Joe Biden has long complained about the crowded debate stage and a restrictive format that doesn’t allow enough time for candidates to speak.
In the face of aggressive questioning from Sanders, Biden can now point to record turnout in states like Virginia, which overwhelmingly supported him. Then there’s the fact that he won nearly all of the African American support in Mississippi. What’s more, Biden has won whites by big margins and racked up wins in the cities, suburbs and in rural areas, a fact that advisers hope will give him a sense of confidence against Sanders.In the first debate since Feb.
Sanders, meanwhile, is operating under some self-imposed constraints. The Vermont senator likes Biden and loathes Trump, and he doesn’t want to eviscerate Biden out of concern that it would only weaken him and therefore help Trump, Sanders advisers say. And they note the difficulty of being overtly political onstage at a time when coronavirus dominates the nation’s consciousness.
Because coronavirus has made health care an even more important issue, Sanders is expected to press Biden on his opposition to Medicare for all. Sanders also wants Biden to explain why he advocated for cutting Social Security years ago only to inaccurately suggest he never did.
What now?
I believe biden will bring up his wife's auto accident as a means of gaining sympathy....it would be the 5th time if he does...….be careful about lifetime politcians
Wonder if Joe will threaten to take Bernie outside for a good old fashioned beat down
If Bernie is not in, count me OUT. Biden is a fake.
Joe needs to let Bernie rave on and simply respond with a list of responses starting with repealing the Drumpf tax cut scam, re-joining the Paris Accords, a proposal to upgrade Obamacare and make it very well priced, organizing a Bill to get Detroit building electric cars.
Voters have decided it is over. BernieSanders slow to accept reality.
Just think, this is all the Democrats have!!!! A senile old man, and a communist. Good job dems, such an inclusive group.
Bet that he wonders off the stage or says some crazy shit during the debate lmao. He couldn’t keep focused for a 0:52 video.
He can't finish off his own sentences, FFS.
Biden is completely unequipped for the job. He should drop out now for the good of the country. DropOutBiden
Progressives, independents & old school republicans are about to wander away from Biden, the DNC & voting in the general like Joe wandered away from his first live-stream
What is the debate for? Hopefully no attacks against each other. If it’s repeat of what they promise I am exhausted 😩
You better hope he doesn't.
ByeByeBiden
The infamous debater Joe Biden, is ready scare Bernie with mad speaking skills and more🤦♂️🤷♂️
Joe Biden is intellectually incapacitated.
Well he probably did demand to be able to sit down. Or Jill did. Yep it was Jill. Also is there such a thing as a 'stage wife'? You know like when parents shove their kids into careers at 3?
Dream on.
What did those candidates have to say about Sanders?
FiresideChatWithBernie set the playing field. LFG AllOfUS BuildTogether BernieIsMyPresident
If Biden is the nominee and Trump trounces him in November, how will history judge MSM's role in propping up Biden and working against Sanders all these years
L O L
Y’all are insufferable. 🙄
When is the media going to acknowledge Joe Biden’s cognitive decline?
HAHAHAHAHA no
HaHa! Two Old White Guys!
Except he won’t succeed. He can’t beat Trump without Sanders supporters. Thanks for screwing over our country Biden, great job.
Finish Off The Bern?!Bahahahaha!!!More like Joe will Feel the Bern and show this country exactly what he is A propped up puppet with onset dementia that the Democratic Party is trying to force down our throats!!Bring It!!!!
Just read tweets. Real class. You guys are worse than Chump memes. Grow up. Work for the greater good. You’d really let Chump have it again because like kids you don’t get the toy you wanted? Shame on you.
Admit you have Dementia.
Joe Biden win Washington 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🗳🗳🗳🗳🗳🗳🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🗳🗳🗳🗳
LOL!
Ok, I admit, I clicked the link before reading the title. I fell out of bed laughing so hard at the title. Anyone get past the title to get to the compromises Bernie had to give?
People already made up their mind... they cannot stand a socialist
Bernie is a better debater than Biden...
Knowing his gaffe history, it’s more like he’s going to finish himself off! The guy can’t even do a 5 minutes stream for crying out loud! He was incoherent and rambling, then trailed off offscreen as his aides put him back on stage after cutting off... THIS is your champion?!
Biden has been trying to get the debate cancelled you propagandists
Does anyone actually believe this thinly veiled spin? It’s absolutely shameless
You think Biden can handle a 1 on 1 debate? Lmao this dude forgot he was running for president and called his sister his wife 😭
Good luck with that
Politico this is bullshit!
Preview
Nope he is mistaken..... KANSAS hasnt even voted SO UNFAIR if it were over!!!
OpPoRtUniTy To CoNviNce DeMoCraTs
The real question is/ WHY IS BIDEN RUNNING?
