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

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

Hasn't Biden run multiple times for President in the past, without becoming the nominee? It was primarily about Obama. Biden just wasn't seen as a "negative."

The 2008 race was over once Lehman fell. Period. Biden irrelevant. And McCain ran such a bad campaign, that by November, any doubts about Obama were secondary, "Why not, can't get worse."

I’m just spitballing, but what if you’re cheerleading Biden to help get Trump elected?

At least your hatred of the Democratic Party is pure. Other than that you’re as mercenary as any of your targets.

No way. Nobody was taking Biden into account when it was time to vote vs Romney and his running mate, who was it again? It’s main event, champion vs champion, with their friend in the corner.

Perhaps in the beginning, but no one was thinking about Biden after 2008.

Candidates running against Biden need to do whatever they can to disconnect Biden/Obama: Say Obama did not think Biden was up to it, Obama preferred Hillary, Obama will not endorse Biden. Then they need to point to Anita Hill, the touchy feely stuff & the Ukraine stuff (a start)
