Joe Biden.

Ahh... just heard what the mentally ill Trump said yesterday (?), so now I know why HFB is hoppin’ mad... ”The mother and the doctor meet, wrap the baby beautifully, and then decide if the baby should be EXECUTED!”

And all the Con yayhoos claim this is what Liberals want, or that this is what happens already?  Who knows?  Who cares what is true??  

Not Trump Repubs.

Study: Black voters abandon Biden when told he opposed school integration
by Joseph Simonson | WashingtonPost | May 09, 2019 12:01 AM


A left-wing advocacy group released a survey in April demonstrating that black voters could cost Joe Biden the nomination — once they are familiar with his record.

Data for Progress's memo on "Joe Biden's Electability" tests the assumption that the former vice president is the Democrats' best chance for winning back the White House in 2020. The group surveyed 1,309 voters on their opinions of Biden before and after reading a number of statements critical of his record as vice president and senator.

Black voters who grew familiar with things such as Biden's opposition to integrating Delaware's public schools and initial support for the Iraq War became less likely to support him in a presidential election.

"These statements cause about five percent of black voters to move away from Biden, representing an 8 percent loss among black voters overall," the study's author Sean McElwee writes.

Before learning about Biden's record, "61 percent of black voters reported they would support Biden, 15 percent said they would support Donald Trump, 17 percent said they would hold out for someone else, and 7 percent said they would not vote," writes McElwee.

When the study's participants were read statements from Biden's past, his support dropped to 56%, while 22% of blacks said they would "hold out for someone else" and 8% said they would not vote entirely.

Data for Progress concluded that such a shift among black voters and other groups "was enough to flip Biden, from Biden narrowly defeating Trump to Trump safely beating Biden."

"Considering how much worse things will be in the general election, this should give us pause about Biden’s current strong reputation. That reputation is not necessarily as resilient to the vicissitudes of campaigning as it needs to be in order to defeat Trump in 2020," the study reads.

An 8% loss in black support could significantly damage Biden's chances not only in the Democratic primary, but in a general election. In 2016, Hillary Clinton earned 88% of the black vote, while Trump only won 8%.

Those Clinton numbers were already 5% lower than Barack Obama's in 2012, and Clinton lacked the racial baggage of Biden.

In 1975, Biden argued in favor of black segregation, calling the "concept of busing ... a rejection of the whole movement of black pride." In 1988, Biden spoke of his close relationship with pro-segregationist Sen. Strom Thurmond.

“I get along with Strom Thurmond because I respect him,” Biden said. “Because Strom Thurmond believes deeply in what he does, and he is a consummate legislator. He understands that this country is made up of 240 million people, the most heterogenous, diverse society in the world, and every point of view has to be accommodated."

Joe Biden builds massive lead among black voters
By Paul Steinhauser | Fox News

Joe Biden’s message was clear.

“We’ve got Jim Crow sneaking back in,” the former vice president warned at a rally in Columbia, South Carolina, soon after launching his 2020 Democratic presidential campaign.

Biden, in equating new restrictions on voting eligibility with the heinous racial segregation laws of generations past, was at the same time courting black voters who predominate in the Democratic primary in South Carolina, the first southern state to vote in the race for the White House. The former veep's bond with that critical voting bloc has only strengthened in the weeks since.

For now the clear front-runner in the Democratic nomination campaign, Biden is being boosted at this early stage by his immense popularity with black voters.

For Biden's rivals, this is a daunting factor heading into primary season. The key question going forward, according to former Democratic National Committee leader and Fox News contributor Donna Brazile, is whether the 76-year old white male candidate in a field of young and diverse contenders can “solidify this support.”

According to the latest Fox News poll, Biden stands at 33 percent support among white Democratic voters. But that support rises to 38 percent among non-white likely Democratic primary voters.



Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont is a distant second among that group, at 14 percent. The two major Democratic contenders who are black -- Sens. Kamala Harris of California and Cory Booker of New Jersey -- stand at 6 percent and 5 percent in the survey, respectively.

