There is no stopping VP Biden.. he is riding high in Iowa..

and I know my saying that is going to get under some peoples skins.. but he is looking good here.. and our activists are some of most liberal in the nation.. (by the way Sen Warren is running out front with the far left in Iowa).. but the middle ground of the Democratic Party is checking in now that, State Fair is here, and they are liking Joe Biden.. He has been ahead ever since he announced here.. and it is locking in hard.. I know we are 15 months out.. but things look really good for our Joe..

One of them will be the next President and they will need to work together. We have such a long, hard road to get this country straighten out, but we know from this primary season that we have some great leaders to carry us through.

“It’s early”
“He misspoke”
“He gaffed”
“He joked”
“He Hugged”
“He was ‘only’ Vice President”

Wait that all would be sour grapes.

Never mind that Joe is the most well-liked and qualified both nationally and globally.

Sat in his assigned front row seat listening and giving applause as the other candidates spoke, while the others milled around the crowd? It’s no wonder they like and respect him! Such a statesman

I was kinda surprised, what with Maher being such a caustic, cynical sort. But like everyone else, his first and foremost concern is that we nominate someone who can beat Trump. By a lot.

He went on this whole riff about how Dems need to stop going back 40 years to find something to bash other Dems with, that people evolve. He pointed out how Obama evolved on same sex marriage, then he flashed a picture of Biden and Obama, and said something like, and guess who got him to do it?

Here's the show if you want to watch it:
