He's an abysmal leader with a horrendous record and significant cognitive decline. If he somehow defies the odds and knocks off an incumbent, he's going to be the Democratic version of W. Bush -- wholly controlled by special interests essentially out there just reading a script given to him by technocrats. It will be interesting to see who he features in his cabinet - but Joe Biden is from the same old Pelosi/Schumer school of Democratic politics. Expect a watered-down version of the Obama years - with less aspiration and steady leadership from the top. At least Obama had vision and courage in a few areas --- Joe is just gonna be out there winging it.

But I actually think there's a fair chance that he doesn't even get nominated. The nominee (per party rules) can be replaced in the event of serious health issues or incompetence. I'm not sure Biden can take this thing across the end-zone.
