AOC’s Party Will Rebuff JOE’s Caress
Thomas McArdle Election 2020, politics April 26, 2019 4 Minutes
A white can still win the Democrat presidential nomination. So can a male. So can a senior citizen. And a heterosexual. And so can a non-socialist. But an old, straight Caucasian guy from the party’s current ideological center cannot.
And all these attributes may be beside the point anyway if that same septuagenarian, white, cisgender male is a full-fledged member of the Washington establishment going back to the early 1970s.
Joe Biden squeaked through to his first election to the U.S. Senate, as an unknown underdog, the same year Richard Nixon was re-elected President, over 46 years ago. And he’s been Amtraking into and out of the Beltway from nearby Delaware until becoming Vice President in 2009.
It may well be true that of the overcrowded Democratic field of candidates, Biden has the best chance of defeating President Trump, because of his ability to connect with many of the disaffected white working-class voters Trump captured in 2016, his connection to the twice-re-elected President Obama, and Biden’s success with black voters.
