Lets Get Real:
As VP, Biden must have a good lot of mobile numbers for the very rich that support Democrats. Of course as the article notes, he can not be seen as the Establishment rich guy candidate, that would not look good in this left wing field of Candidates. On the other hand VP Biden needs to hit the ground running, he needs to establish offices in Iowa and New Hampshire and other STATES, this takes MONEY and lot of it, the VP might have no choice but to go the rich. As the article notes Senator Sanders has collected 24 million since becoming a candidate, thus Biden will need to make appearances in Iowa and New Hampshire in the COLD, the locals like to test out candidates, to see if they can make the cut. Also lets be honest here, the former VP is OLD, as is Sanders, can they cut it when it comes to a year long campaign, it is a valid question. Also candidates such as Mayor Pete, Beto and Senator Harris can be seen as the future of the Democratic Party, how long before they take a critical look at Candidate Biden, his past mistake will be bought up, he was against busing ( 1970s. the moving of black kids to majority white schools and the other way around ), also he was for a tough crime bill in the 1990s, this affected African - Americans in the main. Also he supported the War in Iraq, as did HRC, there are bound to be other issues, also Biden has a foot in mouth nature, he will say something that will offend, give it time. There is no guarantee that Biden will get the nomination, he time might have been 2016, the same case can be made for Senator Warren. The future might be with the youthful candidates in the Democratic Party.
