In simple terms:
1. Joe would fit into a 1970s/1980s situation, where union labor, middle-class working Democrats, and rural votes would fit into the agenda (which doesn't work today).
2. On the thinking-man's scale....giving Joe a ninth-grade 20-question math or geography quiz....Joe probably wouldn't be able to pass (even with 60 minutes allocated for the quiz).
3. Joe doesn't fit into the Bernie-crowd agenda.
4. Joe is mostly known for saying a lot of stuff, and only meaning half of it. We are talking about forty years of that type of behavior.
5. Joe has a 'soiled' reputation for helping relatives with insider deals. We aren't talking about once or twice.....we are talking about thirty-odd years of deals. Corruption-wise, he never saw an issue....ever.
6. In terms of an older-white-guy pretending to be buddy-buddy with Latinos and blacks.....Joe ranks a '5' on the big scale. Mayor Pete, sadly, only ranks a '3'.
7. Joe's entire life has been about looking 'middle-classish', but working for the wealthy and VIPish.
8. In a debate situation.....even with a pint of whiskey in him.....Senator Reed from Rhode Island could probably out-argue Joe.
9. Joe has never been known as an ideas-guy....ever.
10. Joe was ranked for the VP job for President Obama....because he wasn't going to ever be much of a contributor to the inside crew. That should stand out at this point.