Every other candidate is also in single digits among non-white likely voters. Notably, Pete Buttigieg, who's risen from obscurity to the upper-middle tier in many polls, stood at just 1 percent among that group. The South Bend mayor acknowledged at a Fox News town hall on Sunday that he needs to do more to appeal to "black and brown" voters, suggesting that minority voters are "skeptical of people who seem to come out of nowhere."

It doesn't hurt Biden that he spent eight years as then-President Barack Obama’s right-hand man, a period that did more than just build his name recognition.

Part cheerleader, part sage and part protector, Biden was always deferential to the nation’s first black president, who extended political affection in return. As they left office in January of 2017, Obama praised his trusted friend and adviser.

“My family is so proud to call ourselves honorary Bidens,” the outgoing president said as he awarded Biden the Presidential Medal of Freedom at a White House ceremony.

While Obama is staying neutral at this early point in the primaries, Biden is running in many ways as his successor.

During his swing through South Carolina, as elsewhere, he was quick to compliment his former boss, calling Obama “one of the best presidents we’ve ever had.”

His standing as Obama’s vice president and his longtime relationships with African-American Democratic leaders across the country are so far helping keep him far ahead of the rest of the field in courting the black vote.

Mo Elleithee, the founding executive director of Georgetown University's Institute of Politics and Public Service and a Fox News contributor, pointed to Biden’s record on civil rights and his eight years serving with Obama, saying that black voters "know Biden's track record" and that "he's been there for them time and time again."

"What you're seeing now is just a validation of a comfort level," said Elleithee, a senior spokesman for then-Sen. Hillary Clinton’s 2008 presidential campaign who later served as communications director for the Democratic National Committee.

"Biden is the guy who gives them a sense of security and comfort, and that he would be a champion for them probably more than anyone else right now," he added during an appearance Monday on Fox News' “The Daily Briefing.”

Brazile said that Biden’s “a place holder because everyone knows him. You call up my nieces and nephews right now, they’ll say ‘Biden’ because they know Biden. They don’t know the other candidates that well.”

But she pointed out that while Biden is a well-known commodity with the older black electorate, “African-American voters are trending young and he’s not as well known. Maybe they were in elementary school when Joe Biden was elected vice president. The question is will he be able to reach out and give them a hopefully optimistic message not only to win their support but broaden participation.”

Elleithee warned that Biden's current standing atop the field doesn't mean that another candidate can't "chip away" at his lead with minority voters.

And Biden can provide his rivals with plenty of ammunition – including his crafting of the now-controversial 1994 crime bill, his vote last decade in favor of the Iraq War, his now-criticized treatment of Anita Hill while Senate Judiciary Committee chairman during the Clarence Thomas Supreme Court nomination hearing, and his initial observation of Obama during the 2008 primaries as “clean and articulate.”

After Biden recently defended the crime bill, which has been criticized in recent years for a spike in incarcerations, especially among minorities, Harris shot back.

“I have a great deal of respect for Vice President Joe Biden, but I disagree,” the senator said last week. “That 1994 crime bill, it did contribute to mass incarceration in our country. It encouraged and it was the first time we had a federal three strikes law. It funded the building of more prisons in the states.”

The comment by Harris could just be an appetizer for things to come.

Brazile noted: “It's early.”

And pointing to Obama’s original White House win, she predicted “we could see a repeat of the 2008 cycle where one of the candidates catches fire in Iowa or New Hampshire or Nevada and all bets [are] off going into South Carolina and Super Tuesday. You will see once again black voters playing an oversized role in the major states on Super Tuesday.”

Biden made $15.6 million in 2 years after leaving office, disclosures show

Most of Joe and Jill Biden’s income in 2017 and 2018 came from book payments and speaking gigs, campaign says

Former Vice President Joe Biden and his wife made $11 million in 2017 and $4.6 million in 2018, according to disclosures released Tuesday.

Most of the couple’s income in those two years after Biden left office came from book payments and paid speaking engagements, the Biden for President campaign said in a press release.

Biden’s “Promise Me, Dad” book came out in 2017, while Jill Biden’s “Where the Light Enters” was published this year. All of the former VP’s speaking engagements were public, and more than half were open to the press, the campaign said. The speaking fees ranged from about $235,000 for a VIP book tour event to $180,000 for a lecture at Vanderbilt University.

