A nominee who tries to be all things to all constituencies never appears genuine, because they never are. I rather we try to keep the left on board than make overtures to the right.___________________________________________

Well that sure flipped. While Trump certainly isn't young, he's charismatic, not a party-loyalist, and yet the GOP loves him. The Dems on the other hand? Hillary and Biden. Hillary was fine (no charisma, but a reasonable-enough candidate for president). Biden WAS fine if he ran in 2016, but I think his time has passed.
But Biden fits my "old party-loyalist that stuck around long enough to rise to the top" criteria. Just as Romney, John McCain, John Kerry, and Bob Dole did. I'm sure you remember how all of those guys did in their general elections....
I know Obamas don't grow on trees, but it's pretty concerning (if you're a democrat) how little they've built up potential candiates both during Obama's presidency, and over the past four years.
Of the 3 remaining candidates Biden is the only one getting over 50% in head to head polling.
That is evidence Biden is doing best with independents.0 -

C'mon JV I thought I had you convinced ;-)
Believe it or not, you are making Hillary's argument, but from 2008 not 2016. Hillary won traditional democratic states, so hillary should get the nomination. Obama won most red states in the south and from IL to WA and most states in between which are mostly GOP states.
And obama won the nomination. By 0.1%
so far Biden is running that obama nomination playbook (very similar states with AA support), with one important distinction:
Biden is doing it much better than obama did.
(Also I think the dems are doing much better now with suburban voters).

NEIL YOUNG IS TRULY THE GIFT THAT KEEPS ON GIVING
“If Bernie had run instead of Hillary Clinton, we would not have the incompetent mess we have now.”(Neil Young)“Every point he makes is what I believe in”
“I support Bernie because I listen to what he says,” Young said. “Every point he makes is what I believe in. Every one. In 2016, if Bernie had run instead of Hillary Clinton, I think we would not have the incompetent mess we have now.”
Going on to accuse the Democrat Party of “pulling every political string” to prevent Sanders becoming their candidate both this year and during the 2016 election, Young said that he regrets registering as a Democrat when he became an American citizen in January.
