You're right. For these reasons, I would be very surprised if the Democratic Presidential candidate in 2020 is a white male. Would be hard to play the racist/misogynist card in that case, which is all the left has.

It could be Warren or Booker. I'm not concerned about Warren as she's just very annoying and unlikeable (in addition to being a crazy leftist on policy). Booker does concern me a bit. It's not that he's good on policy but he is polished, well-spoken, and mild-manner. I can see people being drawn to him based on how he carries himself, even though his policies are just as bad as those of any other leftist.

Seriously, do you live under a rock. His son died at age 46 due to brain cancer. Beau's kids were 9 and 11. Biden was grieving and wanted to be there for his family. That is why he didn't run.

This was a factor but Beau Biden died in May, 2015. Joe Biden could still have run (and he just turned 74, not 80 as someone said).

I think the main reason is he did not want to go up against the crowned candidate Hillary Clinton. He saw it would have been a long tough fight.

OK, I thought he was 78.

Understanding today's Democratic Party

1. Multiculturalism - Cultural enrichment through national suicide.
2. Progressiveness - Progress through perversity.
3. Tolerance - Welcoming your adversaries with open arms and unlimited welfare.
4. Political correctness - Fools trying to convince each other of their moral superiority through the absurd misuse of our language.(Racism, phobias, haters, ad nausea).
5. Liberalism - The philosophy of self-loathing, grasping, sniveling brats and their career victims.
6. Far right - Any position toward the political center from Marx-Engels.

I think it was both. One does not get over the death of a child, even an adult child, in a couple of months.
