It wasn’t a surprise that Biden didn’t win in Iowa or NH, but he finished pretty far down in the pack. He’s far enough down, that it starts to hurt the perception of him being a viable candidate.
He’s based everything on SC, and some reports are saying his support may be fading in SC. How well do you think he needs to do to salvage his campaign? I think he certainly needs to win SC and may even need to win by a significant margin to be able to be relevant going forward. Personally, I think 2016 was his best chance, but it was “her turn.”
First, you certainly don’t need saving. You stand your ground quite well.
With the hopes of some form of amity let’s try this again. I recall saying some time ago Joe would not have staying power due to age and gaffes. After watching him, he ‘s still campaigning like it was in the pre-social media era and he’s just not current with the times.
My guess is he’s looking for an exit strategy. I’m sure his people along with the leaders in the party are trying to get as many people to drop out of the race to get that one person they can gravitate too and build a war chest to take on Trump.
Mike Bloomberg is certainly and interesting element, but after watching him speak publicly yesterday and some of the racially insensitive comments that have come out he’s not going to just buy his way to the nomination. The other candidates have had the experience of debating, campaigning, town halls, interviews while Bloomberg is currently relying on tv ads and social media.
The next debate will have Bloomberg on stage and that should be a very interesting event as people like Warren and Sanders are vehemently anti-billionaire, taking on a guy that is the embodiment of what they feel is wrong in the nation taking on each other.
