For Sanders, a democratic socialist and independent running for the Democratic nomination, that 17 percent is up 10 percentage points since April. Meanwhile, Biden's 13 percent is steady for Monmouth's polling over the last few months.

Biden is probably too intellectual for today’s America. Maybe we could get a rapper or a porn star to run for the job.

So two white males who are even older than Hillary are the alternative?

Don’t give them any ideas! A rapper running on Sanders’ platform could win this walking away.

Seriously? This is what they are settling on? A choice between a proud socialist, the most corrupt and dishonest politician in American history and your crazy uncle Joe.

Biden is at least as liberal as Hillary and no improvement although he’s not as sleazy.

But I thought Hillary was a guarantee lock on the presidency. What, the party that promotes racial and gender diversity is turning their backs and possibly denying a woman a chance at the presidency? How can this be? I thought only racist, chauvinist Republicans would do such a thing.
