I have a confession to make. I wasn’t sure Hillary Clinton would beat Donald Trump in the 2016 presidential election.
Sure, I supported Clinton, wanted her to be our president and cried for about three days in the fetal position when she lost – but I wasn’t entirely shocked that Trump won.
For years I have seen my own Democratic Party support very intelligent candidates who seem a bit too highbrow for mainstream America.
John Kerry was a very eloquent, intelligent and polished speaker who I felt wiped the floor with George W. Bush in all three of their presidential candidate debates.
I also believed Hillary Clinton was more professional and had more political knowledge and intellect than Trump, and I concluded – as polls reported most people felt – that she won each presidential candidate debate hands down.
But the American people in both of those elections seemed to feel more comfortable voting for a guy they’d like to have a beer with. That was one of the reasons explaining the success of Bill Clinton – a Rhodes scholar who played the saxophone and spoke with an Arkansas twang.
Bill Clinton was likeable. For many voters, Trump was as well.
As a Democrat, I not only want a good strong candidate to run against President Trump. I want someone who’ll win. That someone, in my opinion, is former Vice President Joe Biden.

Reg’ler Adlai Stevenson, or Estes Kefauver, yup.
I guess she wasn't watching the same debates that I did. I wonder what broadcasts liberals watch, because she also said Christine Blasey-Fraud was very convincing with her teenager mall talk.
Although Democrats want a woman or a minority they may come to the conclusion the only way to beat a white man is with another white man.
Groping memes aren't going to change anyones minds. Democratic voters will dismiss them like Trump voters discounted the Access Hollywood tapes.
Biden is willing to fight down and dirty. He's willing to make outrageous claims about Trump. He's willing to hit back like Trump does.
If Democrats decide he's their man Democrats will vote for him.
You won't but Democrats will.
That’s just great. From a rapist (Bubba) to a groper. They should be called DemoGrabs.
The author clearly is suffering from some kind of brain damage. A fall? Drugs? Car accident? Who knows? Who cares?
I think you are in violation of FR policies as there wasn’t a warning this article could cause violent fits of projectile vomiting...
I’d rather see Joe ride into the sunset on my color TV screen.
Its too bad this dimwhit thinks that being a good speaker is all it takes to be a president.
No wonder she thought Hilda was intelligent.
Agree. Leslie is an obvious dingbat.
That’s OK. Democrats all voted for Hillary.
You’re overestimating Biden. Trump already said of him running, “I should be so lucky!”
Double Barrel Joe?
I think lounge lizard Bernie has a greater following.
Joe’s always been out for all that he can get, if you know what I mean.
Joe “creepy hands” Biden.
Can’t wait for 2020. If you thought 2016 was the best election ever, wait till you see 2020.
“Does anyone think Hillary is presently jockeying for position to run for president again in 2020?”
I’ve said all along, Hillary HAS to run, or go to jail. Along with Podesta and her buddies. Also, Trump has stopped the gravy train for gov embedded liberals, environmentalists, etc. $hundreds of billions lost to their coffers. She’s the only one who can grift them back into the plum pudding.
Creepy Uncle Joe is perhaps the only white man who can win the Democrat nomination in 2020.
And he’ll be the last.
He’d also be a safe throwaway candidate, as no one is beating Trump in the next election.
Simple dumbass who has built a life on death, self-pity and egomania. The perfect Dem candidate.
I know that Leslie Marshall is a moron, because she thinks so highly of Lurch, Biden, Shrillary, etc. The fact that she thinks Jon Vichy Kerry is eloquent and Hillary “won” the debates with Trump shows that she has no judgment or intelligence at all.
I think Biden would've beaten TRUMP in 2016 because Democrats in MI, WI & PA probably would've stuck with Biden than take a chance with TRUMP
But after 4 years of TRUMP as POTUS, these Democrats are staying with TRUMP now! No way will they be switching back to Biden! Foot in Mouth Biden lost his chance to be POTUS in 2016 cause he was too chickenshit to take on Hillary! LOL
The Groper and the Gaffer all in one convenient package.
And I so agree. Bring it.
