In reply to the discussion: Joe Biden, Beto O'rourke Reportedly Met to Discuss Potential 2020 Presidential Ticket [View all]friend of m and j
(220 posts)26. If it weren't for Trump being in the WH I might agree with you, But
Biden's experience in governing and strong moral character and integrity can do more to unite the country from the the divisiveness that Trump has caused. Biden can restore the values and institutions that our country was built on. The new faces that are planning to run lack that experience. He can restore the broken ties with our allies that Trump has alienated. He can make America proud again and not be best friends with autocratic dictators that Trump so loves. And he will be a mentor to those new faces that will likely be in the primaries. That will make for a much stronger Democratic party in the future.
P.S Biden will be 78 years old in 2019. I am 76 years old. Not all of us are senile or have dementia.

1960 was the reverse age and experience wise. But LBJ was only 52 in 1960. Hardly a senior citizen.

You have a point, though it doesn't really fit your analogy. Nevertheless, a point.
