old The Magistrate Apr 2020 #106

No it is fun Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #108

You Haven't Enough On The Ball, Dear, To Justify a Double The Magistrate Apr 2020 #112

Just prove your claims Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #115

A Fact From Which You Drew A Predictive Conclusion, Sir The Magistrate Apr 2020 #55

No a fact that I'm asking if there is any evidence Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #57

In All Modesty, Sir, I Like To Think I Am Pretty Good At The English Language The Magistrate Apr 2020 #60

Instead of quibbling over a typo Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #63

As I Said, Sir, If The Incoherence Was A Genuine Error That Is One Thing The Magistrate Apr 2020 #66

So I guess the answer is no Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #74

You Are Going To Need To Provide Some Evidence, Sir The Magistrate Apr 2020 #79

Still trying to divert Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #81

Rather Than Accuse Me Of Trying To Divert, Sir The Magistrate Apr 2020 #84

But you are trying to divert Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #90

I Deny The Allegation And Defy The Allegator, Sir The Magistrate Apr 2020 #94

So you're admitting Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #96

I Am Acknowledging You Cannot Be Taken Seriously, Sir The Magistrate Apr 2020 #101

And more diversion Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #104

It's Not Much Of A Diversion, Sir The Magistrate Apr 2020 #107

Or you couldn't just prove your claims Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #109

You May Be Beginning To Catch On, Dear The Magistrate Apr 2020 #111

Or you could just prove your claims Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #114

But What I Am Doing Is Relaxing After A Nice Dinner And A Movie The Magistrate Apr 2020 #117

But you still can't prove your claims Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #118

There Certainly Is Something So Sad Here, Sir The Magistrate Apr 2020 #119

Yet you still can't prove your claims Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #120

You know I do my homework before I toss out facts and figures BidenBacker Apr 2020 #51

I Trust The Professionals As Well, Sir The Magistrate Apr 2020 #54

I never disagreed about her voting record Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #58

First, Who are these "progressives" ismnotwasm Apr 2020 #85

People who self identify as progressives Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #86

You are being vague. I identify as a progressive. I was very disappointed when she dropped out. ismnotwasm Apr 2020 #87

Because she didn't even last until Iowa Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #88

No, not winning does not mean a "bad' campaign. There are other factors ismnotwasm Apr 2020 #89

Losing is good campaign??? Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #92

Like I said. ismnotwasm Apr 2020 #97

Yes. Reality is interesting. Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #98

I'm glad you think so ismnotwasm Apr 2020 #99

Same reason people who did not support Biden treestar Apr 2020 #113

From that argument Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #116

It is said Vote Blue, No Matter Who treestar Apr 2020 #122

Actually the argument that Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #123

No. Biden is old, but not "too old" is a possible position treestar Apr 2020 #124

Any argument Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #125

The Bernie supporters who voted for Hillary treestar Apr 2020 #126

Please don't dishonestly put words in my mouth Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #127

She's smart, politically astute and experienced ismnotwasm Apr 2020 #128

Yes but there are others who could bring diversity Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #129

Now, Say Who, Sir, There's a Good Fellow.... The Magistrate Apr 2020 #130

Sure Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #131

Stacy Abrams is already on the short list ismnotwasm Apr 2020 #133

All come from swing states Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #135

I think you meant "didn't accuse" ismnotwasm Apr 2020 #140

Yes none of them accused Biden of racism Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #141

The Nearest Thing To A Useful Statement You Have Made In Days, Sir The Magistrate Apr 2020 #134

Yet you still can't prove anything that you claimed. Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #136

And You Are Back To Providing Insufficient Entertainment To Engage My Attention, Fella The Magistrate Apr 2020 #138

Nice dodge Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #139

She augments more than brings in, I think ismnotwasm Apr 2020 #132

I don't know who the best choice Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #137

Biden left us a hint. BlueLucy Apr 2020 #36

So? Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #38

Think US world involvement. BlueLucy Apr 2020 #47

Warren is a poor pick as well Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #49

With a Republican Governor choosing the replacement. OnDoutside Apr 2020 #105

Kamala is my first pick. MontanaMama Apr 2020 #27
