With all the candidates available, I am really against a Biden ticket. He's not Obama guys...You can't just plop him in there for a taste of the glory days. I really hate this idea of him being forced on voters to save the dem vote.
If it's true that Biden is a unifying candidate due to his wide-spread support from African-American Dems, as well as from Independents and even never-Trump Republicans, then I will go with the tide. This is not an election I want to be a squeaker. I want Trump soundly trounced as not just a retreat from the cliff-edge of insanity, but also as a statement to the people who took us there.
But it's over a year until the election, and I think it's premature to crown Biden. He has a lot of name-recognition, and a residual aura of nostalgia from his tenure in the Obama administration. Strong start, unquestionably, but one that can easily dissolve over the course of a long campaign. He's tried this run twice before and never made much headway. He can be prone to gaffes, which in a just and fair world would be so much nothing compared to Trump's pratfalls and scandals, but this is not a fair world. Teflon Don still gets a free pass but other candidates do not. That's just the way it is.
So right now I resent the Biden supporters who are trying to declare this a fait accompli. Just as I resented when Clinton was crowned early on (and allowed to run virtually unopposed). Let's see how everyone does after a few round of debates. Let's see who falls flat, who flubs, who catches fire as we get a LOT closer to the finish line. It may still be Biden. Maybe. I'm willing to wait and see.