The disclosures also show Biden earned about $371,00 in 2017 and $405,000 in 2018 for a post at the University of Pennsylvania, where his title was the Benjamin Franklin Presidential Practice Professor. Jill Biden made about $90,000 in 2017 and $95,000 in 2018 as a professor at Northern Virginia Community College.

The couple’s earnings in 2017 and 2018 were sharply higher than in 2016, when Biden was still vice president and they reported making around $396,000. Their charitable giving also has ramped up since 2016, as they donated about $1 million in 2017, or 9.2% of their adjusted gross income, and about $276,000 in 2018, or 6% of AGI.

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa — Joe Biden left an Iowa teacher unimpressed with his canned response to her question about collective bargaining, but what she resented more was how he abruptly seized her hands and clung onto them.

Joe Biden makes unfortunate ‘Freudian slip’ as he targets ‘Donald Hump’
By Paul Steinhauser | Fox News


MANCHESTER, NH – It’s a line former vice president Joe Biden uses repeatedly on the campaign trail as he jabs at the man he hopes to replace in the White House, President Trump.

But as the front-runner in the Democratic nomination race addressed thousands of party activists at the New Hampshire Democratic Party’s annual convention, he had what he termed a ‘Freudian slip’

“We cannot and I will not let this man be re-elected president of the United States,” Biden said. of Trump. “Limited to four years, I believe history will look at the presidency as an aberrate moment in time.”

“If Donald Hump, Donald Trump, Freudian slip,” he emphasized, to cheers.

Biden corrected himself and delivered the line again, saying “if Donald Trump is re-elected, he will forever and fundamentally alter the character of this nation.”

The former vice president has made a number of high profile gaffes the past couple of months which have gone viral and grabbed headlines. One came during his previous trip to the first-in-the-nation primary state, when Biden mistakenly said he was in neighboring Vermont. And the previous day, he mixed up numerous facts when telling the story of pinning a medal on a soldier during a trip to Afghanistan.

Biden’s campaign has dismissed the verbal slip-ups as part of a national press narrative but they appeared to have raised enough concerns that some allies of the former vice president reportedly suggested he scale back the number of events he did on the campaign trail.

The former vice president – who’s made electability one of his top selling points as he battles for the Democratic nomination - spent much of his address to the audience in New Hampshire targeting Trump.

Repeating a line he uses often on the campaign trail, Biden said Trump “lacks the moral authority to lead…This president has more in common with George Wallace than George Washington.”

Biden isn't 100% together, and isn't my favorite candidate, but on his worst day, he trumps Trump. Of course, that doesn't say much.

Joe Biden Stuns Crowd by Talking about Kids Playing with His Hairy Legs and How Much He Loves Children on His Lap and Roaches… WTH? (Video)
JBy Jim Hoft December 1, 2019

During an earlier campaign stop in Wilmington, Delaware Joe Biden went off script. He went WAY OFF script.

While speaking to a black audience Joe Biden suddenly started babbling about children stroking his hairy legs in the pool and how much he loves to have children on his lap. Also something about roaches?

Joe Biden: And by the way I sit on a stand, I got hot, I got hairy legs that turn, that, that, that, turn blond in the sun. And the kids used to come up and reach in and pull and rub my legs, and watch the hairs rise up again. So I learned about roaches. I learned about kids jumping up on my lap. And I love kids jumping on my lap.

That is one of the craziest lines in political history.

At what point does Joe’s family step in and put an end to this ongoing embarrassment?

The messages from the klown car; My laigs is hairy....No moe aeroplaning in 10 years....free! All free...PLUS $1000 /week
And wonder why Trump will win again?

And if we don't agree with those blood clots...We raciss or we old and need to die.

Biden says Buttigieg 'stole' his healthcare plan
Trevor Hunnicutt

FORT DODGE, Iowa (Reuters) - U.S. Democratic presidential contender Joe Biden said on Monday that his fast-rising rival Pete Buttigieg “stole” the former vice president’s healthcare policy proposals, as the two battle for support in the early nominating state of Iowa.

