I think Biden could have won

44. I started this not so much about speculation as to who could have won but

About the kind of person we need to run next time.

I love Bernie,he think he said the right things and voted for him in the primary. However he more or less repeats his speech and issues at every interview. I do think that repetition is a good thing and being unable to be knocked off message is a positive, but I think Biden is a bit more conversational than Bernie.

I voted for Hillary, but I think she was not able to convey her message. Also when I saw the last debate, and she had this angry face and spent the most of the time attacking Trump with sort of an angry look on her face, down in the mud slinging it I really started to first entertain the idea she could lose. While I read her website and totally agreed with most of her positions, I don't think speaking wise she conveyed any clear overriding message other than minorities should vote for her because Trump was scarey. (True) and that she wanted to be the first woman president.

Biden on the other hand in that interview had a smile on his face, was congenial but he pretty much insulted Trump in a way that was WAY more effective than anything Clinton did.

So I think that whoever we choose next time, and I'd prefer it to be someone much younger than Clinton, Biden, or Bernie, I think we need to choose somebody who is capable of delivering attacks and the message in a better way.

Far as the DNC, I was watching an interview with Ellison, and maybe it was just a one off or something, but while I agreed with him on what he was saying, he was stopping and starting and I didn't feel he was entirely conveying his message. However every time I have seen Tom Perez I have felt that he was a good speaker and delivered his message well. I like Ellison's politics better but as the public face of the party, like on tv and stuff I prefer Perez.

Know what I'm saying??
