Truth be told, Mary the Virgin Mother herself would have to play the likeability game if she were running for president. Ambitious, outspoken and intelligent women don’t fare well against men in the likeability stakes.

Idk, his weird touching thing would be a problem

I love Biden but right here is the truth. Biden vs Trump woulds been two old white guys gunning for the base of each party and it would not turn out the fem vote, minority vote, youth vote anywhere near what HRC will get. And all those whose idea was a Biden/Warren ticket forshame —why not Warren/Biden. It is goddamn…

While I’m not questioning his ability to attract independents and young voters, Sanders would not win every demo that Clinton has in the bag, else he would not have lost the primaries to her. He had a serious problem among POC voters, most of whom supported Clinton.

This confuses the hell out of me. Like, all of the people saying “Trump is the only candidate Hillary could possibly beat” seem to forget that she literally just beat Bernie in the primaries.

He’d likely get more swing voters too, since the hate towards a woman is almost as all encompassing as what the current POTUS is STILL facing.

Yeah, I agree - I see nothing in Biden that you don’t get in Clinton, and I think he’d be just as problematic. The only thing I see in Biden’s favor is that he’s male, so the really horrible sexist stuff about Clinton wouldn’t be relevant. But I think Clinton would make, personality wise, a better president.

Yes, his gaffes, his plagiarism issues, Anita Hill, his own handsy issues. Biden is a likable guy, but he’s further right than Hillary, has significant baggage, and would have struggled to attack Trump on the his assaults.

You know what, I misunderstood what you were saying and I think you’re a little bit wrong. She has slightly more baggage than he does, but just the emails are legitimate. He spent a career in the Senate protecting banking corporations, he sold out Anita Hill, he voted for all the things that Hillary gets his for…

And since he had a cock, the Bernie folks still out in the wind would be voting for him.

Easy to say when there haven’t been countless ads of Bernie proudly saying “I’m a socialist”on endless loop. Or people attacking the ‘otherness’of him being Jewish.

Biden wouldn’t have been able to capitalize nearly as well as Clinton has on Trump’s misogyny. I’m not convinced that a Biden team would have even taken that angle of attack. And women are winning this election for Clinton.

“A Biden/Warren Ticket would have been an unstoppable Juggernaut/”

I don’t know. I can’t think of a more fitting defeat for misogynistic Trump than him getting his dick kicked off by a woman in a competition for the most politically muscular job in the world.

I don’t understand the logic says that whatever man that couldn’t beat her in the primary would be doing doing just so much better than her in the general? Like, if you can’t convince your base that you’re the best person for the job good luck with the rest of the country??

If it’s comforting at all, Biden has tried more than once to get the Democratic nomination, and he’s just not a good nominee. He got nowhere in ‘08, while Hillary very nearly beat Obama. She really is the best choice for this election.

Is there really a huge number of scandals, though, or is it just that we hear so much about a few that it feels like there are more of them?

What everyone here is forgetting is that we have Trump as a republican nominee because of Hillary. That is to say, if Hillary did not exist, and there was no one “favored” from the start to be the dem nominee like Clinton was, thenTrump would have gotten nowhere, and the R. nominee would have been someone more…

You need to read this article and understand that we just saw true political genius at work, it’s just different than they kind we are used to so it’s hard to recognize as such.

I thought Trump and Ailes already broke up? I hope there’s a messy lawsuit over ownership of TrumpTV.
