(25,816 posts)Personally, I think he would be a good president. But he wouldn't win.
Please don't run Joe.

(397 posts)No disrespect to Joe, but I hope we're not starting the whole "heir apparent" thing already.

(8,617 posts)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.

(38,458 posts)Biden will be getting air time to constantly go after Trump, day in and day out. It will drive Trump nuts.

(5,275 posts)He is just too old and my guess is he'll figure that out before 2020.
We need fresh, new, younger candidates.

(3,040 posts)But he is an awful presidential campaigner. We do not need a poor campaigner with name recognition in 2020...
