Well, my initial thoughts on Biden were wrong and right. I thought that his initial bump when he got in the race would be the high point of his campaign and he'd slowly drop off as things progressed. I was right, in that he really wasn't able to capitalize anywhere and boost his numbers significantly. Where I was wrong, was that I underestimated how much he was bringing from the Obama years, and how many people want that tie in. The fact that no other candidate was able to really separate from the pack, other than to let Sanders capture pluralities here and there, left the door open for Biden as the best name remaining.



Imo, he's really only a 2-star candidate. He's got some charisma, he's got some name value and was a VP for 8 years. Those get him the bump he's got. I think people see him as a candidate who should have run 2016 and are more than willing to give him the support he would have had then, rather than being forced to swallow the candidate they got.



This morning, trump and the R's should be stunned at the numbers that turned out yesterday. The sheer magnitude of votes cast should send a clear message that there's a fight coming.



As for Sanders, I honestly think he's got a good message, and I think his message from a different delivery boy would strongly resonate more. But he's got his own lifetime of issues. He should have dropped out after the heart attack and his populism isn't the path that America should be taking.



I wonder, just how far will the president and his senate go to attacking a political rival with the wheels of government? And is this the new pathway in American politics going forward forever?
