Who should the democrats pick to run against Trump

[viper37]

Anyhow I voted Biden; the Biden-Trump debates will become the stuff of legend.  Not "Legend" in the sense of Kennedy-Nixon or Lincoln-Douglas; but instead like the aged Beowulf and the dragon.  In the upcoming dark ages bards will sing songs of the contest in their liege's mead hall.

Unless Schultz does run, in which case Bloomberg is the best possible choice.

There's no way this stuff isn't going to tank him in a democratic primary.

gee, Republicans playing the moral card when they refused investigation into Kavanaugh's behavior?  No surprise there.

I think all the pervs are voting for the guy who likes to grab women by the pussy.  Also, the people old enough to remember when men could be touchy are senile enough to vote Trump as well.  Biden won't get any votes for being touchy, but he's also too old to run for office. 

Plus, while Biden isn't Trumpishly dishonest, he's got a few whoppers in his past.

The whole plagerism thing from the late '80s that sunk his first run for president comes to mind.

I think the whole touchy-feely thing is really overblown, and I'm not much of a toucher. Yeah, it's awkward, and yeah, it's really not appropriate. But in the sweet grandfatherly way rather than the grab-em-by-the-pussy way. YMMV

Better yet, this is a rehash of a commercial that Clinton ran against Trump in 2016.

I agree, though I think it may be a generational thing.

Heck, I'm old enough to remember when men were sometimes criticized for being distant and not being touchy-feelie.  Now, pat someone on the back to congratulate them for a job well done and you risk being accused of sexual harassment, even though any reasonable person would recognize that it's in no way a sexual gesture.

Every postwar non-incumbency election that Demorats won happened when they ran a fresh young face: Jack Kennedy, Carter, Clinton, Obama.  FDR arguably fits that as well as a 50 year old one-term governor, which makes it 100 years.  It's not enough to be non-Trump.  There has to be reason to vote *for* the candidate.  It's not clear to me what Joe Biden's case is to vote for him other than that he is a safe pair of hands that has some voter appeal in the old Midwest.

Depends on who shows up to vote in the primaries. If a lot of "normies" show up to vote for him then it might not really become an issue. 

Normies?

As long as Bernie isn't the nominee I'll be reasonably happy. I don't really like him and I'm fairly certain he's the most likely to lose to Donald.

Does Legbiter think Languish is some kind of cult so we need disparaging terms for those on the outside?

If you say so; but the question on the table isn't "Who will the Democrats pick to run against Trump"  it's "Who should the democrats pick to run against Trump".  Based on the criterion I listed I feel that Biden is the clear choice.

Roosevelt was Cox's running mate; calling him a "Fresh young face" in 1932, would be the equivalent of calling Sarah Palin a "Fresh young face" today.

It's Alt-Right lingo.