If you actually read this article, it really shows how trashed Biden is going to get. 'I have endorsements and won a bunch of votes' isnt going to help him win the debate. He'll get crushed on policy and will fail to offer solutions. Looking forward to it.
Steal Bernie's supply of Ensure for himself.
Haha
But that why he winning. Go Joe
Believe me, the only person that needs convincing that this race is over is Comrade Bernard Sanders. Bernie needs to end his campaign this week. It's over. IT IS OVER!
This is the same publication that posted this antisemitic horseshit and said “yup, looks good”
Think he doesn't see it that way politico. More show the contrasts. Voters will decide and doesn't need media bs hype.
NeverBiden
Politico doing its daily biding on behalf of corporate hacks under the guise of journalism, while pompously contributing to one more degrading element of American society
This is gonna be great BidenInsultBot
Trying to convince the nation another Trump 4 is a good idea? Yup, that is uncle Joe.
Is he sitting during it proofing he’s weak?
The DNC needs to put a shock collar on Brain Spurs Biden to zap him if he wanders off the stage in a state of confusion looking for the Duty Nurse...
Never Bernie
If his 'video town hall' was any indication, he should retire now while he still has a shred of dignity
Biden 2020!
The dnc modified the terms of the debate because JoeBiden, clearly showing signs of cognitive decline, needed to sit down to debate while BernieSanders disagreed If Joe can’t even stand up to Bernie why should voters trust his abilities vs trump?
Yeah, good luck with that.
GodandtheBear Think again. Forever Berning 🔥
Well, I think someone's campaign may well be over after the debate, but it's not going to be Bernie.
That's all he's got? 'Hey look, all the people Obama told to fold and support me did so!'
Bernie's aim is make Joe look so bad that there's a miraculous turn toward him. Not gonna happen. America will never elect a self-described socialist. Full stop. Mic drop.
Manufacturing consent ...
Most know why, you all dislike him. What you miss, (or don't bother to notice) is that's his appeal. Bernie ppl don't want him to play ball with you, while yall have $50 drinks & nothing changes for citizens.
And a real chance to crash and burn. Good luck Dementia Joe.
AresStopell Lol. Biden is not even going to acknowledge Bernie....he is yesterday's news....now that he is the nominee....he will focus on using debate to go after the orange pumpkin man.....why waste time in someone you've already thoroughly destroyed Lol. Biden2020 bidenbeatstrump
He's borderline incoherent and a liar. This should be fun.
If his virtual town hall is any Indication of how he will do then Bernie will win all the rest of the primaries with no problem at all.
The debate he wanted? Sit down town hall format with low softball and Bernie gotcha questions.
Biden was literally my 5th choice in this race when we started but the anger and meanness of him and supporters turned me from a Warren voter to a Biden voter. I’m not the only one. Sanders clearly can’t turn out the vote.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA nice one.
The race is over. Donny's time is up. Let's get the ball moving.
Biden is going to put Bernie away in a debate? How? Is a ventriloquist going to stick his arm up Joe's ass and move his mouth and speak for him? Old Joe can't maintain a train of thought for more than a couple of sentences. Senile Joe is only viable if he doesn't speak.
Hahaha “finish off Bernie.” We know you hate BernieSanders but this is ridiculous. We don’t even know if JoeBiden cant make coherent arguments for 5 minutes let alone for two hours.
Dude has less than half the reps needed but you want to proclaim it “essentially over”. The only thing essentially over is the dem party. Progressives are 85% of your base. If you don’t listen to our voice you WILL hear our no vote for president.
Bernie is finished: Even his base didn’t turn out
Lmao he wandered aimlessly off camera muttering about Brazil when he tried to do a live stream yesterday.
Is Biden prepared to defend his votes for Iraq and nafta?
Go Biden, Go.
Biden said he will veto Medicare for All, championed the Iraq war, Patriot Act, crime bill, cuts to Social Security & Medicare, bank bailouts....Trump could run to the left of him and win in a landslide. Bernie is gonna expose how weak Biden is.
bish plz - Biden can’t finish a coherent sentence
All Biden needs to do is let Bernie be Bernie and he’ll win the debate.
My suggestion, Joe, is to work with Bernie on the health-care issue. For example: an initiative to train PAs & set up community clinics in every county & large municipality in every State to treat people w/o health insurance, free of charge. Build a bridge with Bernie.❤️🇺🇸💪🏿💪🏽💪
Ah I guess you guys must have missed the part where he doesn’t know where he is
Joe Biden got what he wanted? He wanted a chair 🙄
Joe can't win.
🖕
The entire fall election is over
Why even go? Sanders is a poor loser
I think Sanders wants to debate more than Biden does...
The race is effectively over.
