J Sanders had his hands tied to the back. A lot of legitimate criticism of Biden reflects badly on Obama, too - so he couldn't go there (not even surrogates, the endorsement of Saint Obama and the support of his ardent fan base would be needed in the general)
I watched vids of Biden in Jan 2017 (receiving the medal of freedom which is the highest medal a civilian can get - VERY flattering considering the record of Biden, maybe Obama wanted to prop him up because of the cancer death of his son). THEN Biden was coherent and could give a speech off the cuff (and he was very emotional about the honor).
Anyway - even I can fall for those two guys and I know what self serving sell outs / cowards / opportunists they are.
People LIKE Biden and Obama and they never hear any critical remark on what they have done or not done if they watch TV.
If yoo see Joe and Jill promoting their book (after the death of son Beau) you'll buy the close knit family narrative (likely it is even true and not just a PR gag).
I wondered if they marketed the death of their son and set themselves up for running for president in 2020 - but maybe writing and talking about the deceased son was their way to process the loss. It seemed to be genuine.
On the other hand when Biden says how much he admired his sons (when you raise them and at some point your realize they are better than you ...) - that did not really factor in the addiction of his son Hunter, no ?
Joe Biden is not good in self awarness. Addiction is a monster, one can have empathy for the weakness and moral transgressions it causes. And his boys had lost their mother at an early age (Biden became a widower and single parent when he was about to be sworn in as one of the youngest Senators ever).
But then Joe Biden was the enthusiastic advocate for 3 strikes and you are out, for the death penalty for drug trafficking (see C-span footage from 1993 or so, he proudly announces his new nick name The Grim Reaper or Mr. Death - one of the two). The Crime Bill was the project to ensure the reelection of Bill Clinton, Biden advertised it to the Republicans with Law and Order rhetoric to fish for a few supporting votes and he and Hillary did not shy away from the dog whistles.
His son Hunter certainly got more than 3 chances, and lots of cushy posts. Son Beau profitted from the position of his father when he became State attorney (and father also paid for law school, no ?)
Joe Biden not long before he enterd the race about about millenials: "Give me a break, I have no empathy for them."
(he was eager to support the measures that screw millenials, outsourcing of well paying manufacturing jobsjobs, so they are pushed to go to college and the bankrupcy bill so they are shackled to their student loan debts, support for financial deregulation that cleared the path for the Great Financial Crisis. Under Bill Clinton the project to deregulate Finance was finished in the late 1990s, took the banksters only 8 -9 years to completely mess it up).

Hi David, hi everyone go over to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O78XUDVzENI
Krystal Ball: If Bernie gets this one thing, he should drop out right now - I disagree, he should stay in, I see now a chance this could SHIFT again. - Biden is not good when he has an intense schedule, or has to process a lot of data. Sanders on the other hand has conferred with experts and pushed for detailled plans and runs around pushing for GOOD solutions.
Those lunatics (Biden, Tom Perez) encouraged the people vote (kudos to Ohio), let young people go on spring break vacation and the DNC ecnouraged voters to vote in person (as if one could not have organised a mail vote 1 month later). - meanwhile in Italy: they dragged their feet in the beginning with catastrophic results. The full respiratory problems only manifest after more than a week (if a person gets into trouble) and it can be that they after 2 - 3 weeks in an ICU bed.
They are completely overwhelmed. It spread fast, they were unaware, and the number of complications is NOW increasing exponentially (with the 3 weeks lag). The population in Italy is older and they traditionally like to smoke in that region (respiratory problems).
I heard that China sent them doctors. Not sure what the EU is doing.
The recommendation of Biden that people (old people more often) should come out to vote for him will haunt him - and the states.
Letting the young people party at the beach, spring break ?? - now we can only hope the warm weather might help. Young people are more often asymptomatic that means they SPREAD the virus.
Holy shit ! and then they all go back from whereever they are. The governor of Florida should be prosecuted.

