It seems like the entire rationale for supporting Biden is that he d beat Trump in the debates and then ”viola! ”win the presidency. Just like Clinton did after her debate performances, and Romney did before her.Biden is crap. WF1 for being better than Trump.

If Joe Manchin was the D nom I think I'd stay home.

Not a big Biden fan but he seems to scare Trump which is nice to see.It'd be easier to watch Trump beat up on Biden than have to sit through the ugliness he'd unleash against any of the others.I'm not stumping for Biden here, just musing.The DNC-issued wisdom of "this is the most electable candidate" rightly gives us 2016 flashback nightmares. Lots of people who won last November probably wouldn't have been considered "most electable," but they did run and they won.ps This is still the best Biden story.
