So is his failure due to him, or to his campaign strategy, I wonder. Being so late to the party couldn't have advantaged him in any way, could it have?Quote:

What Biden is doing is unfortunately not related to stuttering. I think he’s getting dementia and he never used to do this. Sure hope his VP is younger and smart. Warren should drop out as her votes would go to Bernie who is much sharper. I am not worried about Bernie radically changing
things as they wouldn’t get passed.
I can't believe that this country can't do better than Biden and Trump. I would think you could just pick two random people in the grocery store or somewhere and do better than that.
It's feeling a lot like 2016.
It also feels like there is a HUGE generation gap and the Millennials will be so happy to see the Boomers die off. If we left the choice to the Millennials, I guarantee it wouldn't be a Biden-Trump race. Maybe there should be some weighting system to make their votes count by a factor of 1.5 or something, since they're going to be stuck with this world a lot longer than we willQuote:

But I've always heard that the millennials love Bernie, and he isn't exactly a youngster.
That's true. He definitely has the young vote. I read an interesting analysis by Van Jones: "Super Tuesday leaves us with a lover and a fighter -- we need both" talking about how Joe appeals to the older moderates' need for restoration, not revolution, and Bernie appeals to the younger people who feel that no one listens to them and are more eager for change. The candidate who can acknowledge and make both groups comfortable will winQuote:
