Former Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. is in the final stages of deciding whether to run for president and has told allies he is skeptical the other Democrats eyeing the White House can defeat President Trump, an assessment that foreshadows a clash between the veteran Washington insider and the more liberal and fresh-faced contenders for the party's 2020 nomination.
Many Democratic voters, and nearly all major Democratic donors, are keenly interested in Mr. Biden’s plans because of their consuming focus on finding a candidate who can beat a president they believe represents a threat to American democracy. But there is also a rising demand in the party for a more progressive standard-bearer who reflects the increasingly diverse Democratic coalition.
Mr. Biden would instantly be the early front-runner if he ran, but he would have to bridge divides in a primary that would test whether Democrats are willing to embrace a moderate white man in his 70s if they view him as the best bet to oust Mr. Trump.
"He has the best chance of beating Trump, hands down," said Senator Tom Carper of Delaware, Mr. Biden's longtime friend and former colleague. "On a scale of one to 10, that's probably about a 12 for us."

For the Democrats, on a scale of 1 to 10, Slow Joe is a 12 ...
I’m certainly not for him but I think he probably has the best chance to win the nomination of the Democratic party, who else have they got? I don’t think Bernie has enough country-wide appeal.
Run, Joe, run.
I look forward to the Creepy Uncle Joe ads.
“Many Democratic voters, and nearly all major Democratic donors, are keenly interested in Mr. Biden’s plans because of their consuming focus on finding a candidate who can beat a president they believe represents a threat to American democracy.”
Due to their warped minds none of these RATs from politician to donor class can see they’re the MAIN threat to American democracy!
The Neil Kinnock speech. Will it be replayed in the heat of October or during the primaries?
Bernie can’t run as a dem this go around, the dems changed their party rules. Hope he runs as an independent though, would be funny as all get up to watch the dems try and force him to drop out.
Please run Pervert Joe. please run you pervert.
An elderly straight white male cannot win their primaries
Does the fact he swims naked in front of female Secret Service agents improve or diminish his street cred with Dim voters?
Stalking horse. Just there to take flak.
Yes, given their list of crazies, he’s probably their best choice.
That’s just wrong..
Never make the mistake that Biden is dumb.
He’s evil, but he isn’t stupid. He’s an evil clown.
That said, if Biden is the Democrats’ best hope, then they’re doomed.
Unfortunately, I think they have plenty of candidates waiting for the next presidential primary.
Biker chicks for Joe
However, the best thing the 'rats have going for them isn't any single candidate - it is their massive voter fraud and election fraud machine. With that behind them, almost any candidate they put up becomes a very real contender.
Biden is the old-guard non-fringe power apparatus of the democrat party’s last hope to hold on.
Sure they got a few other moderates who might also be able to get brought into the fold, but if they fail, their pendulum swings far left.
As much as Hilary worried me (and it was a lot) because of how entrenched her corruption went, she wasn’t a Bernie or Cortez leftist.
It’ll be interesting to see where the democrat party goes in 2020
Well, they have Romney...
Creepy Joe is lucky there were cameras there. The bikers didn’t look too happy.
