be the nominee when he is criticized as not belonging in the Democratic party and AOC's theatrical 'groan' at the thought of Biden's presidency didn't help either...I would think she would be pleased that Trump would have lost the election...well those who attack Biden have paid a political price...I don't doubt she will too. Her ill advised words hurt her chances too as I am not that old (more like me than her) and should be around when she tries to run for president...and I would never vote for her in a primary...only a general. Of course she will never win a presidential nomination IMHO in any case. She can stay in her safe blue district unless and/or until someone beats her in a primary. As she proved by beating the incumbent last time...incumbency doesn't guarantee a win for anyone in a primary...not even AOC.

Taking words out of contest doesn't make your point true. Sander will not be the nominee although he has my vote should it somehow happen.But Trump gets four more years in my opinion.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

Because she does not know True Blue American Jan 2020 #92

None of that explains why you denigrated bartenders. nt. Mariana Jan 2020 #97

Well if this is true, she just got her own nose out of joint.. she is attacking Peacetrain Jan 2020 #2

Saying she has fundamental disagreements w/ Biden is not an attack. n/t Dennis Donovan Jan 2020 #3

She is suggesting he's not a real Democrat. DemocratSinceBirth Jan 2020 #5

She said they're different Democrats. n/t Dennis Donovan Jan 2020 #14

Which isn't all she said. TwilightZone Jan 2020 #8

There's some willful blindness in this thread. DemocratSinceBirth Jan 2020 #13

"She's the pure one" Wawannabe Jan 2020 #90

++++, she should show some real knowledge, like what Gore R B Garr Jan 2020 #105

It was his party GemDigger Jan 2020 #19

Whose party will it be in 10 years or 20 or 30? LonePirate Jan 2020 #43

If the party goes that far left it will destroy itself. Dems are more moderate than one thinks Thekaspervote Jan 2020 #57

Thank you. Some here must be thrown off by those 'arabic numbers' empedocles Jan 2020 #110

She seems to want instant gratification. GemDigger Jan 2020 #61

It won't be her party...I doubt she is still serving. Demsrule86 Jan 2020 #67

I'm confident we will still be a liberal party in 20 or 30 years. The Valley Below Jan 2020 #93

Read this article from Politico: George II Jan 2020 #23

I agree with AOC. True Blue American Jan 2020 #96

I never supported her in the first place. nt Kahuna7 Jan 2020 #4

I did at the very beginning..but her actions quickly changed my mind Thekaspervote Jan 2020 #59

Saying you don't share the same views as another politician is an attack? Autumn Jan 2020 #6

Please see post five. DemocratSinceBirth Jan 2020 #7

She's talking about the Congressional Progressive Caucus. But she's right. If we had more parties Autumn Jan 2020 #27

Why? SergeStorms Jan 2020 #113

If you agree that Biden shouldn't be a Democrat, then yes, that would be an attack. TwilightZone Jan 2020 #12

Joe seems to be of a different era but I would never suggest he's not a real Democrat. DemocratSinceBirth Jan 2020 #15

She has said much more than that: George II Jan 2020 #33

She's sharp. Autumn Jan 2020 #39

She never misses a chance to attack the Democratic Party or it's members... George II Jan 2020 #50

Sorry. I just don't see pointing out where one differs from other people is an attack. Autumn Jan 2020 #56

You should read that Politico article, she said a lot against Biden, Democrats, and the CPC. George II Jan 2020 #60

If what she said hurts your feelings contact her and demand an apology. You know how to contact Autumn Jan 2020 #62

I have contacted her, as have many people in the 14th District (I no longer live in Queens). George II Jan 2020 #68

I'm not too fond of the purity argument, regardless of the source. TwilightZone Jan 2020 #20
