For all his flaws, Joe Biden is the only Democratic candidate with a realistic chance and close enough to the center to avoid a crushing defeat in 2020.

President Donald Trump said Friday after a phone call with Russian president Vladimir Putin that Putin has no desire to involve Russia in the spiraling political crisis in Venezuela.
He's a stocky, bespectacled, confrontational, blunt, intelligent, unapologetically conservative, experienced, high-powered official who believes in and fights for the office of the president.
Joe Biden has distinct baggage that could bring him down as hard and as early as Jeb Bush fell. But expecting him to fail as spectacularly as Jeb ignores the important ways in which he is a different animal.
