This might be the most valuable metric I’ve seen to assess Biden’s image in the eyes of the right. He simply does not scare/antagonize conservatives the way other Dems do.

Very interesting catch from @daveweigel By this point in 2012, the conservative publisher Regnery was selling

13 books about Obama;

in 2016, it was selling 12 about Clinton.

This year: Regnery only has 1 on Biden

in different circles since Monday. Biden is a comfortable choiice for most others.

A dear frined with whom I discuss bare bones politics called today and we had a long talk about current events. Being an independent they admitted that they were all in for Biden and not as a loyalty but out of self preservation.
