(5,106 posts)The Repugnicans never had to gin up all they would have used against Bernie had he been the 2016 candidate. It probably would have been uglier than what was used against Hillary. I realize Biden is only about a year younger than Bernie, but he's obviously in much better physical shape. His being a little more laid back surely has always made him the most underrated contender in politics. The man has dealt with some real tragedies in his personal life and remained centered personally and politically. The V.P. debate in which he took the (now realized) much overrated Ryan to the cleaners was beautiful. Biden is not necessarily the answer, but he's truly a more desirable candidate than Bernie, who tends to project the "angry old man" these days. And we need to give the newcomers some more thought and time.
