MODERATORS
He basically straight-up said that:
Yeah, but he also said in that same interaction that "at least 50" other Dems can beat him.
So its not that he thinks he's the only one that can beat trump and that's why he's running.
It's either a pride thing, or similar to Hillary he thinks trump is the easiest possible opponent and he's will to risk it so he can be president
I think you’re misunderstanding those two phrases.
“I think I can beat trump” and “50 democrats at beat me” does not mean that “50 democrats can beat trump”.
Primaries are different than general elections.
...
In what world would the "him" Joe Biden is saying 50 other Dems can beat referring to anyone besides trump?
And why are you talking about primaries?
The party won't support a primary against Bide as an incumbent. So there just flat out isn't going to even be a primary.
I think it's spite.
