there are those seeking to depose those in power. They had various names ... Old Pretender, Young Pretender, Shadow Presidency.

I would suggest Joe Biden is the Shadow Conscience of America for all that is wrong with the Trump Administration, and that is why people are listening to him. He has credibility, a long history of service and experience, sound political skills. He's just plain copper bottom.
