So listing Kerry actually helps your argument. Without him, they are 3-0 when picking a primary opponent. So Biden would be in great company.

If I were to vote in a presidential

Gore was a former Presidential candidate though. He ran first in 1988. It was big news TeamPooka Mar 2020 #16
Yes he didn't run against Clinton Dem4Life1102 Mar 2020 #19
He needs a running mate who can help add a swing state. The electoral college is what matters. Skya Rhen Mar 2020 #17

Why not? Polybius Mar 2020 #35
Losers aren't as relevant Dem4Life1102 Mar 2020 #39
You have to mention them because your OP doesn't make exception Polybius Mar 2020 #43
Losers aren't relevant Dem4Life1102 Mar 2020 #47
It's your OP so that's your call, but it still means your subject line is in error. thesquanderer Mar 2020 #50

yup, a dumb op by someone who can't stand to be proven wrong wyldwolf Mar 2020 #188
Where have I been proven wrong? Dem4Life1102 Mar 2020 #199
through out the thread, which is why you've moved goal posts like these: wyldwolf Mar 2020 #202
Never moved any goal posts Dem4Life1102 Mar 2020 #247
Sure you did. Like "losing tickets don't count." wyldwolf Mar 2020 #250
And I still don't think they do Dem4Life1102 Mar 2020 #284
That's hysterical! wyldwolf Mar 2020 #285
And most nominees don't Dem4Life1102 Mar 2020 #287
But many do, including those who lose the GE. wyldwolf Mar 2020 #306
Yes many do Dem4Life1102 Mar 2020 #328
And 25% is no where near being an exception to the rule as you've contended. wyldwolf Mar 2020 #330
Still only 25% Dem4Life1102 Mar 2020 #333
and still nowhere near being an exception to the rule as you've contended. wyldwolf Mar 2020 #334
But it is still most Dem4Life1102 Mar 2020 #338
but certainly not an exception to the rule as you've contended. wyldwolf Mar 2020 #340
Still 3 times as more Dem4Life1102 Mar 2020 #345
but not an exception to the rule as you contended. wyldwolf Mar 2020 #347
But still most 3 times as more. Dem4Life1102 Mar 2020 #351
but certainly not an exception to the rule as you've contended. wyldwolf Mar 2020 #353
No that was based on responding to your post Dem4Life1102 Mar 2020 #364
I went back to the late 1700s wyldwolf Mar 2020 #367
What primaries were held in the late 1700s? Dem4Life1102 Mar 2020 #388
Here Polybius Mar 2020 #277
I wasn't counting losing tickets Dem4Life1102 Mar 2020 #286
You moved a goal post wyldwolf Mar 2020 #308
Not at all Dem4Life1102 Mar 2020 #311
A complete goal post move wyldwolf Mar 2020 #314
Well before it was 30% Dem4Life1102 Mar 2020 #318
Why 1912? You originally said "going back 70 years." Goal post move. wyldwolf Mar 2020 #320
Last 10 elections Dem4Life1102 Mar 2020 #326
Why last 10 elections? Why not every election - including losing tickets? wyldwolf Mar 2020 #327
10 seemed like a nice round number Dem4Life1102 Mar 2020 #335
So is 12. So is 20. But 10 seemed like a number that would bolster your point best. wyldwolf Mar 2020 #337
I don't care how many you want to look at Dem4Life1102 Mar 2020 #349
because you know the more elections looked at, the weaker your point gets. wyldwolf Mar 2020 #350
Not a point Dem4Life1102 Mar 2020 #355
It was your point wyldwolf Mar 2020 #356
Really? Dem4Life1102 Mar 2020 #359
Yes, really. wyldwolf Mar 2020 #360
So what time frame do you want to set? Dem4Life1102 Mar 2020 #365
How about the very first election? wyldwolf Mar 2020 #370
OK Dem4Life1102 Mar 2020 #374
Already posted the first two wyldwolf Mar 2020 #376
Then post the rest Dem4Life1102 Mar 2020 #380
It's your point to prove. You're op. wyldwolf Mar 2020 #382
I've proved it here: Dem4Life1102 Mar 2020 #385
That wasn't proof. And you've been proved wrong. wyldwolf Mar 2020 #389
How wasn't it proof? Dem4Life1102 Mar 2020 #392
We must have missed that in your op. wyldwolf Mar 2020 #394
Please show me where what I posted was in error? Dem4Life1102 Mar 2020 #395
Please show us that in your op. wyldwolf Mar 2020 #398
Well you are free to show where my OP is factually incorrect Dem4Life1102 Mar 2020 #400
I am comfortable with whoever Joe selects Gothmog Mar 2020 #292
Kennedy picked LBJ, Reagan picked George H.W. Bush hlthe2b Mar 2020 #368
Very true Dem4Life1102 Mar 2020 #372
