Democrats might be about to blow it -- and give Trump another 4 years.
In 2016, Trump tapped into a very real anti-establishment sentiment by railing against Wall Street speeches, corrupt corporate trade deals, and the corrupt swamp. He was lying about his position on all those things. But his outsider campaign had cross-party appeal.
The Atlantic just wrote a story entitled: "Joe Biden, Incumbent."
When thinking about who can defeat Trump, it would be complete malpractice to nominate someone seen as the ultimate political insider.
Someone who conspired in backrooms for decades with credit card lobbyists and corrupt Republican politicians like Mitch McConnell. Someone who voted for every corporate bankruptcy bill, Wall Street deregulation, and trade deal that voters hate.
Biden would ironically cede the outsider mantle to a corrupt incumbent president.

Here's more of why Joe Biden is not our best foot forward:
- Recently, Biden said Clinton should have taken the high road on the Access Hollywood tapes and called women candidates "angry."
- Biden voted for Wall Street deregulation, NAFTA, and the Iraq War.
- After immigrants confronted Biden at a recent campaign event about Obama's record of deportations, Biden told the speaker, "You should vote for Trump."
- In response to a debate question about the legacy of slavery, Biden's rambling answer included an old racist idea about how parents of color don't know how to raise their kids: "It’s not that they don’t want to help -- They don’t know what quite what to do" he said. His answer? “Leave the record player on at night” to teach kids more words.
- When fondly recalling days of greater civility in the Senate, Biden invoked memories of working with two staunch segregationists to "get things done."
- Biden has been recorded making old fashioned, sexist jokes to young women, like saying "I'll bet you're as bright as you are good-looking" to a 10-year-old, and telling men they have "great taste" while looking their wives up and down.
- His attempt to seem in touch with racial strife recently was to talk about a "gang leader" he once knew named Corn Pop. Many Black leaders mocked him.
- Biden implied the solution to sexism was...nominating him. Emily's List's VP Christina Reynolds rebutted.
- Biden represented the credit card capital of Delaware -- and opposed Elizabeth Warren for years as she tried to get relief for victims of spiraling, predatory credit card debt.
