Joe Biden wouldn't have been the first woman President of the United States. I don't believe he would have gotten as much attention. In fact the election could have been far worse had he run.

Yes.


1. The email scandal clearly hurt Hillary. Joe didn't have any such albatross around his neck.


2. Joe had a lot of support among white, Midwestern blue-collar types, the ones that deserted Clinton to vote for Trump.


3. I thought Joe was too old, but Trump is not much younger.

Hillary won, Russia hacked the ballot boxes for a Trump win. Poor whites don't VOTE!

Bernie was the best candidate for the Democrats. He would have gotten some votes Trump got, more importantly Millennials would have turned out in droves. There was no Trump surge, he got less votes than McCain or Romney. Hillary got millions less votes than Obama.


Biden would have done no better than Hillary. He doesn't solve Millennial and minority turnout problems.

No. Replacing Hillary with Biden would still result in a landslide for Trump. Biden and Hillary are cut from the same cloth.....They both are arrogant liars; both think they're too good to fail; both think the world revolves around them; both are embarrassments to their party.

No he wouldn't have. He never had the minority vote. He only won in white states.

I am a Trump fan, delighted he won, but at the very least, JB would have won either Michigan or Wisconsin, but the only way they would have nominated him in 2016 is if he changed genders.


They wanted a first, as opposed to wanting the best candidate.
