But you put up say Biden, and he'll say something dumb about women or something, and he'll lose 1/2 the Democratic base. It's not that they'll vote for Trump, it's that they won't show up because they're too busy stamping their feet.
Never before Obama did anyone ever say so many right things so intelligently, and with so much charisma. I mean, when he got elected, he could literally have asked Americans to fall on the sword for him, and millions would have. And now. . . nothing but zombies and lizards-- not a charismatic bone among them.
*Sigh.*...Must you make everything about "stinkin' SJWs and their damn identity politics"?
Oh, who am I kidding? Of course, you must.
Biden's best chance at winning was in 2016 when he still had momentum. That has since been lost and Joe will pushing 78 years of age come election time.
That's the real thorn in his side.
Not talking about SJWs, I'm talking about the democratic base. They need a squeaky-clean, charming, intelligent candidate, or they won't get enough turnout to carry the election.
The Republicans just need a guy who seems to want to make life hard for the democrats, and they'll get the votes they need.
