With Biden as their nominee, Democrats learned absolutely nothing from 2016 | Opinion

Joe Biden is the Hillary Clinton of 2020, but the Democratic Party's leadership clearly doesn't see this as a liability.

With Joe Biden as their presumptive 2020 presidential nominee, the Democrats are headed for a major disappointment.

The Democratic Party's leadership clearly doesn't see this as a liability, because it arguably went to even greater lengths to swing the nomination in Biden's favor than it did to ensure Clinton's nomination in 2016. To these party leaders, it was unfathomable that Clinton's well-earned reputation as a power-hungry panderer could have contributed to her stunning defeat. America simply wasn't"ready for a woman president," they told themselves.

By positioning Biden as their final candidate, the Democrats have settled for the worst of both worlds: a lifeless establishment puppet burdened by an extremist policy platform. Biden's establishment side turns off the"true believers" who fueled Sanders' candidacy, yet the former vice president's embrace of the senator's radical agenda simultaneously gives pause to establishment figures in the Democratic Party.
