Anyone seen that clip of Biden? Honestly, it's quite pathetic and did feel very Trump-esque from him
People who want to ban fracking immediately, says Joe Biden, ‘oughta vote for someone else’

Bold new ideas. People will be asking if he get's the nomination ,what is the difference between him and a moderate Republican.

Thats perhaps a valid question - but an equally valid question would be is a moderate candidate who is likely to win against Trump a better choice than a more progressive candidate with less chance ... because one things for sure whoever wins the nomination will not be running against a moderate republican
To be honest the answer to that is subjective and its equally valid that people would have a different opinion on it - which is the whole point of the primaries - to see who the most people want to take into the election
This isn’t even new though, he’s been saying the same thing to anyone criticizing his record lately (go vote for Sanders/Warren)

This pretty much sums up the conditions that led to the rise of both Trump and Sanders

based on the peer-reivewed thory that Only Bad Things Happen, he's going to win isn't he.
I see Kamala is now favourite with the bookmakers for a vp slot?
Slightly surprised by that
Would Biden take her after the first debate attack
Would Warren want 2 women on the ticket
I would have thought too much ideological gap between her and Sanders
Perhaps mayor Pete's running mate but that's about the only one I can see?
I do expect a gender balanced ticket though (and a tick in the diversity box) ... stacey abraham would seem to be a better option in many ways
And as for Warren perhaps booker or castro for that race and gender balance
Or is kamala a serious vp contender (I could see her pushing Biden down the stairs to get the top job if the opportunity arose)

Mayor Pete is the perfect candidate for the Democratic Party.
He reflects their values.
He reflects their values.
Well that’s a bit silly considering how diverse the party is.

He knows he would've gotten smoked over this at the debate next week.
The important question would have been to ask him if his supporters would stop doing the Pete dance?
Tulsi has said she’s not going to the next debate whether or not she qualifies. No idea why
Probably intending to go on Fox and Friends instead and moan about the fact she was never invited.
Doubt she will hit the polling criteria
Isn't she polling around 1-2% but needs to be over 4% nationally or 6% in Iowa polls
Basically she's not gonna be invited to the party and is briefing that she does not want to go to the party
Can't see her as a VP pick for any of the front runners so I think she's chasing a good result in new Hampshire to stay in the race
Fully expect her to drop out in the new year if she does not see a big poling bump in new hampshire

Don’t Think Sanders Can Win? You Don’t Understand His Campaign
There was a time in America when being called a socialist could end a political career. Not anymore.

Sad to see how old he's gotten.
Of course he is really old, so what are you going to do, like?

What a weird way to refer to an Asian person...
Yang outlasting Beto and Kamala 
First POC and Asian to qualify at the same time though.
I just find the PC term 'Person of Color' very fecking weird though. Just as we try to move away from discriminating from skin color, yet we persist in painting people in colors.
What's wrong with the first Asian American
I’ve always felt a bit weird about lumping a group of people into basically the “not white” category
It’s because he’s betterYang outlasting Beto and Kamala
He truly is. Hasan Minaj did an interesting segment on Patriot Act / NFLX.
It’s because white has been the majority and dominant demographic for a long time. Any form of minority representation will be a big deal until it’s so normal, that it’s not worth mentioning anymore.
POC is a much wider demographic so it looks like more of an achievement than just being the first Asian. I don’t mind the labeling that much because our looks and skin color are noticeable traits that no one will ever ignore.
