Former Vice President Joe Biden would “win overwhelmingly” against President Donald Trump in 2020 and is the only “superstar” the Democrats could run for the White House, a former Democratic National Committee chairman said Sunday.
“There's only one person I can say who will definitely win the election and has a superstar appeal in almost every state in the union, and that's Vice President Biden,” Ed Rendell said on John Catsimatidis’ AM 970 radio show in New York.
“To me it’s clear-cut: Joe Biden is our superstar,” Rendell added. “If he decides to run I think he will win overwhelmingly.”
Rendell, a former Pennsylvania governor who led the DNC from 1999 to 2001, noted that age might be the biggest factor working against Biden, who turned 75 in November. But in a race against the 71-year-old Trump, who is the oldest first-term president in American history, Rendell said age would only be a number.
“Of course, people say [Biden's] too old. But he's only a year and a half older than President Trump, and he's in infinitely better shape,” Rendell said.
“I don't think age would be a factor in a Biden-Trump election.”
Someone who shares Rendell’s work history recently argued the opposite. Howard Dean, who was DNC chair from 2005 to 2009, said last week that he believes old people such as himself need to “get the hell out of politics” for 2020 and make way for a younger generation of leaders. Dean specifically cited Biden and Independent Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, who is 76, as popular potential candidates who he said are not what the country will need.

Looks like Biden was so drunk he had no clue about what he was doing.
Go for it.
Those Blue State Democrats probably wouldn't have switched to TRUMP if it was Biden
But Biden would lose now since Democrats have seen what TRUMP has done, they won't be going back to foot in mouth ass clown Biden HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Didn’t “everyone” say this about HRC as well? Liberals really do live in a parallel world which is just a world made up in their heads.
Thank you, President Trump! Keep up the good work and let’s win some more!

““Of course, people say [Biden’s] too old. But he’s only a year and a half older than President Trump, and he’s in infinitely better shape,” Rendell said.”
But in a head-to-head Trump would be running for 4-years while Biden would have the potential for 8. Too old for that.
OTOH, Rendell has often been correct where I have scoffed. That’s salt in the wound to me because Rendell is a slippery as they come.
LOL
A Biden-Rendell ticket could beat Trump, because they would win white working class voters and still win black voters.
I see Kamala Harris, Biden, or Cory Booker in 2020. 2020 is a tossup.
Someone got Drugs for Christmas ,LOL
My cat could win over Uncle Creepy.

LOL why is it playing in Spanish?

The lefties have truly lost it. La La Land has become a reality.
OK, so now they are at the bottom of the barrel? What the heck, take him out, with the NYT propaganda mill, he’ll be the 2nd. coming of Jesus. Shot gun Joe for 2020. (two oh, two oh.)
Just about anyone that the democrats could have come up with would have been a better candidate than Hillary.
I think the Republicans could find a hundred women tomorrow to come forward and say Biden sexually harassed them. And just as many that were young girls at the time.
When you can’t be with the kind you love, honey, love the one you’re with.....
The man has no filters or inhibitions. Weinstein was cautious in comparison.
