tl:dr: The appeal of Sanders was overstated by both an active internet user base, and media personalities/pundits who regularly overestimate the electorate's desire for ideological ambitions and communication that is clear and concise. Most of America doesn't actually give a shit about that.

    Or how about this: People simply want better, more affordable health insurance, not government-run everything. What leads people toward Bernie in the first place - HealthCare - is far outweighed by the negatives of Socialism that will eventually drive them away.

    That's addressed in the studies Klein cites. There really isn't an appetite for "completely reinventing" the American economy, as much as the Bernie Bros might insist there is.

    America gives a shit about an old man who is hurtling toward either dementia or Alzheimer’s.

    Trump is a loose cannon but he can tell the difference between his hot wife and his hot daughter. Biden is lucky to make it through a speech without slurring his words every other sentence.

    Really sad the DNC can’t or won’t see this. It’s like when one’s parent reaches that age where the child needs to take away the keys to the car - but they know doing so will become a massive burden on their life.

    By November Biden will make Bloomberg look like Oliver Wendall Holmes on the debate stage. Not gonna be pretty.

    How can this be? Don't you remember all of that polling the El Monte Bros were always posting here that showed everyone loving Medicare for All?

    I suppose that's one cherry-picked way to look at it.

    Or if you read the article (insert gif of Indian man) you might realize that most Americans don't give a shit about the incoherence of either Biden or Trump. It's the same kind of folksy charm that got W his two terms, just wrapped in different packages.

    Biden's feeble-mindedness is the elephant in the room for most of the media. A few are mentioning it, but the disconnect between the media and the public is real and the American people can see Biden's decline, plain as day. It won't matter in blue states, but he'd deader than a frozen whore in a snowbank in red states.

    I guess I consume magnitudes more media than you then. Because the narrative of Biden's babbling nonsense and inability to finish sentences is one of the hottest talking points of the dem primary race.

    Pay attention to their conclusions, after all the babble. Are they saying what we all know? I.e., that he needs to step down and go into senior care? No, they aren't. Because, ultimately, the media wants to beat Trump so badly they'll support a mindless, drooling zombie if they think it has any prayer of beating Trump.

    Dementia and Alzheimers doesn't cherry pick. It's a horrific end of life.

    Apparently you haven't lived through it or are able to see the signs of aging. Biden is riding off into the sunset mentally. It's actually kind of cruel what the @dnc is doing to him.

    The fact the media ignores it doesn't mean Average Joe can't see it. The debates are going to horrific. And as the general grows nearer, the video clips, twitter posts and social media chatter is going to reach a crescendo. It's going to be ugly.

    The only conclusion I can come to is Biden gets the nomination, he names Hillary as his running mate, then bails out of the race come late September/October when there is no choice but to elevate the cankled one to the top spot. Nothing else makes sense.

    Biden was promised this position if he didn't challenge Hillary in 2016.

    She will be his VP and she will be the Presidential Candidate in October.

    If Ol' Joe wasn't showing the mental collapse he is I would probably consider voting for him.

    He is from the old school Senate ... work to get shit done ... too bad he can't remember shit.

    I'd consider it and then remember the Bidens were bought and remains bought by the Chinese.
