I believe Joe Biden when he says almost any of our 2020 Democratic candidates can beat Trump.

That was very honest and very gracious of him to say that to the press.

Let's not try to spin that.

He deserves credit for being extremely honest.

honest he is"

I think he was being incredibly honest and gracious when he said this to the press:

to the rest of the 2020 Democratic primary field.

you really think are fooling anyone?

That part strengthens my argument why Biden deserves credit for being so honest.

So, again, I think it was very honest and gracious for Joe Biden to say that almost all our Democratic candidates would defeat Trump ESPECIALLY since this went against his own camp's arguments.

Kudos to Biden for not going out of his way to trash his rivals to win the nomination.

A+ for honesty.

Is this supposed to be an issue?

This is thread #2 about this. The other one is full of great positive comments from DU’ers supporting different candidates about Biden’s comments.

Biden is not just about himself. of course he’s in it to win, but if he’s not the nominee he will work to support all Dems up and down the ballot.

A great positive force for the country

a week now. Almost any Dem candidate polls better than Trump. So why do we get all this gleeful grade school pile on when Biden repeats the news andb says our candidates beat Trump?

The corporate press has their fat thumb on the scale, trying to tilt the Dem primary win to another candidate that is better aligned with their boardroom plans. Whoever that might be is still a wildcard, but it's clearly not Biden, and the goal might even be a Republican.

The point being the press should not be in the business of creating or rewriting the news to match their corporate agenda, nor should Dems be carry their water and enabling the wealthy oligarchs to undermine our candidates.

Be wary of these attacks against Biden. There's still an army of Russian trolls running loose in the intertubes and stirring the same pot to keep thier guy Trump in office.

There are polls almost daily which show numerous candidates who on a head-to-head basis today could beat Trump. Why would anybody make a big deal out of Joe Biden stating the obvious? It's just.....

He was both gracious and honest for telling the truth that almost any of our Democratic 2020 candidates can beat trump.

...a brutally honest observation...

...thank you Joe...

...

now let's ask some of the others.

What he is saying is that there are several good Democratic candidates. He's being a good Democrat in doing so.

That doesn't mean that he thinks anyone is more likely to win than he is. It's just a nice thing to say about his primary opponents.

For pete's sake!

and graciousness.

Joe was honest and gracious enough to go against his own's camp's electability argument, and he deserves praise for that.

Even David Axelrod admits this:

I do think that Joe Biden's ability to communicate warmth and compassion is as strong as Obama's and Clinton's and he would be able to do much to repair the damage Trump and done to America's collective psyche.

உண்மை என்னவென்றால் உண்மைதான்

Google, however, does. Truth is truth, but can be used for either good or evil.

That's a fact.
