Hi! Chris here -- If former Vice President Joe Biden decides to run for the 2020 nomination, it’ll be his third time running for president. Do you think the third time will be the charm?

[mistahanansi]

No, he's not. Bernie is the obvious frontrunner, plain and simple.

[brooklynherve]

Aside from the establishment, who is excited over this guy? Bernie 2020!

[jennslifeinhuntingtonwv]

Bernie is my hero! I don't care what color he is. Or what his gender is. Or how young or old he is. He is the leader of our revolution! He has my support and my vote.

[ritaturner]

Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders are only a year apart in age. They keep bringing up Bernie’s age. Will they keep bringing up Biden’s age or a double standard?

[sammorrow]

Joe's a good guy but he's not presidential material. Bernie's got my vote.

[crosstrigger]

Obama had to pull Biden out of the garbage heap. If it wasn't for him, Biden wouldn't even be a thought in the public's mind. A Biden run would be a gift to Trump.

[dirtydobby]

What I learned from 2016... do the opposite of what CNN says.


Bernie 2020

[Qocaine]

I like Joe Biden, but I've honestly had enough of his being on the fence about running. So much so, that I hope he doesn't run.

[grantdanny]

No one but Bernie - coming from a liberal in Indiana

[tbone]

Sorry CNN no one wants Biden except you also the best known candidate is Burnie. P.S. oh wow Biden is 1 year younger then Burnie. Burnie is just to old to run.

[mattrussillo]

Where are you getting those statistics?
Sanders position compared to Biden
POLICY-wise Sanders is aboout 30 years YOUNGER!

[rome]

The problem is the msm has picked Kamala Harris to be the next president based on her sex and race not her policies or character.

[hasher]

America needs Bernie. Someone with balls who will kick Trump's clockweights and make him own up to his crimes.

[dmsanders]

Yes...because he hasn't said anything. Ask him about reparations or immigration and he will be done for too.

[fallonstone]

Its bernie .. Biden is old news like hillary . GO BERNIE !!!

[nicholasruff]

No, Bernie Sanders is ACTUALLY the democratic frontrunner. Deal with it.

[plasmachaos]

Bernie is the clear front runner and I base my opinion in the Iowa and New Hampshire polls.

[gaydrinkers]

Sanders is the frontrunner and Sanders is the one to stand against Trump.

[CamSkyeMovieGuy]

Chris: Bernie is too old and white to be polar

Also Chris: Biden is popular and the frontrunner
