(9,122 posts)He will be 75 on election day. I would vote for Joe Biden, who is only one year younger because he has so many qualities and Oval Office experience that Bernie lacks.
Bernie needs a better answer for what Democratic Socialism is than pointing to Scandinavian countries. He will have a tough time with minorities for diminishing their deep convictions. The center could drift right over attack ads on our financial system compared to theirs.

We need a younger version of Sanders. Someone with communication skills and who comes across like a people person.
Elizabeth Warren in 2020!!
Joe Biden in 2016!
