Journalists keep tweeting old clips of Biden that are supposed to be damning. And while some are relevant, I just don't think they'll be that politically useful. Obama picked Biden and washed all his past "sins" away. To challenge him, you have to challenge the Obama/Biden legacy

I'm hearing stuff like, "the people voted for Obama, not Biden." That's just not true on multiple levels. For one, the people elected Biden twice as VP. He was on the ballot. More abstractly, a non-trivial amount of Obama's appeal with the electorate can be attributed to Biden

By historical standards, Biden was also a uniquely active and visible VP. He was party to many of Obama's major decisions. He became a pop culture "icon" in his own right. Which is all just to say: Biden is popular because of Obama. That's why the old clips won't really resonate

This is why Obama picked Biden and this is why Biden will pick a minority and this is why Trump will win a 2nd term.

Biden is personally likeable. That made him effective as VP. But as a Presidential candidate, he has always imploded due to gaffes, plagiarism, etc. You can add his handsiness to that list this time around. Corruption too. Berisma, anyone? Most of all: Dems don’t want him.

Biden's base is older people who aren't on Twitter and still watch the 7pm nightly news on the Big 3 networks religiously. They not only wont see the clips, they probably would have agreed with him at the time, if not now.

That’s curious. I would have though he had low name recognition. He was hardly a national figure and prior national campaigns of his never went anywhere.

Both sides r gonna underestimate a Post Trump/Green New Deal call to “normalcy” Milquetoast might win hearts while those who don’t see representation will sit this one out. Oh, & there will be domestic election shenagins from both Parties. The “stolen” narrative is uncorked
