I love Joe Biden.
At the same time I also believe the Democratic Party needs a fresh young face (or many fresh young faces) to field against the Republicans in 2020.

Age is not the final determiner in running for public office, but in running for President television appeal is necessary to recruit a following that will include the much needed younger voters.

I am constantly in awe of the apparent energy of California's Governor Jerry Brown, who's - what?- 78. I should eat what Jerry eats.
Compared to our current POTUS, Jerry Brown is Mr. High Energy.
