Harris was the cipher of a vice president that every modern VP outside of Cheney has been. Even J.D. Couch****er is a big zero as far as that goes, no matter how loud he becomes or how many news cycles he hijacks. There is almost nothing in their vice presidency a candidate can point to and say that makes them qualified to be president, and Harris was no exception.

 Biden was the reason Obamacare got passed. Biden is the sole reason for Obama’s crowning achievement.

Granted.

Biden should have been President and Obama VP from 2008-2016.  Then Obama should have run in 2016.  Obama is very smart, but may not have been ready for the presidency.  Biden was unimpressive intellectually, but knew how to work with Congress.  Biden was too old and senile at the end and a more experienced Obama would have been a better choice at that time.

Biden should have ran in 2016 but Obama backstabbed him to clear the deck for Clinton.

FEIW, I don’t think Biden was clinically senile at the end.

Not clinically, but he was very much in decline from his peak.  I don't know how far he fell between the end of his presidency and that debate, but that debate was uncomfortably embarrassing.  Trump was embarrassing too but being embarrassing is his baseline and his followers don't care anyway.

Biden with only half a mind would still be better than Trump’s “genius” brains

[oblong]

He slowed down physically, and visually in terms of performance, but I am not convinced he couldn't do the job.  The mind is what matters and I wasn't there and I don't trust the media or staff members to give us an honest account.

But politically that stuff does matter and difficult conversations should have been had earlier.
