124. But..Biden would get the vote of the young....? And, believe me

Oct 2013

I'm not into Ageism. But, realistically...can he capture the Youth Vote...and that's really even the 40 Somethings.

He should have his chance to run if he wants to, though. I just wonder if he could have health problems down the road like we had with Reagan and can he capture the Dem Party and Repug Youth vote?

Repugs have a stable of Candidates from all age groups. They can pick and choose. It might be a hard run logistically for Biden.
