Democrats want White House hopefuls to cool it on Biden attacks

Democratic lawmakers warn that Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) and other White House hopefuls taking shots at front-runner Joe Biden are playing with fire and could wind up helping President Trump win reelection.

While there are disagreements about the former vice president in the Senate Democratic caucus, Democratic senators are rising to his defense after Booker demanded Biden apologize for recounting his collegial relationship with two segregationist former senators, James Eastland (D-Miss.) and Herman Talmadge (D-Ga.).

Lawmakers fear the 2020 Democratic presidential primary field is becoming a circular firing squad, with Trump winding up as the beneficiary of internecine fighting.

“I think everybody is picking on him, press as well as others. He’s the front-runner so he’s the one to shoot down, so to speak,” said Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), who served with Biden for years in the Senate.

To be fair, Feinstein's so old that she's served with everyone in the Senate. DiFi and RBG = two peas in an old pod.

Democrats will not tolerate a circular firing squad because democrats are never wrong, no matter how wrong they are. With the GOP, it’s SOP.

LOL! Nasty is what nasty does, and rats are nasty. They can’t help themselves, like fatties at a buffet.

The Media is part of the Democrat Party. The Media enjoys to promote division and make nasty comments each day.

Pelosi described Biden as "authentic," and noted he has support among African Americans.
“Joe Biden seems to have tremendous support in the African American community, ......." Pelosi said.

Yes, he did....up until now.

Current Dem presidential front-runner candidate Joe Biden in 1975 on reparations for blacks:"
“I don't feel responsible for the sins of my father and grandfather... I'll be damned if I feel responsible
to pay for what happened 300 years ago." (SOURCE Citizen Free Press)

Dims are worried this segregation stuff will depress black turnout in the general if Biden is the nom. For once Spartacus is getting flak because he is over the target.

Want viewership you normally won’t get..... They know some will tune in to the radical channels to see this type of stuff happening. Its like making the mistake thinking Obama would be a better choice than Hillary and feeling good that she didn’t make it the first time. Reality is just like to today there are NO good choices when it comes to Rats....
