    and the fact that Biden likely won't be able to steal votes from Trump's base, as Sanders probably would. No data to back this up, just a hunch.

    What are you seeing here? I'm seeing record low approval ratings.

    He took a good deal of Sanders voters last time too.

    Unchanged record low approval ratings.

    Yeah probably, but I would think there's more mobility between Trump and Bernie camps than Trump and Biden camps. Trump and Bernie both represent change, Biden does not.

    Ah yes.

    I see that to suggest he'll get the same votes he did last time (probably + some).

    My question is how close to Obama's 2012 numbers will Biden get? Trump didn't beat those numbers in key states; instead he won by depressing Hillary's turnout so much. They were both very unpopular.

    That's Michael Avenatti levels unlikely but Biden has already hinted that on the off-chance he wins the election he'll expect his VP to take over.
    I've heard "replace at the convention" talk, but I'm not sure how that would go over... what about Sanders? Can they just put up another candidate? Why even have a primary then?

    But is it the smartest move? Maybe not. Trump wouldn't do that. He'd make sure he's the biggest item in the news and he'd bruise up his opponent constantly.
    Oh it definitely was the smartest move. This is from 20 minutes worth of interviews today:
