The two old white guys may even take each other out of the race by exchanging cronavirus. Tulsi Gabbard will be the last woman left standing.
Go Tulsi!

Bernie may be wrong, but he is sharp compared to ailing old Joe.
Yes, I agree, Bolshevik Bernie Sandersnista has still got all of his cognitive faculties intac. Socialism is a poisonous, failed political ideology, but Bernie knows how to put forward a quasi-rational argument for it. In a sense, anyone who is a committed socialist in the year 2020, is severely deluded and "crazy," but that doesn't necessarily mean that they are losing their cognitive/rational faculties as is the case with dementia. What I'm trying to say is that you can be a fanatical socialist without necessarily being mentally retarded.
Anyway, to get to the point, I agree with you that if the Democratic Presidential race boiled down to a contest between Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders, Sanders would win. But that's never going to happen Bigdog. I'll tell you why...
The professional Democratic establishment are the people who control the Democratic (political) party. The power within the Democratic establishment - which is a very broad coalition of interest groups that includes: leftist journalists working in the mainstream, national media, leftist university academics in the humanities and social sciences' politicised" Hollywood celebrities, like Barbara Streisand; opinion makers - individuals like, say Oprah Winfrey who is a staunch and quite radically "progressive" Democrat; the majority of the Federal governments bureaucrats, including Senior Officers in the FBI and CIA, and- (believe it or not) - members of the senior management/administration in the Pentagon, the DNC, and so on, is actually concentrated in the hands of a small, super-wealthy elite. They are big businessmen, corporate king-pins, millionaires and billionaires from the tech sector, etc. These are the guys who wield the real power in the Democratic establishmen;, as they say, "Money talks and bullshit walks." This elite are like the old-fashioned, cigar - chomping "backroom boys", who keep themselves well out of sight while they are manipulating the levers of power, and cutting deals with the Democratic party leadership on policy issues.
The Democratic establishment elite has already written off the Nov 2020 election, they know that Trump is going to win it. So the question they had to deal with is WHO WOULD BE THE BEST DEMOCRAT FOR US TO HAVE LOSE TO TRUMP. That is, who will be the best Democratic Presidential nominee for us to be defeated in November ?
One thing was clear IT CANNOT be Sanders. Because if Sanders wins the Democratic nomination, the result will be that the Democratic Party fractures ( and there are already 210 or so Democrat "progressives" (socialists) in the House. Remember, if Sanders as Presidential nominee were thrashed by Trump in the November election, Bernie would remain the titular leader of the Democratic party, its ALWAYS been that way, its like a law carved in stone. The Establishment elite do not want a Democratic Party run buy a crazy socialist. If they need to they will use all of their political muscle to ensure Sanders does not get anywhere near being nominated to take on Trump.
What the Democratic establishment wants is the centrist/moderate, Democratic party
status quo to remain intact after the Democrats lose to Trump in November. And that, I think (?), is why they backed Biden. Biden doesn't have any kind of distinctive or fixed political ideology, he could be relied upon to do whatever he is told to do by the establishment heavy-weights. BUT - and this is what I can't understand - Biden is losing his mind, he has dementia. Any intelligent adult could see that there's something serious wrong with his state of mind. Yet the establishment power-broker still placed their money on him?
And now, I have no idea what is going to happen in the months ahead leading up to the Democratic Convention ? If you have a theory let me know what it is !
