He and Carter seem to share similar views on Religion
Kloubachar and Booker visited him him a few months ago. Nice to see dems embrace Jimmy after spending years trying to keep a distance from "a failed president"
Be interesting to see who he endorses since he voted for Bernie last time. But also speaks fondly of Biden if you read his books. Biden was one of the first senators to endorse him and very loyal - the first person to inform him Ted Kennedy was going to challenge for the nomination.
There's going to be ridiculous pressure on the eventual nominee to pick someone based on their diversity status. Sanders is right to not commit to anything.
actual words: "cory booker says he will name a woman as his running mate, will you make the same pledge?"
the posted tweet: "would you name a woman as a running mate"
so not only did it change from "will you pledge to name a woman" to "would you name a woman", the interviewer then says "...person of color", clearly adding that onto his original question. so its also "will you pledge to name a person of color" and not "would you name a person of color". bernie clearly thinks its too early to commit to any potential vp, regardless of what demographic boxes they check

Bros before hoes - Bernie 2020
Bernie was right not to say now.
But if he is the nominee, it will be Nina Turner.
Yeah it's trying to be a gotcha question as if somehow Bernie doesn't pick a women of colour(They always mean a black women, liberals have a real
racial fetishism with black women)then he's somehow a racist. My only issue is Bernie never calls interviewer out for this, he always too nice or too worried that he will alienate at certain voter base.
Also agree with you if Bernie wins he will pick Nina which would will be a brilliant choice.
If you have heard Nina Turner speak about Bernie, you realize why she supported him so strongly in 2016 and not Hillary.
Bernie actually wants to help all people. He recognizes that black people are the most disadvantaged.
Hillary and other Democrats only want the black vote. They do nothing for them. In fact many of them pass legislation that harms them.
Most of those who voted for Trump had Bernie as their second choice in 2016.
Trump lied about all he was going to do and in fact did the opposite.
If we are talking electability.

so how are we spinning this, Bernie is a sexist and racist because he isn't confirming whether or not he will pick a person of colour who is a woman
There's no way that's true.
This was said in 2016 from several sources and once again said recently.
It makes sense because neither of them gave the same Corporate lines.
Probably among the democrats that voted Trump it is true.
Trump actually talked a lot of sense during his campaign. Can't fault those who voted him for believing him (or wanting to believe him), after decades of being lied by the democratic party and the
He ended up being more of the same status quo, but it was worth a try, giving the other alternative was hackish Hillary.
Sure, but.. I mean, isn't that a bit self-evident? Democrats who voted Trump weren't Clinton supporters, so that doesn't really leave us with many options.
Said by who? That's the vaguest possible way you could phrase that.
At the end of the day, most Trump voters were perennial Republicans. And I'm pretty sure most of them wouldn't vote for a self-professed socialist.
You mean the Mexicans sending rapists part, or the mocking a disabled reporter part?
Trump talked about jobs and health care.
Of course he blamed the Democrats, Obama and illegals for all the problems.
Bernie addresses the very same issues and more except he offers solutions not blame.
EDIT:
Many Trump voters were Reagan Democrats and had traditionally voted Democrat.
But Clinton with NAFTA screwed them.
The Rust belt suffered.
Obama gave his Hope and Change and he also produced nothing.
I don't see how any of this results in the sentence "most Trump voters had Bernie as their second choice". You can think of as many reasons as you want, but there's still no way that most Trump voters had Bernie second. Most Trump voters had other Republican candidates second.
This was said several times by presenters on political shows.
You can dispute it of course and say they don't know what they are talking about.
Trump voters rejected other candidates like Jeb Bush, Rubio and Cruz who are deficit hawks
These candidates never addressed their real concerns. Just like Hillary never addressed them.

woooooo Go #resistance
This is a bit of a long read

Need to bring up the facts about Biden and his votes.
I think polls like that in red states should be treated as dodgy. Don't get complacent. Quite possible people polled are saying one thing but secretly mean the other. The economic numbers are good so I expect Trump (if it holds to 2020) to have more support there. I don't believe there is that much competitiveness against Trump from so many of the field.
When they debate the issues, no one will be ahead of Bernie.
We will see the others move closer to his views especially on Health Care , Climate Change and free tuition.
The last two will drive younger voters.

Arizona tends to skew to the center for Dems so this sort of number isn’t particularly surprising. Sinema won there last year and David Garcia, who ran as a Sanders style progressive, got clobbered by a very beatable GOP incumbent Governor.

A lot of unavailable tweets
The account just got suspended. Basically someone asked Biden (in 2007) why Iowa schools are better than DC schools and one of the first things he said was along the lines of "Iowa has less black people". And its obviously not what he said outright but its very telling that his mind immediately went to that and blamed it.
Heres a screenshot
I mean, Biden is a creep, but from my perspective that's harmless banter in 2006. More worrying is his hand position at the end.
@Eboue could you please make that screenshot a little bit bigger, my eyesight isn't what it used to be since I passed 30.
Yet again Americans will have to chose which racist grandparent they like the most.
This is why Democrats lost last time . Too much bitter infighting and dirty tricks on each other,.
That's why I don't care what Democrat faces Trump so long as they win

Biden and Trump will get on like a house on fire.
