Biden Is Still King of the Moderates -- But Will It Last?

Throughout this primary season, poll after poll has indicated that Democratic voters are overwhelming focused on finding a candidate who can make Donald Trump a one-term president. By a 2-to-1 ratio, likely primary voters place beating Trump above selecting a nominee who shares their policy positions.

This overarching goal also serves as the main justification for former Vice President Joe Biden’s candidacy. On the stump, in fundraisers, and on the debate stage, a central component of his appeal is his claimed ability to carry the moderates and independents necessary recapture the electoral votes of Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania. His voters certainly seem to believe as much — in the most recent YouGov/Economist survey, 63% of his supporters valued beating President Trump over ideological alignment

Democrat “moderates” are all in the GOP now. We call them RINOs.

The moderate women backbone of the party cringe at the thoughts of the Squad stain on them personally.

They will desert. They will not turn out or they will hold their noses and vote for Trump. Dotto many lack voters

Joe is a loser and always will be.

His whole candidacy is built upon sand and is, in essence, nothing more than nostalgia and name recognition

The assumption that he is the only one who can beat Trump is laughable at face value when you take your liberal blinders off.

Will the Mueller testimony help Biden? I am not sure. It would seem that power is shifting back to Pelosi and the less insane in the party. We will have to see how loud the drum beat of impeachment is sounded over the next week or so.

Biden will flame out in Mueller-like fashion. He’s aged 15 years in the last 5 years.

Biden Is Still King of the Moderates

The next meeting of the Moderates will be held in a phone booth in Dubuque Iowa. No reservations required.

Biden is in the pocket of the chicoms. His son was the conduit for a billion dollar pay off via the Ukrainian’s from China.
