CMV: Joe Biden Should Note Run For President

I keep seeing that places are including Joe Biden in presidential polls, even though he hasn’t even announced his candidacy yet. He seems to be doing pretty well in these polls, but I don’t think he should run for president.

Even though he is polling well, he is not polling overwhelmingly well. A lot of the other numbers are split between more progressive candidates. I believe that, if Joe Biden runs, it is very likely that he will secure the democratic nomination, but it is very unlikely that he’ll secure the presidency. Why? He is basically Hillary Clinton 2.0 with less background controversy, he won’t excite the progressive wing of the party, he won’t appeal to independents, and he won’t appeal to Republicans who don’t care for Trump.

I think if a more progressive or outsider candidate secures the democratic nomination, they will have a better chance against Trump, and they are more likely to do so if Biden does not enter the race. Change my view.

If he’s Hillary with less background controversy, then that’s a pretty solid place to be. That “background controversy” was the singular most problematic part of her candidacy, and she still came damn close. I’d argue that Biden is a good bit better than that, too, but even that is pretty solid.
