Related: About this forumBiden Swipes at Warren With 'Planner' Remark
Warren, who is statistically tied with Biden in recent state and national polls, has released a flurry of policy proposals, a practice that has developed into a campaign slogan: Warrens got a plan for that.
For the most part, Biden has refrained from criticizing his rivals, but his rebuke of Warren may signal a more aggressive approach as he seeks to regain his lead in the polls.
More important than my plan is my promise: I will get this done, Biden, who is trying to position himself as a more moderate pragmatist, said Wednesday evening in Manchester, New Hampshire.
Later, he continued, There is no one in this race who has a stronger record of passing important, consequential legislation than I have.

(29,098 posts)Face it no matter who our candidate is they are going to be attacked. Being labeled a planner is damning with faint praise. If she chooses to respond to something like this..She will look just fine. It's sad to see our folks have to hit each other but it is a competition.

(7,522 posts)With anything coherent, or that is not deflection? Or explained his banking bill, or numerous other questions? And what does your question have to do with Biden taking a shot at Warren, other than a poor attempt at deflection?
Every Biden supporter on here I've seen didn't like other candidates going after Bien but it's ok for him to do it? Quite a double standard, obviously.

(39,374 posts)She'd push Senate Dems if they are in the majority to end the filibuster, too, to make things happen.
Biden's plan is, what again, Republican epiphanies? And Warren is the fantasist?
I'm afraid he'll have to do better.

How many threads have I seen asking for others to defend Joe?
This is probably the wrong way to go about gathering defenders.

It was just the kind of crowd energy the Biden campaign had hoped to tap as it abruptly shifted gears on Wednesday, revealing a new intensity and an amped up response to the presidents relentless attacks....
Biden didnt even stop with Trump: He also took a veiled shot at Elizabeth Warren, who has overtaken Biden in recent national polls and whose campaign mantra is centered on her dozens of policy plans.
It takes a proven ability to get things done, Biden said in Manchester. Were not electing a planner.

(776 posts)In reality, Biden stated the obvious.
Being POTUS involves much more than coming up with a plan for everything. Any planner can come up with plans. Leading the US domestically and abroad, soothing people in times of grief and disasters or making people's plans go through congress requires experienced leadership.

Outlining this many plans is a bad strategy. It just gives you opponents the chance to pick them apart and use it against you. That's coming.

(32,707 posts)Good one, Biden! At the same time, I like plans! I like a planner! Only thing is, there's a perception in some corners that planners never actually take action. EW will have to show how she's taken a plan and successfully implemented it, and I know that won't be hard to do. We literally saw the changes on our mortgage and credit card statements, etc (before trump struck it all down).

Wont stop the outrage brigade but they are an extreme minority. Most people are emotionally stable and will see this for what it is.
