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.

ROTFLOL.....these Dems are so deluded.
Why not have Joe Bitem?
Creepy Joe for the win?
er......ok
No sexual harassment secret claims?
LOL. Yeah, Rendell. Didn’t you (and a lot of other liberal fools) predict the same thing about Hillary?
Yeah, that’s the ticket.
Fast Eddie remains delusional.
In the age of #MeToo, Creepy Uncle Joe wouldn’t last a week after announcing.
Only problem is he’s a white male. Don’t see that happening
They didn’t know us in 2016, they don’t know us in 2018...and they won’t be prepared to know us in 2020.
Biden??? the old man who can’t keep his hands to himself??
The news for these losers consists of interviewing some Democrat everyday, then creating a headline about whatever the numb nuts says.
What the hell is he going to run on?
“I hate the economic boom”?
Run Joe, run.
Can you imagine, Biden starts running, Hillary goes batshit crazy and never gets off the tv, because it’s her turn, and then a never ending stream of ads showing, Biden groping and molesting women and girls.
He’s dumber than a box of rocks and the President has proven to be far more smarter and wittier than anyone gave him credit for. Their debates would be epic.
Throw in some more ads of his many gaffes, over the years, and I think he has a chance. I really, really do. That is, if Hillary and her machine, don’t take him to Ft Marcy Park, for a picnic.
oh boy.
