The media, progressive intersectionalists, Bernie Bros, and MAGAts told me:
Biden is terribly out of touch with the modern democratic party.
Biden has no base.
Biden cant appeal to anyone but white men.
Biden is too old.
Biden wont be able to raise money.
Biden is a two time loser and doesnt know how to run a campaign.
Biden has way too much baggage to overcome.
Biden is only name recognition.
Biden badly flubbed the inappropriate touching and Anita Hill issue.
Biden fondles children.
Biden is a gaffe machine.
