He's had a long career in the spotlight. I'm not faulting people for making the mistake. If anything I've wondered if the distance between the first and the last time wasn't what confused people.

I will say neither primary cycle he ran in was similar and neither previous one was like this current one.. He's in a somewhat unique position of running three very different races for the nomination.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
