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.

In Kalifornistan maybe
The anthem for the Left is a song titled “The International”. They want open borders, they want sanctuary for illegal aliens, they want full amnesty really, and they want to increase the size and scope of the welfare state to sustain the newcomers and entice more to come.
No borders means no country, that’s their plan really.
Two fruits on the same ticket might be tough....smirk.
He might be their best shot, but he’s got some big problems. Getting through the Dem primary as a “straight white male” will be pretty difficult. Then there are the Creepy Joe videos.
As wide as Hillary’s victory over Trump in 2016?
You bet he would win, “Stand up Chuck.” /s
