I think he could be a real threat to Trump....if he wins the nomination.
But, can he get the nomination? He's 76 years old. He's a white guy. He's been known to grope. And he's far to the right of most of the candidates. I guess time will tell.

Well, tRUMP is 73 years old, so it's not THAT big of an issue. Also, I was listening to "pollers" yesterday who were saying that a majority (62%) of Americans, of all stripes, don't seem to have ANY issues with the age of "white men" running for office and see their years of experience and presumed "wisdom" as assets while the opposite is true for female and candidates of color.
The vast majority of actual Democratic voters ARE "far to the right" of AOC, Bernie, Pete B, Kamala, and other Democrats and candidates currently in the race. So that's not as BIG of an issue as it might otherwise be. He's still to the left of the current occupant and he has the residual "good will" from the Obama admin in the minds of most Democrats.
He might be a bit "handsy" but his friendliness and touchy-feely affection is generally perceived by Democrat voters as a sincere love of PEOPLE and a personal quirk, not a "nasty habit" or even remotely sexual or perverted in any form. He needs to keep his affection in line so that he doesn't invade the personal space of peeps who don't appreciate it and I think he's learned something from the backlash.
Right now, he is "the guy to beat" according to polls. He polls higher than anyone else... so far.
You're right though, time will tell.
