Biden being good or bad candidate can be determined by how many Dems stayed home or voted Trump.

He had a good turnout, better than Obama. But how many of those were Republican never Trumpers?

Hard to tell, but Biden did pretty good either way. Would be hard to call him the worst. Or bad for that matter. And give Trump credit. He mobilized his supporters too. But Biden still beat him.

He won, that's good. Now how does he govern with Turtle still in charge. Would Mayor Pete or Bernie get better help from Mitch? A gay guy or a socialist? How about Yang, would Mitch work with an asian? Those guys are such opposites of what Republicans believe in. Mitch would feel obligated to shut them out. Biden on the other hand, a centrist Democrat, old and white. Checks all boxed except party affiliation.

Time will tell.
