Interesting…
Joe Biden WAS the Vice President of the United States for Eigth years…
He lived foreign policy….
The Bad and the Good…
A spokeswoman for Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) said that Democratic presidential candidates in the 2020 race — namely frontrunner and former vice president Joe Biden — will have to answer for their records.
“At the end of the day, all of these candidates have to justify their records,” Briahna Joy Gray, a national press secretary for Sanders’s campaign, told Hill.TV on Monday.
“That’s why it’s so remarkable to have someone like Bernie Sanders who does have a long, long record … just as long as Joe Biden,” she added.
Gray added that, unlike Biden, Sanders’s long record, particularly on foreign policy has been viewed as a strength rather than a vulnerability.
“He’s considered to be one of the best candidates — I think the best candidate — on foreign policy because he’s shown that kind of impressive judgment again and again when it comes to perhaps the greatest responsibility of the chief executive.”
Biden’s backing for the Iraq War has made him a ripe target for attacks from his fellow 2020 rivals.
Sanders, who places second behind Biden in most national polling, told the Los Angeles Times editorial board last week that the former vice president’s record in the Senate would make him an easy target for President Trump in a general election.
“If you’re a Donald Trump and you got Biden having voted for the war in Iraq, Biden having voted for these terrible, in my view, trade agreements, Biden having voted for the bankruptcy bill. Trump will eat his lunch,” Sanders said in the interview.
Biden later hit back, saying “Tell him come and I’ll give him some dessert at the White House.”…..

Up to now?
Direct attacks on Joe Biden result in Democratic nominee candidates LOSING poll numbers…

Despite the claim here, I have not seen any evidence that Buttigieg has “gone down” in polls. He seems to have surged.
Nevertheless, he is doing the same thing as Sanders now and is attacking Biden from the left on foreign policy, especially related to the Iraq War vote. Buttigieg has also now come out in favor of the decriminalization of all drugs. In the last debate, he spoke in favor of slavery reparations.
He may be trying to position himself to win liberal primary votes if Sanders and Warren falter, but I think this is a risky strategy for him. He ought to try to point out his differences with them and be available for Biden supporters who might be more to the center if Biden flames out. His best long-term strategy would be to be in position to take over the party and move it away from the far-left or in a generational sense if Democrats fail to take out Trump, which would be a colossal failure on their part.
Buttigieg is NO LONGER the flavor of the month….
A month ago he led the polls in Iowa and NH…
He’s riding in 4th place in the single digit class and under constant political attack…
He’s never gonna be the nominee cause black people won’t vote for him…
Wishful thinking on him….
The black people that are supporting him would find it surprising that you have decided they are not actually black people.
