In reply to the discussion: PolitiFact nails Sanders campaign's claim that Biden backed Paul Ryan on SS cuts as FALSE [View all]SaschaHM
(2,897 posts)25. It's his last run.
He's not going to be the Democratic (when he's running for Prez - only) version of Ron Paul and even if her were, Paul's influence diminished after each run. 2024 is probably out of the question if a Dem wins the White house. 2028 would make him 90 after the end of his first term.
Ultimately, the people that believe in him will have to find a new steward to lead their movement and I'm not sure some of his allies are going to wait their turn during a 3rd Sanders run if we don't win in 2020.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

Dems attacking other Dems, especially about social security cuts, really angers me.
