Joe Biden’s entry into the presidential race has solidified his status as the clear frontrunner for the Democratic nomination. He’s the first choice of around 40 percent of Democrats, according to polls . No other candidate is close.
But how do the friends and associates of Barack Obama feel about Biden? The Washington Post tried to find out. It says it interviewed 53 “former Obama advisers, senior White House and Cabinet staff, and campaign professionals” about Biden’s presidential bid.
As a group, these folks aren’t enthusiastic about Biden, according to the Post. He has “yet to become [their] consensus pick.”
Indeed, only eight of the 53 said they are committed to or leaning toward the former vice president. Eleven have committed to other candidates. The remaining 34 said they are waiting to decide.
The lack of enthusiasm for Biden is understandable. A cohort that was in the vanguard of a “hope and change” movement isn’t going to be happy that, 12 years later, the Democrats might nominate a thoroughly uninspiring establishment hack like Joe Biden.
Where’s the “hope and change” in that?
As one of the interviewees reminded the Post, Obama selected Biden because he was a vanilla guy who could reassure voters that the black man at the head of the ticket wasn’t a radical. To end up with the vanilla guy leading the party would feel like a bad joke — a whimper, not a bang.
Which candidates other than Biden appeal to the Obama gang? According to the Post, support is split among Pete Buttigieg, Kamala Harris, Elizabeth Warren, and Beto O’Rourke. None supports Bernie Sanders. That’s too much bang.

Joe May have problems
Bwahahahaha
Anybody else would be knocked out and eventually put on a predator list but not this pervert!
as I correctly predicted the Democrat Party of 2020 POTUS candidates is falling apart with each passing day...including Joe Biden & Bernie Sanders!!!
It’s a wonderful, glorious thing to watch....O’Rourke, Gillibrand, Warren, Sanders, Biden, “Mayor Pete, the Pajama Boy idol”, Booker, etc., etc. Not one of them worth a plug nickel!!!
And...many thanks to the help and assistance from failed Democrat Leaders Pelosi & Schumer and of course, the darlings, that all Americans hate, Nadler & Schiff!!!
He’s dirty, he’s inarticulate, he’s a plagiarist, he’s a serial groper.
On the one hand, #Schadenfreude. OTOH, none of these scum who weren't in the Oval Office every day ever had any actual input or even access to power.

Ok, women don't reference bad jokes and don't use the word "bang", so it's half a man anyway. Either Bent Rhodes or Jon Favgs. Yeah, it's Favgs.
He’s dirty, he’s inarticulate, he’s a plagiarist, he’s a serial groper.

He’s a maroon, Jim.
Biden’s toast as soon as the dozen socialist/leftie candidates who’ll come in last in Iowa drop out and their followers condense behind Bernie.......
My bet is on Pete and Kamala.
He’s straight and white.
BIG problems.
Hell, they didn’t even want doofus Biden to run when he was the sitting Vice President.
This article will be ignored, but damn it spells out “BIDEN CONCEDES” on the front page of the NYeT bigger than it ever did for Hillary.
aaaaah......#neverbiden’s. lol.
This bunch of misfits is just entertainment, to keep the masses busy. There’s another list of whackjobs coming to the surface, soon. Mark my words.
Assuming any of that is actually true, it’s interesting that the obama elite like everyone EXCEPT the two that the majority of Dem voters want:
The Dems are looking like they’re repeating the disconnect between their voters and their elite the same as when the GOP did that with McCain and Romney ...
F#ck a duck Joe, you are an old white man!
