I think what we are going to get is more posturing for the two campaigns to come together, with Dementia Joe winning of course, and CCB trying to get Joe to agree with a few of his positions so he can convince his Bernie Bots to migrate to Biden's campaign without calling him a sellout like he did in 2016.

This is Bernie's last rodeo.  This is his legacy swan song. Grifting probably doesn't mean as much to him in his sunset years.  I suspect he will stay true commie.  It's up to Joey to confront or not.

But I have a feeling this is going to be the "nicest" debate ever seen in the history of politics. I didn't think that until the day every one thought that CCB was going to bow out of the race a few days ago. I think tonight will be more of a concession appearance, with a little bit of maneuvering with Biden to get a few concessions to throw to his "bots" to make him look like less of a sell out, than tonight will resemble any kind of real debate.

I'm more looking forward to any joe-gaffes.

Not in real time, though.  I'll catch 'em on the highlight reel.

The name calling, throwing dirt, talking over each other? No it won't be like that. Sanders will say his thing, Biden will say his, they'll agree to disagree and then it'll be open season on trump.
I expect them to label the Coronavirus as the trump virus

CCB isn't even going to even TRY to win the nomination by winning the debate. Mr GET OFF MY LAWN YOU KIDS!!! can run circles around Stuttering Joe and point out just how weak he is one on one, if he were still really trying to win the nomination, but I don't think he going to do that, I think tonight is going to be an extended concession speech by CCB with a little bit of trying to get Biden to concede on a couple of issues to placate the Bernie Bots.  

How did it go?  How did Tulsi do?

However, Bernie did get Joe to lie about one issue.  Bernie accused him in the past of wanting to cut Medicare, Medicaid and Veterans Benefits.  Joe said he never said anything like that.  Said it was a lie.  There are plenty of YouTube videos online that show him advocating these same cuts when he was a Senator.  Not exactly a knock-out punch, but the only time someone was bloodied during a boring debate.  

I recorded it "just in case" it turned out to be worth watching, but I am erasing the recording without even bothering to look for any "highlights"  

I just read the initial the thread and ignore all the other minutia that follows.....been doing that alot lately...carry on

and from what I have heard, we were both right. lol

goes with Liz in order to try to snag more Bernie voters, or else . . . . someone level-headed, well-spoken and capable of stepping in once his mind is completely gone, like Tulsi.    (Longshot . . . . Michelle Obama).  

is to pander to the black vote.  He's already got whatever Trump doesn't get in the general, so she brings nothing to the table for him.  I agree Amy is a good possibility, but I said Tulsi only because she could possibly bring some rightie voters over from Trump because she was more in the center than any other Dem in the field.   Amy would not bring those voters over.  

who are just looking for some reason to vote for the Dems that reassures them the country is not going Socialist.  Tulsi would bring that to the ticket.  

Assuming Biden v Trump or even Bernie v Trump, whoever is elected in Nov 2020 will not complete their term. B, B or T will either drop dead, stroke out and have to be removed from office, or will be found to be medically or psychologically unfit to carry out the duties of POTUS and be 25th Amendmented out.

The VP candidate needs to be a viable Presidential candidate to the satisfaction of the voters choosing that ticket.

C'mon man....there aren't enough never trumpers to lure Tulsi...I wasted 1 minute more then this thread deserved.

The general consensus seems to be that Biden won by simply not keeling over or forgetting his own name.  Expectations were so low he just had to avoid drooling.
