I have a confession to make. I wasn’t sure Hillary Clinton would beat Donald Trump in the 2016 presidential election.
Sure, I supported Clinton, wanted her to be our president and cried for about three days in the fetal position when she lost – but I wasn’t entirely shocked that Trump won.
For years I have seen my own Democratic Party support very intelligent candidates who seem a bit too highbrow for mainstream America.
John Kerry was a very eloquent, intelligent and polished speaker who I felt wiped the floor with George W. Bush in all three of their presidential candidate debates.
I also believed Hillary Clinton was more professional and had more political knowledge and intellect than Trump, and I concluded – as polls reported most people felt – that she won each presidential candidate debate hands down.
But the American people in both of those elections seemed to feel more comfortable voting for a guy they’d like to have a beer with. That was one of the reasons explaining the success of Bill Clinton – a Rhodes scholar who played the saxophone and spoke with an Arkansas twang.
Bill Clinton was likeable. For many voters, Trump was as well.
As a Democrat, I not only want a good strong candidate to run against President Trump. I want someone who’ll win. That someone, in my opinion, is former Vice President Joe Biden.

Yes, but for the fact that he so handsy with prepubescent girls..
Think she has it backwards...
John Kerry was a very incoherent, unintelligible and emaciated speaker who I felt tongue-wiped George W. Bush's ass after all three of G.W.'s post-debate bowel movements.
Doesn’t matter.
We have seen the last white male that will ever lead the Democrat ticket.

“Highbrow” demonrats. Snicker.
“A white man is NOT going to be a democrat presidential nominee.”
Agreed - It will either be old, white, & FEMALE: Hillary or Elizabeth Warren...OR young, non-white, & FEMALE: Kamala Harris...or young, non-white, & MALE: Corey Booker. Each of these are eminently beatable, IMO. None of them have the Bubba likability factor at all. Each of them swerves strongly toward socialist, the kiss of death.
Every one of those possibilities you list is so unbelievably DOOMED in a debate with Trump that it’s almost impossible to contemplate.
Trump is getting America used to reality, and how reality can be unbelievably great for everyone in this fantastic country. The Dems gripe and snipe, but they have NEVER outlined what their “vision” for the US is in the first place. What the hell would they be running on? “We Hate Trump”? That’s hardly a party platform.
They have nothing. They are nothing. It’s only the media that keeps these old hippies and young Antifas in any way viable.
Just for fun, as I do not think he will be the nominee in 2020, what name would Trump tag him with if he did?
Gropin Joe
Pedofeelin Biden
Vice Pedophile Biden
Joe Biden from Della Beware
Kids Hidin’ from Biden
Creepy Uncle Joe
any other ideas?
I read the name Leslie Marshall and how she wanted Hillary to win and wept in bed in a fetal position for threes days when she lost, I knew not to go any further.
And she thinks "Hey-Chuck-Stand-Up-Chuck" Biden will beat Trump?
I think I read too far myself.
Leslie Marshall does have bugs for brains.
I LOVE humor columns.
Oh, wait. She’s serious?!? She wants Gropey Joe, an entire subset of the #metoo meme, to be their next leader. The plaiarist with the hair plugs and the gaffe-a-minute speeches? The Joe Izusu of candidates?
Run, Joe, run!! Trump will eat you alive worse than he did Nurse Wretched.
Michael Ducarcass...
Leslie needs to get back on her MEDS!
There are PLENTY of pictures and videos of Joe Biden touching minors INAPPROPRIATELY! PLENTY!
Slow Gropin’ Joe!!!! PERFECT!!
right off the bat she shows she is FOS .
That's what happens to world-class cheaters in this life. Count on her to ratchet up the cheating which will result in her losing again if she runs.
