Stuart Varney: If you're a moderate Democrat, who do support in 2020 -- Joe Biden?!
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}I'm Stuart Varney and this is "My Take."
If you're a moderate, a middle-of-the-road Democrat you know a JFK kind of guy, even a Bill Clinton. Who do you have for the 2020 race? Nobody.
Your best hope is former Vice President Joe Biden but he's not declared his candidacy at this point, and if he runs and wins, he wouldn't be sitting in the Oval Office until he's almost 79-years-old. His age would be a factor in a presidential election.

One hundred fifty million Americans ought to lose the insurance they get from their employer and trust the government...instead! Talk about radical.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Bernie Sanders wants a huge estate tax increase: he doesn't want you leaving much to the grandkids!
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who now seems to lead the Democratic party, wants huge increases in income taxes, plus trillions in spending on green energy.
Senator Elizabeth Warren wants a wealth tax.

In my opinion, the Democrats have taken a sharp left turn towards socialism: it's tax and spend on steroids. So what does a moderate Democrat do? Leave the party? Back an independent like former Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz?
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Hope the Democrats lose again in 2020 to flush the socialists out?
Or, more likely, pray that Joe Biden runs? Time to bring in a moderate Democrat.....
