You expect me to watch 2.5 hours of some talk show. Boil it down to something manageable or just forget it.

I don't get this sort of response. If you want to actually form an opinion about a candidate you should listen to them yourself and make your own determination rather than of rely on the interpretations of others.

And just as you don't have to watch every media event concerning a candidate to form an opinion you don't have to watch the entire podcast either.

Joe Biden is delusional and it's sad so many in the democratic party support him.

Bloomberg News reporter Sahil Kapur tweeted that "in New Hampshire, Joe Biden predicts that once President Trump is out of office, Republicans will have 'an epiphany' and work with Democrats toward consensus."

That's because this isn't your father's Republican party.

"This is not your father's Republican party. This is a different outfit” — Joe Biden in 2008

“Folks, this is not your father's Republican Party” — Joe Biden in 2012

“This is not your father’s Republican Party, by the way. This is a different outfit” — Joe Biden (May 13, 2019)

It feels like a rerun of the 2016 Democratic Primaries.

A former member of the Obama administration is the front runner, Bernie Sanders is the runner up and all the other candidates are polling in the single digits.

And let me tell you, if the end result is the same as the 2016 primaries Trump will win the general election again.

I suspect SezMe does not choose to get referrals for what to watch about a candidate from CE.

At this point, anybody who's behind Hillary II is functionally a Trump supporter.

Nonsense.

Why spout meaningless rhetoric like it has some special significance?

How about dealing with the facts as they are today.

1)Trump is dangerously out of control when he Tweets out crap like he going to send his political opponents to jail on trumped up* charges. (*Trumped up will forever have an ironic meaning.)

2) The religious right is out of control passing anti-abortion laws despite the fact a majority of the citizens in this country don't want such laws.

Now, which candidates can best counter these dangerous developments?

I saw Biden this morning on CSPAN holding a poorly attended lackluster rally. It was not inspiring.

Next was Steve Bullock holding a similarly unenthusiastic rally complete with rhyming slogans inserted in his speech that gave me the impression he was trying not to but couldn't help himself.

And the news media continues to give an inordinate amount of time to covering Trump because he continues to make outrageous statements.

This is what we need to address, and making meaningless statements about Clinton does nothing to move the ball.

Biden! Front of the pack primarily because people think that he's the most electable! [he's the only one besides Sanders that is well known.]

ftfy

It's going to be hard for any of the 20+ to break out of the pack. The DNC would be well served to make some more noise about all the rest of the candidates. And if they are supporting Biden we need to throw them all out.

In response to something about Biden & Sanders, how could "Hillary II", complete with the distinguisher added after the name, be literally about Hillary? It obviously must be about not her but somebody nicknamed "Hillary II, which is somebody else... like maybe the more Hillaryous one of the two people who were named in the quote that it was responding to...
