one reason i think Biden would have won is because as a white man he would have been able to get away with things that HIllary would not. he would have been able to be as nasty as he wanted to trump .
Hillary got shit for using the term deplorable to describe the bigoted shits supporting trump.
can you imagine if HIllary had behaved the way trump did during the debate and other parts of the campaign ?
and i will also point out the difference in treatment of Palin and Trump. Palin deserved the criticism and being ridiculed for all the stupid things she said. but so did Trump. yet while the media and others were ok with treating palin this way they held back on doing it with Trump. and Trump IS a bigger fool than Palin was .
