Warren's age is OK but Biden or Bernie (as much as I love him) are too old. They had their shots and however corrupt the process last time out, should probably pass the baton to a younger generation. That said, age shouldn't be the decisive factor--their policy ideas and ideology should be. Beto at this point is a bit of a cipher. I love how he inspired the grassroots, but what does he stand for? I don't want more pretty speeches and vague promises about how you plan to govern, only to see you fill your administration with Wall Street bankers. I want someone like FDR:

We had to struggle with the old enemies of peace--business and financial monopoly, speculation, reckless banking, class antagonism, sectionalism, war profiteering. They had begun to consider the Government of the United States as a mere appendage to their own affairs. We know now that Government by organized money is just as dangerous as Government by organized mob. Never before in all our history have these forces been so united against one candidate as they stand today. They are unanimous in their hate for me--and I welcome their hatred.

This is from a speech in 1936. It's the same war.

Democrats can't wield a winnable candidate.

Can any Democrats evoke the same passion in Americans that Trump does?

Trump 2020 is sealed.

Couldnt agree more. Trump 2020, even if it's from a cell!!!!

He can't run very fast, but he can walk. And I think he can walk faster than Bernie and Hillary. He should run with Bill Clinton as VP. Bill may have a wandering eye, but he is the smartest person in the Democratic party.

Democrats can't wield a winnable candidate.

Even Hillary Clinton got more votes than him in 2016 and she wasn't all that inspiring really.

Can any Democrats evoke the same passion in Americans that Trump does?

What, fanatical stupidity in a large, bigoted, narrow-minded minority of the population and loathing and contempt in everyone else? It's funny how Trump supporters like to peddle the fantasy that he's swept up the whole population in a wave of cult-like adoration when all he's actually got is an unconvincing Electoral College victory, a few rallies in deep red states filled with whooping rednecks and lots of ranting online trolls.

No kidding! When Trunp's bone slurs aren't acting up, he can outrun all of them! MAGMA/KAGEL 2020!

The story is about Biden and his chances in 2020. Can he make it through the Democratic primaries? I doubt the Democratic party can survive without some brains. Only Bill Clinton has those. Biden will make a great puppet leader. As long as Bill is controlling him he will do better than other candidates.

But the Dems couldn't hope to field anyone near as intelligent as our Dear Leader, Trump! Trump's a stable genius!

But she didnt win the EC.

Because the Dems have chosen sucky candidates as a bad the GOP had sucky Republicans 2 years Ago.

Sorry, that’s all that matters back then, now and into the future. Liberals never complained about it until this President won....strange and now they want it abolished. Had that woman won, no one would have ever brought it up.

a few rallies in deep red states filled with whooping rednecks and lots of ranting online trolls.

By the way, kind of pathetic that Democrats have to recycle and to come up with the oldest and whitest of their flock.

Biden/Clinton 2020!

"Bill may have a wandering eye, but he is the smartest person in the Democratic party."

If that be the case, the Democratic Party is doomed!
