Joe Biden, hoping to hold his surprisingly strong lead in the 2020 presidential field, held his first large-scale rally in Philadelphia on Saturday

in a less polarized era, Biden promised to work across the partisan aisle — defying skeptics within his own party who worry that Biden’s old-school style is outdated and not confrontational enough to defeat Trump.“They say Democrats are so angry — that the angrier a candidate can be, the better chance he or she has to win the Democratic nomination,” Biden told the sun-drenched crowd in Philadelphia. “Well, I don’t believe it. I believe Democrats want to unify this nation.

For nearly the entirety of Biden’s speech, a protester blew a whistle, but Biden brushed it off with good humor and repeated his promise to not speak ill of his Democratic rivals.that began with an announcement video and a series of smaller events in Iowa and other early-voting states. The next phase will be more politically risky, as he will begin rolling out more detailed policies on subjects expected to include climate change and healthcare. And the first debates among Democratic candidates loom at the end of June. Biden will be forced to drop his above-the-fray approach to engage his rivals more directly.signifies the importance of Pennsylvania

The rally drew both enthusiastic Biden supporters and people who were still trying to decide whom to support in 2020. Biden’s challenge will be to draw in people such as Lauren Greenberg, an 18-year-old from the Philadelphia suburbs, who likes Biden for his connection with the Obama administration, but wishes a woman would be nominated and would prefer it if his policies were more progressive.

In his rally speech, he made clear that his pitch to Democratic primary voters would be not on specific policies but on his ability to beat Trump.“As long as Donald Trump is in the White House none of these things are going to get done,” he said.

Your 46 years of compromising and “fixing” is what is wrong. Since we can’t get rid of government programs, the best we can do is have a government that doesn’t grow. Never give an inch!

He's so naive. He watched the Republicans try to destroy Obama and he wants a love fest. How stupid can you be.

Biden on vacation

CreepyJoeBiden CreepyUncleJoe He's the worst candidate running. Period. They hadn't even started talking about his shady deals in Ukraine and China. His scandals. Corruption. And his abysmal voting record. True pile of💩, but the media is polishing this turd

What are you willing to compromise, how about abortion? Buying soda with food stamps? Taxes? Spending?

That is comedic. Who did he hire to write that piece of fiction?

Not only is he right, but a moderate Dem talking about compromise & bipartisanship (however unrealistic) will do something the progressive Dems can’t - win votes of moderates (incl conservatives) in key swing states (MI, PA, WI, etc) who’ve long abandoned Trump.

Let’s start by giving and building the wall!!

He should e addressing pelosi and not trump!

Says the man who never compromised, because he never accomplished anything real. A master at meaningless vagueries. 'Elect me so I can sit in the oval office and smell girls' hair.' Who would give the oval office to this do-nothing creepo?

The perverted vice president.

'its his fault, no its your fault, no it's that guy's fault, vote blue, vote red, no vote blue, no vote red.'

Good intentions but he doesn't have an honorable partner.

And then went on to attack Trump...

And he has zero to show for all those years.

A lifetime corrupt politician. No

Sadly, he's another PHONY, who always marks his words very CAREFULLY as he speaks (u can see the wheels moving inside)..very Cautious NOT 2 SAY the Wrong thing, even as a joke which could be Interpreted in the Wrong Way which means 'Trouble' w/ a capital T as the Music Man said!

Democrats are fine with Republicans compromising, but they won’t compromise with the Republicans. 🙄

Wants to take us back to Obama’s dismal economy... no thanks 👎

Sad thing is his party doesn’t know the meaning of the word “compromise.”

JoeBiden hasn’t done sh1t in this many years. We suppose to believe that he gonna do something in 4? 😂😂😂

Biden wants to cut SS. Greenspan to Ryan regarding SS “insolvency risk”: Nothing prevents the gov from creating as much 💰 as it wants to & paying it to retirees. Only limit on gov spending is availability of real resources and inflation:

Compromise isn't a dirty word to most people, but as long as McConnell controls the Senate it isn't going to happen.

Compromise on what, exactly? Joe doesn’t need to compromise with the Republicans because he’s one of them.

How about retiring? There are more people in America, who are smarter, more capable and younger than most of the career politicians.

He’s not lying.

Start with YOU!!

Them first.

Biden is a right wing democrat. Groping joe will not win given the metoo movement which will take him down as the DNC conversation gets closer and not a minute before.

Tell that to Pelosi!

Its getting fixed, but thanks Joe. Now stay away from the children.

U'LL bEe A piLL0r of ELAphant iDiOLg WoNdAy¡!¡

Ya let people who are 36 make the decisions. You’ll be in the ground soon

PEOPLE ARE FIGHTING FOR A REASON! We can't pretend this country and the world isnt having a reckoning, either we face it now and the good wins out or we try to ignore it and evil festers.

The problem is what Joe is willing to compromise on. He's willing to compromise on all the bad policies both parties have been pushing for the last few decades and in return get nothing for the people. NoJoe NeverBiden

Compromising... like campaigning for an anti-abortion Republican?

Whys his whole crowd behind him? He’s facing the wrong way.
