legacy.. don't cast him aside like he didn't do an excellent job getting us out the abyss that bush cheney left us in.

And, wasn't the first one to get an ACA passed.. an excellent foundation to Build on!

to many of us for quite awhile now.

As I said to George..

Build on President Obama's legacy.. don't cast him aside like he and his VP didn't do an excellent job getting us out the abyss that bush cheney left us in.

And, he wasn't the first one to get an ACA passed.. an excellent foundation to Build on!

On the bright side it looks like Joe is doing very well. On the other bright side, it looks like Trump is headed for the toilet. Suits him a lot better than our White House.

brilliant like Joe Biden wants to do.. instead of tearing it all down.

I remember the 2008 conventions.. It seems the rnc didn't even want bush to show up.

Certainly President Obama will be at the 2020 one and be honored to be there

And why not, a great president, the best in our lifetime, followed by another. Of course with the orange creep stuck in between like a sh...t sandwich

and the other preference has a bunch of competition. Wonder where he'd put O'Rourke. There's an unexpected funny in the 9% who want Sanders to build on Obama's legacy.

Obama is tops at 60% favorability, Biden next at 50, Democratic Party doing fairly well at 51, well above Republican.

Another interesting question is:
Voting for a candidate who will restore the country and get politics back to normalcy: 60%.
Voting for a candidate who will fundamentally change the way things work in Washington: 36%

Both Republicans and Democrats were polled. So that 36% who want to fundamentally change how things work comes from people with some vastly different basic orientations.
* (relatively few) who want capitalism replaced at least somewhat with socialism,
* (?%) who want an increasing RW authoritarian and religious takeover, and
* (?%) who want to improve and continue the liberal democratic systems we've always had.

Responders who want government fixed but see it as a big overhaul probably are not that much different from those who checked the box for "return to normalcy." One big group in that respect. Except it's made up of voters from both left and right.

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