If things don’t turn upside down or he actually did start to show signs of age, it will be fine. Biden is a stronger candidate than Hillary (note: I didn’t say better). Any losses in the Bernie category probably didn’t vote for Hillary in 2016 anyway. Biden will be much stronger among “the poor and uneducated” that Trump loves so much. By the time she was the nominee, the anti-Hillary moderates didn’t want to vote for her. Throw in Comey and Benghazi and she was fatally wounded on Election Day. A large part of the GOP will vote for Trump no matter what, but there won’t be the pure hatred driving them to the polls that there was 4 years ago when they were faced with the prospect of the greatest villian (to the GOP) in modern political history. It sucked because she would’ve made a great president and we would’ve avoided the catastrophic Trump WH, but they won’t be able to drive up the hatred for Biden that way and the Hunter bullshit won’t carry weight the way that Benghazi pizzagate theories did.

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