While many talking heads at liberal mainstream media outlets have suggested that former Vice President Joe Biden is poised to defeat President Trump in the general election later this year, CNN anchor Jake Tapper suggested otherwise, comparing Biden's candidacy to John Kerry's against President George W. Bush. Then he drew comparisons between this election cycle and the 2004 election cycle. There's a huge coalescing around that person, they want to end the primary process as soon as possible and then basically they coronate this person." He continued, "Now, what did we learn in the last few weeks? Mark McKinnon, a former George W. Bush adviser told me that, actually, they feared Howard Dean more because Howard Dean, even though he was less predictable, there was a starker difference between Howard Dean and George W. Bush and he was drawing much bigger crowds than John Kerry was able to."
