Now she sort of has that "yesterday's news" feel to her in my mind.
Biden? A disgraced 1988 candidate ran out of the election because of plagiarism and then a big time loser in the 2008 Democrat race for the nominee.
The only one of the 3 who doesn't feel like a failed former candidate is Sanders. And you can see the reaction in the polls and the crowds he is drawing.
But it sure would be nice if Sanders was 43 years old instead of 73 years old.
He will turn 74 on Sept.8th
He will be 75 when the general election happens.
So if he won and served two terms he would be 83 years old during his final year of the Presidency.
That's got to come into play in this election. If he gets much closer in the polls...Hillary is gonna turn her attention to him and things are gonna get dirty.

Were Sanders to get into the White House, it would almost certainly be for only one term by choice. If he remained reasonably popular, Elizabeth Warren would then be a shoo-in come 2018.
