        Not analogous. Bien polls fifteen points higher then Jeb, who was tied with Walker at approx 15% this time in 2015. Jeb's "frontrunner" status came from his name and fundraising. Biden's comes from name ID, but also claim on Obama's legacy and perception of electability.

        Pros of this theory: *In the wrong party this year. *Avatar of the party powerful. Mixed: *Hated by the base who will determine the election(?) - See "In the wrong party" Cons: *Jeb had better memespic.twitter.com/ka3KSkMM3K

        The subtle issue of course is that if the base actually likes him... /Would this make Bernie into Trump?

        This middle lane strategy only works if he doesn’t run away from being a moderate in the 70s, 80s, 90s, etc.

        Couple of key differences: -Dems will be way more focus on "who can beat Trump". There was no defined candidate last time which I think hurt Bush -He doesn't have a clown show former President for a brother

        Wait, what? "Beat Hillary" was the mantra. I don't think many Republicans ever thought Bernie or O'Malley would be the nominee.
