 What are your thoughts on Joe Biden? Did you expect him to run and I mean he's obviously running now But what are your thoughts on how how he's done so far and how do you think he'll do in the in the primary? Yeah, you know, I did expect him to run Although he was waiting so long that I kind of had like this still hope inside of me that thinking maybe he won't run But he's running and the way that I view Joe Biden is he's kind of like the Hillary Clinton of 2020 where he's painfully out of touch He doesn't actually talk to ordinary people. He just is talking to the elites I mean on his very first day he held a fundraiser with a Comcast lobbyist So that tells you pretty much everything you need to know about him in terms of how he'll do during the primary I mean you can't deny that he's polling extremely well He's surpassing Bernie in most polls from what I understand although I'm fully expecting him to face plan and this is because Everything he says he manages to piss off somebody like he is so tone deaf so out of touch And I just can't see him sustaining this momentum I kind of am thinking and this is just speculation that he'll kind of have the same problem that Hillary has When the more you hear from him the less you like him and that's just my thoughts Maybe it's me projecting because I personally can't stand Joe Biden But the way that I kind of have been looking at this is people view Joe Biden Nostalgically like everyone loves Obama and They view the Obama days as giving Americans a lot of stability There was not really any change and to me I view that as a bad thing but a lot of people liked that there wasn't like a nonstop scandal every single day and just Blame in stupidity like we see with Donald Trump. So I think a lot of people long for those days But when they hear him speak I Think they're probably going to realize. Yeah, we only like Joe Biden because we associated him with Obama But he's nothing like Obama. There's no charm. There's no charisma. There's just an old old out-of-touch dude who Doesn't really know what normal Americans are Dealing with so I suspect he will face plan but anything is possible, you know in Modern American politics because I mean Trump is president. So I'm not gonna discount him But I think he probably won't have any message that resonates. Yeah, so I definitely agree with most of your analysis I do have a small worry though Just just based on name recognition alone that it's gonna carry him far the way that it carried Hillary Clinton far So at the time, I mean when Hillary was going up against Bernie Bernie didn't have much name recognition at all but now that Bernie does have that name recognition. I at least think there is a good chance that Bernie will win this primary because of that but He still has this candidate beside him in Biden where you have I mean just decades long experience in politics that just being in the public eye in general Do you do you worry at all that that name recognition is going to carry him farther than maybe he deserves to be? Absolutely because name recognition can do Wonders for a candidate's career. I mean Donald Trump the name recognition I mean we saw how powerful that was when he trumped for lack of a better word, you know the entire field You know 16 candidates Joe Biden could have the same effect It's kind of why I think we saw Bernie Sanders get a boost towards the end of the primary Especially because everyone just kind of defaulted to Hillary Clinton But as they learned more about Bernie Sanders, they thought oh I actually like the message that he has and one thing that I think Democratic Party voters do that Republicans don't is they try to think like two or three steps ahead So they wouldn't necessarily support Joe Biden because politically he's closer to them or ideologically Rather, he's closer to them. I think they would consider supporting him because They view him as the best bet against Donald Trump and currently when you look at head-to-head matchups He's doing better than Bernie. I think that's probably gonna change But I mean that this is one of the reasons why they supported Hillary They just thought well, you know, we can't have a socialist go up against Donald Trump or a Republican Otherwise, we will lose so they don't think oh well this person is actually better ideologically they just think well this person can beat that individual and I'm kind of Getting that sense based on just people who I know on Facebook like friends and family And it's a little bit soul-crushing because people need to just vote who's better based on policy And they're also not thinking about who can actually energize the base Which is something everyone misses in DC And apparently a lot of people, you know, just normal the normies they miss that too. So yeah, I do worry I wouldn't discount him I'm not betting on him face-planning even though I think it's highly likely but you know You can't dismiss Joe Biden. He could win
