Yes, Joe would already know something about the various power bases in a state, the conditions and locations of bridges, labor laws, distribution of its hospitals, why cap and trade is failing there, and how they're all somehow interrelated. And a thousand others. States are incredibly complex and incredibly powerful, and we have 50 of those without even considering their interactions, the rest of America, or foreign policy, also unbelievably complex and dangerously fluid.
And procedures and institutions. Our best candidates have experience, of course, but it occurs to me that some others without experience really wouldn't have that basic understanding of how things are supposed to work. You hear some relative newbies spouting the usual decades-old Kool-Aid about how awful government is. How would they know what was right and good both in principle and why it worked best those ways?
Sanders wouldn't either; in spite of his years in DC, he's somehow never seen the kind of people we did at the Ukraine hearings. He's long known Democrats are corrupt because they refuse to change their minds when he explains how wrong they are, and we know Republicans really are. He'd believe he personally needed to practically invent ethics in government from scratch. And wouldn't that be something (not) to see.
Reality is, no currently viable candidates can match VP Biden for sheer expertise on a wide range of current issues. And a lot of people around the states who know it are going to want it.
