> [@Velocity](#): > > I still don’t understand the appeal of Biden and how he jumps to 1# in mere hours. He is an old white man and a throwback to the 1980s-1990s instead of the 2020s. What is generating the fireworks exactly? Because that old “white man” will appeal to many Trump voters? He’s going to draw a lot of votes away from Trump. Voters so disgusted by Hillary that they voted this egomaniac into office. That’s assuming the ultra left doesn’t force Biden to shift from the center. He’s already backpedaling on the Anita Hill hearings 25 years ago. The irony doesn’t escape me that Biden is the only centrist still standing. 20 years ago I thought of him as too liberal. Not any more. He looks like John McCain compared to the other bleeding heart candidates. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/joe-bidens-in/833042)._
