Running in the primary that I wouldn't greatly prefer. I say that as a big Biden supporter.

Personally, I think he would be a good president. But he wouldn't win.
Please don't run Joe.

How would a Kamala Harris/Al Franken ticket perform in 2020?
Could Franken help Harris with white working class voters?
Unlike Brown-OH, Franken-MN represents a state with a Democratic Governor.

Not to sound like an ageist, isn't Joe like almost 75 now?
I really like Joe Biden but we need fresh legs.

And would be thrilled to vote for him and his aviator glasses! But yeah, if we are gonna be putting together dream teams, let's hook him up with some rising stars....Cory Booker, Al Franken, Adam Schiff, and Kamala Harris...and hell...let's give Oprah a call while we're at it!

Biden will be getting air time to constantly go after Trump, day in and day out. It will drive Trump nuts.

We're not going to have a president that will be 82 at the end of his first term. Give it up, Joe.

He is just too old and my guess is he'll figure that out before 2020.

We need fresh, new, younger candidates.

Having several possible early candidates (some legitimate putting out feelers, some as decoys) is actually a fine idea.

I'd rather wait until after the midterms, and let's see how this all shakes out.
