Exciting is essential for election. Not excitement, lack of energy: No way to go but fail. For him, he gotta get some themes, exciting the audience. For now, I didn't see one from him, not yet.
Joe Biden thinks it’s critical that Donald Trump not get a second term - and though it’s early, he doesn’t yet see anyone else who could stop that from happening. After beginning the year both teasing a 2020 bid and ruling one out - sometimes on the same day - Biden in recent months has shifted unmistakably in favor of running, say multiple people who’ve been in touch with the former vice president and his team. For the first time in what would be the sixth presidential campaign that he’s either seriously flirted with or launched, Biden sees an argument for a candidacy for which he is the only answer: An elder statesman who can help repair the damage and divisions in the country and around the world, unite the competing wings of the Democratic Party, and appeal to traditional Democratic voters who fled last year for Trump. Many Democrats are wary about pegging the future of the party with Biden, who will be 77 by 2020, the oldest potential candidate in the field other than Bernie Sanders.
