      1. It increasingly feels like Biden, if he's the Democratic nominee, will be Hilary Clinton 2.0, but worse. A campaign based on personal revulsion against Trump, nostalgia for normal politics, & outreach to moderate Republicans.https://twitter.com/nytimes/status/1124667509242777600 …

      Joe Biden says the Trump presidency is an aberration, and that he doesn't represent the Republican Party. Some Democrats think that is naive. https://nyti.ms/2H0fZd1

      2. Biden is Hilary Clinton but worse. Clinton generated real enthusiasm as a pioneering woman. Also Clinton made some efforts, admittedly awkward (hot sauce!) to reach the young. Biden's message is people under 40 need to fuck off & die. https://twitter.com/IbrahimAS97/status/1124116716169113601 …

      I share real trepidation abt Biden's candidacy for just the reasons you say. But isn't this a bit of an overstatement re people under 40? Most polls focus on under 50 as opposed to under 40. But at least current polls show him way out ahead of all others in that group.

      In the current field, sure. I'm not sure if this will hold for the general. A lot will depend on VP choice. If he can find someone who can enthuse skeptics -- maybe Abrams?

          I bet Abrams could save Biden's bacon in the general. She's that good. He's a bit of a space cadet. She is sharp, and appeals to the base, but also won't be scary to semi sexist/racists because she'd "only" be the VP. Also if Biden's health fails she's young and healthy.

          So at this critical moment there will be ppl thinking that their enthusiasm is a viable factor in determining their voting behavior? I mean, actually willing to risk a Trump win?! Really?!

          The best VP choices are those that don't detract or highlight deficiencies at the top of the ticket. It is why Kaine and Pence we smart choices and Palin was not. It's also, incidentally, why Biden was selected.

          Kaine was a horrible choice. He brought nothing to the table, solidified no coalition and was a horrible debater

          Millions of Americans will die inside if Abrams has to play second-fiddle to a decrepit numpty like Biden.

          By the time he makes his VP choice the primary will be over. Have you been paying attention for the last 20 years?
