I think Biden should just cancel the debate calling it pointless [View all]

Let the Bernie side whine about it. I don't think Biden will lose a single vote by canceling.

Why give the losing side a platform? It is over.

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

BS will score points debate or not, win or lose more primaries, etc. empedocles Mar 2020 #1

All his points have been heard since 2016 .. nothing new NYMinute Mar 2020 #3

But that would all but gaurantee Bernie would stay in to disrupt and hurt the nominee's chances. HarlanPepper Mar 2020 #2

I really hope Demguy81 Mar 2020 #4

More practice and exposure for Biden,.. magicarpet Mar 2020 #5

No. It is an evil plot by Bernie and his supporters NYMinute Mar 2020 #23

Further debates won't change Biden's trajectory. BlueIdaho Mar 2020 #6

Maybe we should just call up all those who ran to join the debate pandr32 Mar 2020 #7

Great idea, could be like an SNL cold open bigbrother05 Mar 2020 #8

Great visual pandr32 Mar 2020 #10

Love it. nt Codeine Mar 2020 #35

And tell all those Democrats in states that have not voted yet to just stay home. The decision pampango Mar 2020 #9

Yep. Tell 'em to stay home, because their votes do not matter at this point. stopbush Mar 2020 #13

4 months before the convention? We can't let this go on a day or a week longer. pampango Mar 2020 #14

Sanders has been DESTROYED in the primaries since NV. stopbush Mar 2020 #16

He has LOST in MOST (not all) primaries. He is LOSING. pampango Mar 2020 #19

It will be an absolute joy. HarlanPepper Mar 2020 #26

Wouldn't want to deprive you of that. :) pampango Mar 2020 #28

Because it is time to move on taking down Trump SlogginThroughIt Mar 2020 #32

Ok, let's go with your plan. Blue_true Mar 2020 #37

That was a very tight race. Codeine Mar 2020 #36

They don't have to stay home -- they can vote and pummel Bernie just for kicks and giggles. NYMinute Mar 2020 #24

I believe it is going to turn into that. People are going to be pissed with Blue_true Mar 2020 #38

Yeah...Americans love to vote...please don't make me miss what I was going to miss anyway. Scurrilous Mar 2020 #30

Good point. Americans don't exactly profile as the most prolific voters in the world. pampango Mar 2020 #31

LOL, ok! nt USALiberal Mar 2020 #11

Good idea! If the DNC cancels, then the Sanders side will cry foul, but unitedwethrive Mar 2020 #12