Biden, among the leaders in the 16-member Democratic field for the right to take on Republican President Donald Trump in next year’s election, is proposing expanding the Affordable Care Act.

Popularly known as Obamacare, the healthcare law was the signature domestic policy achievement of former Democratic President Barack Obama, whom Biden served as No. 2.

Biden would add a “public option,” allowing individuals to opt into a government plan but preserving the existing role for private insurers.

Like Biden, Buttigieg, the mayor of South Bend, Indiana, favors the public option and coined the phrase “Medicare for all who want it” to describe the concept.

“He stole it,” Biden told reporters on his campaign bus in Iowa. Biden said he would have been criticized if he had copied someone else’s health plan.

“What would you have done to me? You’d have torn my ears off,” he said.

A spokesman for Buttigieg’s campaign declined to comment but pointed to statements by Buttigieg about “Medicare for all who want it” that pre-date Biden’s current presidential campaign.

Biden was in Iowa for eight straight days of campaigning to thwart a slide in public opinion polls that has benefited Buttigieg, who leaped into first place in some recent surveys there. The Iowa caucus on Feb. 3 will be Democrats’ first nominating contest.

Polls show U.S. Senators Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren are also in the running in Iowa. Both are pushing for a government-backed Medicare for All system that would provide federal health insurance coverage for all Americans based on the government-run Medicare program for Americans 65 and older.

Biden, who still enjoys a lead among Democrats in national polls, has largely avoided attacking Buttigieg.

Asked about the mayor by reporters on Sunday, Biden said: “Anything I say about Pete will be taken as being a criticism or a negative about Pete, and I don’t have any negative feelings about Pete at all. I think he’s a talented guy.”

Buttigieg is expected back in Iowa to campaign on Friday.

"“What would you have done to me? You have torn my ears off,” he said."

Leggo mah ears, I know mah bidniz!!

I hate the whole health insurance nightmare. Just get employers to provide it as a fully paid benefit again. ( ya know, like when we wuz grate )

I hate the whole health insurance nightmare"

We just switched to a medicare advantage plan to greatly reduce the supplemental insurance cost.
We are changing from an aarps plan that's a little over $600/ month.

I understand those (advantage plans) are cheaper but have weird restrictions if something should actually happen to you. I have a few years to go before I get into the Medicare system so I don't know all the details. Most people certainly can't afford $600./month, that's for sure, especially as they get older. I don't think I made that much at my first job! It's all highway robbery.

Biden says he would consider Harris for vice presidential slot
James Oliphant | Reuters

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A day after U.S. Senator Kamala Harris ended her 2020 presidential bid, former Vice President Joe Biden, a leading contender for the Democratic nomination, said on Wednesday he would consider her as a potential running mate.

Biden, with whom Harris clashed during a Democratic debate earlier this year, praised her after a campaign event in Ames, Iowa.

“Senator Harris has the capacity to be anything she wants to be,” Biden told reporters, according to a video posted by CBS News. “I talked to her yesterday. She’s solid. She can be the president one day herself. She can be the vice president. She can go on to be a Supreme Court justice.”

Biden and Harris had a contentious exchange over forced busing in public schools in the first Democratic debate in Miami in June. It was a standout moment for Harris, who saw her fortunes briefly rise in her party’s contest for the right to challenge Republican President Donald Trump in next year’s election.

But any rift appears to have been closed. Biden praised Harris effusively on Tuesday after she dropped out. Harris was close friends with Biden’s son Beau, before he died of brain cancer in 2015.

Biden told reporters on Wednesday that “of course I would” consider Harris to be his running mate.

Earlier this year, Harris, 55, was viewed as a prime contender in the crowded Democratic presidential field. But organizational and financial woes, along with her struggles to make a compelling case for her candidacy, derailed her campaign.

The U.S. senator from California could potentially bring much to a ticket. A former prosecutor, state attorney general and only the second black woman elected to the Senate, she is still considered a rising star within the party.

After Harris’ exit, 15 Democrats are left to battle for the party’s nomination.
