In reply to the discussion: I now believe Joe Biden will run for President in 2020. [View all]S.E. TN Liberal
(508 posts)It wasn't "some Duers" who started this thread, it was me. You won't hear me attacking Hillary, Nancy Pelosi, or Dianne Feinstein due to their age.
In 2016 I voted for Bernie Sanders in the Primary and then for Hillary in the General election.
I never had any doubt that Hillary was more qualified. I just felt that I agreed with the positions I have heard Bernie articulate over the decades I have listened to him speak out more than I agreed with Hillary's positions. Universal health insurance is an idea I strongly support. Bernie has argued for it for many, many years. He did not have to be persuaded to change his mind to support it.
My position regarding Joe Biden in particular is because of the catastrophe that will be left behind when TraitorTrump finally is gone, America will need someone with a great deal of experience to do damage control.
I don't know of any of the committed, or potential, candidates who I believe have the level of experience that Joe Biden has to do the job.
I get the feeling many DUers are thinking of putting "Party" ahead of "country" when they are willing to pass on Joe Biden for a "newer" or "younger" un-named person who does not have the "experience" he has.
Perhaps I am missing someone who is going to run, or at least likely to, who could do the repair I feel Joe Biden will be able to do.
If anyone can persuade me that a "newer" or "younger" person is right for the job, I am all ears.
