    because there isn’t anyone in the party with national name recognition who’d get wide spread support and who is acceptable to the corporate democrats.

    Biden was a holdover from the Obama brand. People liked Obama.

      Yeah, but how else do you build name brands other than by pushing them to the national stage and giving them opportunities? Obama had only been involved in politics for 12 years (and only been a senator at the national level for 4 years) before running for President.
