Joe's the man for America's over-65 generation

It was a Tuesday evening last month and he had limped into Las Vegas, bruised from his disappointing showings in the Iowa and New Hampshire nominating contests.

Mr Biden's ability to connect with Ms Honkala's age group - through his resume and more centrist tendencies, his talk of shared values and his perceived general election promise - helped him regain his footing in Nevada, surge to victory in South Carolina and catapult to his perch as the Democratic Party's likely presidential nominee.

In Florida, a state with a significant retiree population, Mr Biden won the Democratic primary this month by nearly 40 percentage points, a reflection of both his momentum in the race and his strength with constituencies including more moderate Latino voters, African Americans and college-educated white suburbanites.

When it comes to electoral outcomes, however, young people are being outflanked."Rather than increasing their influence in 2020, what's happened is, their parents and grandparents have increased their influence," he said. Even in the midterm elections in 2018, hailed as a high-water mark for youth voting because the share of 18-to 24-year-olds nearly doubled from the previous midterm election, the gap with older voters remained about the same. About 66 per cent of eligible older people turned out, compared with about 36 per cent of those aged 18 to 24, said Mr William Frey, a demographer at the Brookings Institution.

Funny, that had the chance to actually nominate someone young and progressive. End up again with providing their electorate with the option of, 'who do you hate less'.

Clown 2 in the making!!! If this happens....Paradigm shift to China
