Episode notes
Biden's belief that he could have won the 2016 election highlights a significant miscalculation by Obama regarding the political landscape. The conclusion drawn from Hillary Clinton's defeat suggests a misunderstanding of voter sentiment, interpreting her loss as a direct repudiation of Obama rather than a reflection of her own candidacy. This viewpoint mistakenly positions Obama as a candidate in 2016, inadvertently merging his identity with Clinton's electoral shortcomings, while the critiques aimed at Obama often resemble accusations of Trump defeating him directly.
