John Heilmann ("The Circus"): Buttigieg events in Iowa better attended...

...and more energy than Biden events. Buttigieg better organized on the ground. Biden voters (older) are more reliable, but a larger turnout may indicate Pete os bringing new people in.

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

1. This is my issue with Biden

I do not believe the hype that he is best to beat Trump. They said hardly anyone shows up at Biden events and its very low energy
(nice term for boring)

I just do not know if Biden is the nominee that we can sleep our way to beating Trump. We need energy & excitement.

I guess the only hope is if Biden gets a VP candidate that can bring the energy.

Because right now I can see the future & its going to be images of Trump in filled stadiums with people lined up around the corner then Biden events in smaller places having a hard time filling up the rooms.

Trump consistently calling him Sleepy Joe

I know that doesn't mean everything but it does mean something.

Is anyone else concerned about this ?

Biden is the perfect foil for Trump.

The anti-Trump.

He is absolutely perfect candidate for the Democratic Party to run against Trump.
