'Unless Something Changes' It'll Be Hard To Dislodge Voters From Biden's Name ID | MTP Daily | MSNBC
I’d vote for him…what’s his name again?
Michael Bennett. I agree. He’s not too old and he has sound ideas. Not like Warren and Sanders who will raise taxes too high. Biden’s also too old.
America Lost Raise taxes while lowering healthcare costs and other benefits. You left that out.
@E M. Okay, I’ll look into it in more detail. But what about his age? Don’t get me wrong, I’m impressed. I’m retired and have to push myself to walk every morning. But Bernie’s at an age where even those with lifelong good health habits could have sudden and unexpected medical concerns.
From a 44 r old mixed native/white male… Bernie for us 20/20
He will raise taxes too high. There are better plans for health care change.
@America Lost
Bernie is running on a progressive marginal tax rate. Unless you make hundreds of thousands of dollars per year your tax rate will go down. You should do some basic research before posting this garbage. Between higher taxes on the rich and slashing the bloated defense budget there will be more than enough money to implement his policies. A vote for anyone but Bernie is a vote for the 1% and wallstreet and corporations and big pharma and enormous defense spending.
@Evan Fields I’m anything but a fan of the 1%, but the facts you put forward are disputed. And at the very least, great man though he is, there’s a high chance that age will have a negative Impact on his abily to lead. Still if he’s the nominee I’ll vote for him. The Republicans have shown themselves to be completely lacking in integrity.
Accomplices or accessory of tRump’s crimes is what those 30 odd Republican members of Congress look like to the rest of the world (7+ Billion).
The only reason why Biden is still a front-runner is because low info voters vote on name recognition and other shallow reasons. It’s unfortunate that our political system has become a highschool popularity contest void of policies and ideas. I will not vote for Biden or Trump, period. We need an actual candidate who stands for change and who has the best interest of the middle class, poor, and sick, not racists or CEOs and Wall Street. Biden isn’t that candidate. And if people genuinely believe he has the best chance of beating Trump, they’re delusional. The man supported segregation, the bush wars, the racist crime bill that destroyed and separated families, supported NAFTA, etc. Do you really honestly believe he can win among certain demographics and in key states like the rust belt with all of his political baggage? I don’t. We tried an establishment candidate in 2016 and lost. Let’s try a progressive. We ran a progressive candidate in 2008 and won. Why not have a go at it again?
Bernie 2020
Another empty channel like trump
I hope you will change your mind before 2020 and vote.
Anna Torey Agree
America is owned and ruled by corporate greed. And Americans can’t pay for it anymore.
It needs a revolution.
This guy can’t even get his tie right. No wonder he’s one of Biden’s guys. It’s only Bernie in 2020 that has the best chance of beating Trump. All the other Democrats are just pretenders.
Another empty channel like trump
Bernie 2020
He’ll never win. He will raise taxes too high. Plus he’s too old.
@America Lost empty channel empty head like donny
Nope. Bernie 2020.
Bernie’s a lost cause. Too old. Will raise taxes too high. If you want to lose in 2020 back Bernie.
empty channel arguing with empty channel you guys are more stable
MSM pushing the establishment candidate, what a surprise!
diannafreespirit
They’re interviewing him, they’re not “pushing” him. The constant whining from some candidate’s supporters is ridiculous especially since these shows have constantly made offers to every candidate to go on their show.
Biden is never on these shows and they aren’t particularly positive about him except for pointing out that he’s the front runner in polls.
In my view, Biden’s okay but he’s too old – and he isn’t a strong fighter. And Sanders and Warren have unrealistically expensive plans that will raise our taxes too high. The Democrats have some great new faces like Michael Bennett, Pete Buttigieg, Camille Harris, etc they need to get behind if they really want to win the election.
Empty channel your view is meaningless
@Thomas Purcell Don’t know what an “empty channel” is, but you’re obviously stalking me.
I really like Michael Bennett. He’s an intelligent ethical man and a real public servant. I’m glad he’s in the senate.
Perhaps a bidet would help.
With Trump illegally going after Biden at the expense of the American tax payers that was already delagated to the Country of Ukraine trying to get dirt that is not there to begin with while getting the focus off Russia’s wrong doing, all this has done was boost Bidens voter base. Oddly enough, this backfired on Trump. Trump was hoping that it would destroy Bidens base while increasing his base. Trumps administration & Trump stated the Impeachment process would prove his innocence so his Supporters of course wanted the Impeachment process.. *Can you say DUHHH Trumpy Supporters* ? Trump said when the polls reached over 50% , then he would be worried. Well sorry to say, all polls are over 50% now and between 48% to 50% not only wants the Impeachment, but they want Impeachment, CONVICTION and removal of Trump. *Yup Yup, Trump took a big dump in his pants in fear* .
Biden is a failure — just like every other time he ran for president. Same pattern as before: Biden starts out strong, and then withers down to being near the bottom of the pack.
Chuck Todd, the joe Biden of political pundits.
Voting for anyone other then tRump.
And you have no brain is the same declaration. proud of you. you should go back to school.
This was an excellent interview. Thank you, Chuck Todd.
Who is Russia most afraid of? Is it Biden? I think he should be in the Presidency.
The Democrats should march into the Senate and demand Moscow Mitch vote and pass the laws and appropriations bills they have sent to the Senate for the American people! And to impeach Trump and Pence for the High crimes and misdemeanors they have committed.
If Biden is the corporate choice, he’s not mine.
