My focus is on who can win the Electoral College and beat trump. It's a state by state race. From what I see here, many folks don't seem to care about electability. It's not who I like or who others like. It's about who can win.

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

And perceive the dynamics, editorials and polling within the primaries as just another day in the office rather than an "attack" on any one particular sacred cow as we ourselves so often imply in our righteous and indignant responses to criticisms of that sacred cow.

I really don't want to disappoint you but I am finding his performance in the debate and on the stump to be underwhelming. My support for him was based on his having the best chance against Trump. What I am seeing is old Joe and not the Joe of old.

Again I don't want to disappoint you but that's how I feel. I'm not going beyond that and I won't join in threads bashing him. I probably won't post in threads bashing any candidates.

He's not the Joe Biden who pantsed Sarah Palin and Paul Ryan. He's slower in his recall and in his responses. There's no shame in growing old.

and then you can be slower, and just slower.. the debates will clear it all up for us, I noticed what I thought was a hearing loss.. because I have hearing loss, and my husband pointed out I have the same expression if I am unsure of what I am hearing.. no shame in hearing loss either.. though you can drive the people around you half crazy asking them to repeat things

If Joe Biden was suddenly to wear a hearing aid it would be seen as him getting old. He just doesn't look as quick on the draw to me. We'll see.

followed by Warren and Harris. I’m not attached to anyone though. For instance, I can say that Biden needs to tighten his messaging and stop shooting himself in the foot yet still support him.
