Then again, all the Democrats really care about is getting that debate stage photo opp so they can show all of the idiots out there how diverse they pretend to be.

I wonder of Cory Booker will pass as a gay black man to really push their diversity over the top.

Bernie got screwed by the Democratic party and Hillary last time around and people know it, so they may back him in masses as a way to get him retribution. Biden is the most moderate Democrat in the field (with real name recognition) and he is very respected by politicians on both sides of the aisle. Personally, I don't care if candidates are black, white, red, brown, yellow or plaid. The same with age. The most popular politician with the most appealing ideas is gonna win the nomination. Bernie's ideas are more progressive and are gonna appeal to younger Democrats, while Biden's moderate views are gonna appeal to middle aged and older Democrats. I doubt anyone else in the field has a chance.

Bernie did get screwed, and he will get screwed again, because most people know running a socialist in a general election is political suicide (at least for the time being). Bernie is a hypocrite. Do as I say, not as I do...

As far as the most popular politician with the most appealing ideas.... what ideas would those be? Who hates Trump the most, or who loves the green new deal the most? "You just pay for it" isn't going to fly in a general election. The democrats are hosed. In fact, I wouldn't be shocked to see another political party born out of the result of this election.

Finally, I don't think Bernie is even serious about becoming president. He will continue to throw his name in the ring as long as he is physically able to keep his name relevant and continue to add additional houses to his real-estate portfolio.

So is Trump and he became President.

Comparing a guy who has been a politician nearly half a century to a man who turned a million dollar loan into a multi-billion dollar global empire doesn't really seem apples to apples, but whatever floats your boat!
