(7,420 posts)Biden was vp. He got re-elected in 2012 but the party did not recover.
He Wrote and voted for the Crime bill that the far left used to vilify H Clinton (when she did not even hold elective office).
He is a reliable supporter of big banks and the credit card industry-and let interest rates rise to serious rates on credit card -plunging many into bankruptcy for trying to pay off medical bills.
Biden will be decimated by Russian interference-which has not yet been successfully combated.
He issued no warnings to us voters in 2016 about Russian interference.
I don't recall his doing much about the Rust Belt during his decades in office.
(The rust belt rusted a long time ago. Michael Moore detailed the downfall of Flint, Michigan in the 1980s. The runaway shop and globalization actually started two decades earlier when the New England industries fled the higher-wage and higher taxed north to the American south to take advantage of the low wage, low tax, anti-worker territory and thence onward to Mexico).
Lots of union members got early retirements when the various companies absconded. In fact that entire early generation is now mostly dead. Another contingent comprised "Democrats of Reagan."
Biden is a non-starter-and I have't even got into his performance regarding Anita Hill
