Biden 2020?

Joe Biden Clarifies He's No Bernie Sanders: "I Don't Think 500 Billionaires Are Reason We're in Trouble"

With 'invisible primary' for potential 2020 Democratic candidates reportedly underway, former vice president stakes a familiar position on how to address the scourge of inequality

At Brookings, CNN reports,

Biden proposed a number of solutions that have been floated by the Democratic party's most progressive members, like offering free college to everyone and banning tactics used by employers to keep workers from being paid higher wages.

But he stopped short of pitching some of the more sweeping proposals emanating from the party's left flank. Instead, he offered up more mainstream ideas, like providing more federal funding for infrastructure projects and making the tax code less friendly to investors while expanding tax credits for low-income families.

In his remarks on Tuesday, Biden said, "I get in trouble in my party when I say, 'Wealthy Americans are just as patriotic as poor folks.' I found no distinction."

Is this the Establishment Dem identifying the "Center" by sending out Old Handsome Joe to sell the parties line?

I thik it might be good to establish the principle that the Veterans of the last war get to run the country, so:
Gabbard-Duckworth 2020!

Hillary is your man in 2020.

I could, with a settled stomach, vote for Biden in 2020. That was more than I could say about the two major candidates in 2016. I would say the same about Gabbard and Duckworth, but I would first need to do some research of either of them.

I'm old. I feel myself aging. I don't want a POTUS older than I. We old farters are stuck in our ways. (Or un-stuck, in Tromp's case.) US should have an upper cutoff age for Prez and Veep candidates. Minimum is 35; maximum should be 65. Sorry, Joe.

I don't think Biden will run. He had to be coaxed into it the last election.

Intelligent and respected by his peers and colleagues all around; bur look at his bio and personal and sad, trajic, personal problems of the past.

I think of him as something of a clown, but he doesn't evoke hostility the way Trump and Hilly did in 2016.

He missed his chance. Now, it's too late.He devoted his entire life to politics. he has sacrificed everything for politics willingly. I understand he was going through some personal things at the time of the 2016 election. But he is a patriot. Many patriots go through difficult things, yet still have to rise to the occasion. Joe Biden's destiny presented itself in 2016, and he said, "No". I'm angry at him for that. His decision changed history. Maybe it wasn't entirely his decision considering how corrupt the Democratic National Committee is. But anyways, No to biden. He failed us when we needed him and now he is way too old. Sad.

Biden's chance was 2016 and he should have taken it, Instead he deferred to the narrative that Hillary had been anointed years ago and he didn't want to rock the boat.

The Democrats are still blaming their loss on everything but the candidate.

Biden would have one and I think easily.

I think Sanders would have won.

They went with the worst and got the worst result.

Although I don't think Bernie would have won, I agree that Biden absolutely would have won. I would have voted for him for the mere fact to keep Trump out and not because I support Biden's positions.
