Hope, Biden, and his arch-supporters, mainly in Washington, successfully shut down the nomination process by not having an open primary.

No candidate with a reputation to lose would challenge Biden. Hence, we have an anti-laxer, a spiritual healer, and a novice Philips. Biden knew he could hog the road.

I repeat the question: how can Biden win the presidency when 75% of his own party doesn't want him? His numbers have deteriorated since that CNN poll.

Your admiration for Joe is commendable but Democrats would be better served with a younger and more talented leader.

Always best.
