Joe Biden can’t win the race, so he should quit his quest

Published



If former Vice President Joe Biden did as poorly in the Iowa caucuses as anecdotal evidence suggests, then he should exit the race.

Biden, at age 77, is too old, is too inept at organizing, has never proved to be a big vote earner, and is ethically and politically damaged goods for a fall campaign against President Trump. If Biden really wants his party to have an electable nominee, he will drop out now and invite into the race a new entrant representing old-style, Hubert Humphrey liberalism, as opposed to the left-progressivism most of the 2020 Democratic candidates espouse.
