    The more incoming fire Joe Biden takes, the more he's gluing his candidacy to the Obama legacy.

    The former vice president has from the start built his campaign brand around the work of the administration he helped lead. But it's a theme he's hitting even harder, as his Democratic presidential primary rivals call him out for his past stances on civil rights issues and his less-than-tactful comments in recent days on race and other sensitive matters.

    It will be interesting to see some new polling. Sleepy Joe appears to be headed down hill fast.

    Using Obama as a crutch is a losing strategy. Obama wasn't great and Biden didn't do squat as VP.

    Biden should quit and take up peanut farming in Jimmy's place.

    It's going to be rough. Time to call in Howard Schultz to save the day for democrats?

    Meanwhile Trump is on a roll!

    The funny part is he makes himself look like an idiot that couldn't do anything but watch Obama work. Then when you compare it to Obama's record, he looks like a former VP that sat around, clueless, watching Obama take America down in flames.

    The more he speaks, the more damage he does to himself.

    He should understand why Obama made him VP in the first place.

    Biden is a fool, and using "Obama" and "legacy" in the same sentence makes me snort laughter ---- unless Obama's race-baiting and cop-hating is the stuff of legends.

    The only ones with any love for Obama are blacks and diehard leftists, and there aren't enough of them to win an election.

    Not that I want Biden to win anyhow (although he's among the best of the lot in that crowd), so on second thought, keep on with this strategy Uncle Joe, I'm sure it's a winner! :p

    Oh well.

    I guess the voters will decide?

    If people care he will lose, if they don't he will Win.

    The only people really pushing these "narratives" are RWers that have it in for Biden.

    We shall see what we shall see. A lot of time to go.

    PS--Compliments on using Faux "News" for a "Source".
    (I would rather see Faux than Ludicrous RW Comedy Propaganda outlets like Breitbart, etc.)

    Obama/Biden presided over a stagnant malaise economy that grew a mean 1.8% over all 8 years. Yea, we need more of that.

    Democrats have made a huge push to register voters. Harris attacks Biden to capture black vote in SC (and anywhere else she can). They have promised all kinds of free stuff. Oddly, the minorities just don't seem to show up on voting day. I guess it must be too much work for them.

    So, for now, Biden stays about where he was and Harris didn't pick up much of her intended minority target. Got to love identity politics. It works great for republicans.

    I hope Biden wins the nomination because Trump will destroy him. America didn't want Obama's 3rd term with Clinton and they certainly won't want it with Uncle Joe. But I doubt he'll get the nomination because the left wing media propaganda machine probably knows Uncle Joe won't win so they'll destroy him and give their attention to the person they choose, probably Harris.

    Probably so but Harris is a liability for them too. The next debates should be even more comical than the last. They are supposed to better explain how they intend to fund utopia for all.
