Joe Biden ....Good Man, Good Heart.

A lot of speculation concerning 2020 bid..

You've accomplished so much during your lifetime and have been a huge asset to our party

but its time to let go of any presidential considerations......

You saw what happened in Virginia, New jersey etc..

We are heading in a new direction..Diverse and Young..

You definitely will be an asset to our cause, helping us move forward

But please Joe ...............

I know that we need to run a man as president because the misogyny is still a major factor...and we can't afford a close race.

When the death penalty comes to be something confined to the unreformed and unrepentant South she will be in the clear, but until then she will just be attacked as soft on crime for her "stewardship" of the death penalty in California.

Elizabeth Warren and her lady parts could have won in 2016.

there would have been a huge influx of money against her specifically

So no, she and her lady parts wouldn't have won in 2016.

It took a very unique combination of traits to lose to Donald Trump, in an unfortunate set of circumstances Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton shared most of them.

If that is a white guy named Chet Van Buren who has camouflage outfits for every season, so be it.

Biden or Elizabeth Warren could have defeated Trump as third-termers with Obama behind them, I'm not sure either could do it without Obama.

with a young, diverse running mate. Maybe even pledge to just serve one term, give the VP time to build up their own resume and run in 2024.
