Maybe that's Uncle Joe's strategy. Say so many gaffes that it's hard to pinpoint one 'tree in the forest'.......
That's BRILLIANT! To some degree, that strategy has worked for DJT.....
Your benchmark is if the media finds it worthy to "play"? Duly noted.

Obviously, folks who don't like Biden may pick on this remark (I doubt even that, but perhaps). They won't vote for him anyway. Those on the Left won't view it as a gaffe, nor will folks in the middle UNLESS it gets picked up by the media.
This is simple stuff. You average Joe in June is not analyzing every word out of someone's mouth UNLESS the MSM runs with it.
So, yes, it only counts if it gets highly publicized and folks notice. I don't even view this as a gaffe myself. Everyone can have their own views on that of course. But had I not seen it here, I would never have known about it anyway.

I THINK we may be down already to Warren-v-Harris. That well may be premature.
I thought the media were siding with the former but the'd be happy to take either, and Harris is younger of course.
Of course it's premature... but likely correct. The DNC is fast becoming a party without a place for white men.

I do think that the Obama's have thrown Biden under the bus. They used him to get the moderate wing of the party on board in 2008 and have pitched him aside for a kindred spirit, likely in Harris.
IF this is the case, Biden better shift his game plan in a hurry

Biden is from the old Clinton camp. The Ozeros are taking over the dem party. They do not like the Clintons.
DC is a symptom, not the cause. The cause is basic voter stupidity and economic ignorance.

Quote:no disagreement here. Â I'll be honest, and I never thought I'd say this, but I hope the Clinton wing wins the Dem party.
That could only be Biden. The rest are communists.

There are 2-3 other unknowns who are relatively moderate out there. I forget who they are now, which is salient.
I think there are two possibilities here:
1. A relatively moderate nominee who will do less damage but is more likely to win the general, or
2. A relatively extreme leftist who might do a lot of damage but is less likely to win.
Both would nominate liberal judges and justices, so probably little difference there. Both would be effectively limited by Congress and the Senate in what they could really DO in office. One would lay on more regulations probably.
