    It is my belief that Joe Biden also very much wanted to run in this past Democratic Primary, but that he was also discouraged from running.https://twitter.com/ShaunKing/status/867416785183756288 …

    Why the next Democratic primary for President can't be like the last one. It must have 8-10 all-star candidates. http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/king-dem-primary-robust-cast-candidates-article-1.3192415 …

        I think more so, he was still grieving from his son's death-and as a widow, I know that grief can take all your energy for a long time.

        The small field made it easier for Bernie. Had that wing all to himself and she cleaned his clock. Made promises he knew he couldn't keep.

        Discouraged or was the passing of his son really a hard thing to overcome for a robust campaign?

        He didn't run because he knew he couldn't beat her. Had nothing to do with the DNC whatever that is

        He would have run away with it.

        last time he ran, he couldn't even win his own state, he'd lose bigly. Thats the real reason he didn't run

        True. And maybe that would have been the case this time. I cant help think, though, that that was a different time/place. Much has changed.

        This is how the @DNC works, though. The higher-ups pick who runs and get the peons fired up (the ones they ignore in between elections).

        Definitely would've been different if Biden, or Warren, had run. Think it would've been messier if Warren had. Not sure what if Biden had

        I also think he was pretty depressed because his son just died.

        Agreed! Biden shoulda been the nominee! But we needed this! Now we should ALL be able to see racism is alive and well in our country! 💯

        We have an entire party & a POTUS who substitute beliefs for evidence & conspiracy theories for facts. Let's not imitate them, ok?
