    If Biden is the candidate we'll have an interesting social science experiment. He's gong to run the exact same campaign but 1) as a man 2) without various Clinton scandals. We'll see if that works any better.https://twitter.com/daveweigel/status/1154436515549908992 …

    Biden’s consistent lead over Trump suggests that the basic HRC argument —Trump is terrible, let’s do a third Obama term — would have worked had Anthony Weiner not sexted his way into an investigation that ensnared his wife. (This was what led to the Comey letter.)

        HIllary Clinton had a base. Joe Biden does not. It's nowhere near the same thing.

        Trump is an incumbent. That comes with big advantages.

        Yeah I wonder how many of those advantages are tied up in "was really popular for at least part of their first term", though, since incumbents usually have been.

        You could put two homeless folks on the ticket, or two prostitutes, or Insane Clown Posse, and they'd be better than Trump. It's not so much an election as a repeat IQ test.

        Also Trump was largely a cipher in 2016, now he has an actual record.

        Maybe he’ll win by 5 million votes and still lose.

        They tried that in 2004. In the absence of scandals the other side will invent them. People even came up with a verb for that.
