Not only were the circumstances tremendously different in relation to the candidates’ backgrounds, but something tells me it was a lot harder to get that video onto Instagram, YouTube and Facebook.

How about “Kennedy Snubs Carter On Live TV” in 1980, or “Riot Breaks Out” in 1968.

You don’t need to create a public health crisis to run a freaking video. Joe Biden was VP for eight years. Plenty of people got a look at him.

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