I saw clips of Obama and Biden - I had to remind myself that I do no like them (because they for sure come accross likeable). Since they are sellouts that serve big biz and big banks, they get / got FLATTERING and FREQUENT coverage. (And Obama is a talent). Joe Biden has been around for decades:
Joe the family man (that may be even true), the folksy guy that tells it like it is (if he is tone deaf; he does not mean it), friend of the working class, elder statesman. - yes bernie has good ideas, but Joe also means well and has roughly the same ideas (or so they think). He seems to be the safer choice to beat Trump.
He was lucky to have been the VP pick (because he is so well connected with the big donors, the party insiders, gets along well with them - his role was to signal to big donors, white people, Reagan Democrats that it was O.K. to vote for the black man).
Biden has been around since the 1980s (he gave the Reagan admin ideas to push the war on drugs harder.
Got plenty of (usually friendly or at least neutral) coverage over the decades.
In 1988 his plagiarism and lies ended his presidential bid, but I do not know how much coverage that got. You would think that older black people remember Stolen Valor regarding the Civil Rights Movement.
The Anita Hill grilling got attention, but maybe more from white feminists. Biden had chaired the committee that relentlessly grilled her. he did not step in to defend her from offensive / irrelevant questions by Republicans. They had other witnesses waiting on standby, Biden could have called them in. I think the good 'ole boy's club had an arrangement.
They somehow could not deny the testimony of Hill, maybe it had gotten too much public attention, but with more women telling similar things about Clarence Thomas that Republican black Scotus pick would have been rejected.
But he did not suffer from that. In general that vague but friendly image was maintained.
People vote what they are familiar with. And many still think they get the news and somewhat unbiased information on TV.
Sanders is not so long present on TV and he got plenty of negative and misleading coverage.

@lafuerza113 Like the extinction clock moved one minute closer to 12. - of course it is insane that it should come down to one man to save the U.S. from itself (at age 77, also set in his ways). - one person also can die, get corrupted, intimidated - or simply overwhelmed.
Carter may have been a micromanager - and Congress and the D.C. insiders for sure blocked him when they could.
Movements ! with a strong leader have more focus - but by taking out the leader they can be easily disrupted. See Civil Rights Movement after the death of MLK.
What if the DNC had not stolen the VP pick from Wallace in 1944 (he was a progressive and very popular - a few months later HE would have been president after FDR died - and in 1944 the insiders knew that was only a question of time.
That's why they plotted against Wallace and pushed Truman, he was for imperialism, started the hostilities with the Soviets immediately. Until then Staling and FDR had gone along well, the U.S. ruling class WANTED the Cold War, and Truman delivered.
Stalin was a dictator but the S.U. was in terrible shape and some economic help would have created a lot of goodwill.
When Soviet citizens met U.S. citizens towards the end of the Cold War (late 1980s) they often brought up the food they got during WW2 when they were at the brink of starvation (and fought Germany in Europe, which spared the U.S. and U.K. the losses.
It was likely also a way to be polite and say something positive to an American about the U.S. - but I think it made such an impact that the younger generation grew up with these tales of the Great Patriotic War (within families, not the official propaganda).
Soviet citizens were never as negative about Americans as the other way round.
In 1953 Stalin died anyway, and there was a thawing within the Soviet Union after the brutal reign of Stalin ended.
Many countries in Europe descended into right wing "normal" dictatorships / fascim in the early 1930s (or 1920s already). Because of ongoing economic hardship after WW1. But in Germany they had Chancellor Hitler. (and who knows: if the president - the other pillar of power in the Republic had not been on his deathbed he could have stopped the Chancellor of the minority government of only 35 %. Conservative Hindenburg had a lot of standing also with the military, police, justice system, ....
Hitler did not have a military or violent coup. The pillars of society (incl. WW1 veterans) or an active president could have stopped him.
What if MLK had NOT been shot. His position on the Vietnam war made him unpopular in 1967 - but only 1,5 - 2 years later many would have realized that he was ahead of the curve and did the right thing when it was not easy.
If he had wanted to run for president he could have - and I think he could have won in the 1970s already.
