In reply to the discussion: Joe Biden, Beto O'rourke Reportedly Met to Discuss Potential 2020 Presidential Ticket [View all]BlueStater
(7,596 posts)24. This isn't the ticket. It's a hypothetical.
Biden will not win the nomination. In fact, I hope he comes to his senses and doesn't even run.
I find the idea of an 80-year-old man being treated as a serious presidential candidate absolutely absurd. His generation had their time in spotlight. It's time to pass the damn torch already.
