Biden’s first presidential run was in 1984. That was 35 years ago. People born during his first primary are Constitutionally eligible to run against him in this primary.

Pretty much. I mean, I LIKE the guy. But I also think I’d like George Bush if I met him. I don’t want Biden as president. The guy’s heart isn’t in it, and he’s a walking gaffe. And I don’t want “more of the same”. BIDEN doesn’t want to be president. He’s basically admitted it. How does he think that will play…

I can’t believe Splinter is the only bog mentioning this crazy shit.

As Jemele Hill astutely pointed out last night, the only reason Joe Biden is leading in the polls is that the majority of white people and yes black folks can’t or won’t vote for anyone else on that stage. Even if they are more qualified. Harris, Castro, Booker and Warren are better candidates even if the first three…

I didn’t want him to run in the first place. He is too old. And so is Sanders. And so is Warren, but she is a woman and on average we live longer than men, so she is the exception here.

“This. Is. AGEISM!!!” Comes the cries from the center left, media and establishment Dems.

To the inevitable “This is ageism and Damon should be ashamed crowd”, let’s roll the tape on Joe Biden in the last month or so...

Good call. Hopefully Iowa and New Hampshire will break the spell as some of the people who are less tuned in actually start listening to him. Still, I really like to see the best in humanity and Biden compounded with Trump is making that rather difficult right now. I’m probably going to need to take a break from…

I refuse to enter the emotional abyss until he starts winning primaries. But yeah...I'm with you. 

Biden is getting praise for not bursting into flames in this debate. From where I sat, 9 other people beat him but he is getting praise. They are grading him on the Trump curve. 

I don’t think the problem is so much Biden’s declining mental faculties as it is he just doesn’t seem to think he needs to put in any real effort whatsoever to be president (I wonder where a wealthy powerful white man would ever get that sense of entitlement). Like, he has never even bothered to try to keep his lies…

If we don’t keep highlighting his unfitness he will cakewalk into the nomination and be destroyed by Trump in the general election.

Biden won by surviving this debate.

I can’t imagine a worse matchup for the country and our future, but a Biden-Trump-Who-Has-The-Smoother-Brain debate would be fun in a watching a car crash and explode sort of way.

Yes, it’s a shitty answer (or not really even an answer). But I’ll bet you a lot of voters are going to love it, because what comes through clearly is “this is about poverty, not racism”, and there are a lot of people, including a lot of Democratic voters, who want that. It’s easy to be magnanimous, it’s hard to admit…

Good luck to them. The rule isn’t written that a worker is an independent contractor unless it is proven they are a worker.

This is the business model: break the law and then get away with it.

Cycling I have the right to use the full lane in many scenarios. I prefer to be alive rather than correct because lots of ass hole drivers will run a cyclist down (otherwise they may have to twist the steering wheel a quarter turn to pass safely). -- Technically correct is not the best type of correct in all situations
