  2. They are all white.
  3. They are all in their seventies: Warren is 70, Biden is 78, Mike Bloomberg is 78, Sanders is 79
  4. Three men, one woman. Oops. Two men.
  5. Two in the so-called middle lane, two in the so-called left lane. Oops. One in the middle lane, one in the left lane.
  6. Two Jews, two Christians. Of the Christians, Biden is Roman Catholic, Warren is a mainstream Protestant. Oops. One Jew, one Christian.
  7. None were born wealthy. Each came from a family with, at best, modest finances.
