“This field is going to be winnowed out pretty quickly,” Joe Biden said. “...It’s going to work its way through relatively quickly for all of us.”

That’s the message several of former Vice President Joe Biden’s rivals for the Democratic presidential nomination are sending with their recent campaign moves., told reporters in Los Angeles this week. “...It’s going to work its way through relatively quickly for all of us.”

O'Rourke's campaign manager, Jennifer O'Malley Dillon, told NBC News that his team is ready for either a protracted primary or a race that he can lock down quickly.Telegraphing the possibility of a long-slog delegate fight — and recognizing the reality of Biden's early strength — is also a useful frame for Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., currently emphasizing the value of voters of color in key swing states that President Donald Trump won in 2016.

Harris' case against the"electability" argument for Biden revolves around the idea that the Democratic nominee will need a coalition that includes an energized contingent of voters of color. Right now, Biden is not only the far-and-away leader in the Democratic race, with a 41.4 percent mark in the Real Clear Politics average of polls, but he is the favorite among black and Hispanic voters.

"At a time when the biggest financial institutions in this country were trying to put the squeeze on millions of hardworking families who were in bankruptcy because of medical problems, job losses, divorce or death in the family, there was nobody standing up for them," she said."I got in that fight because they just didn’t have anyone. And Joe Biden was on the side of the credit card companies.

Whether it's a long fight or a short one, Biden appears to have determined that his best path is to keep focused on Trump and ignore any slights from his primary rivals.

Where’s Bernie in that pic? Needed to add the token woman of color instead, I guess.

What about Marianne Williamson entering the race?

So when will Trump drop out? I'm waiting

Trump is setting up Biden like a bowling pin. He is manipulating the Dem. primary slanting it to Joe. He has enough on Joe to eat him up. Trump does not want a younger person to make him look old. He is all about image, and Joe has a history Trump can exploit and he looks old.

“The Democrat Party is being torn apart in I can’t tell you how many directions and how many ways, and it’s largely because of this new craving of socialism that some of the young ones have, and this constant demanding for talking about impeachment.” - Rush Limbaugh

If Dems actually want to beat Trump they need to nominate Uncle Joe. Rest can run for VP.

How Joe Biden could win the battle but lose the war to Trump in 2020Cook Political Report's David Wasserman is challenging two broadly-accepted understandings of the 2020 presidential race: that Joe Biden's moderation muddies his chance to lead a left-leaning Democratic Party, while his broad acceptability and blue-collar appeal makes him the strongest Democrat against Trump. Who? Biden? Just wait for bombshell his dealing in Ukraine. If anyone truly believes we should go back to Obama's apology tour, giving away manufacturing, not being energy independent, handcuffing our military and opening our borders is a friggin fool no matter how you 'FEEL' about Trump.
