Biden is a Democrat, to be sure, but not one of those progressives who wants to change things all at once. He's guided by a strong Irish Catholic faith but doesn't seem particularly inclined to impose his faith on others. He's compassionate. Biden definitely seems like the kind of guy who would offer to skip a speech to console a staffer after that staffer's father died suddenly. His wife's a doctor (of education) and a strong independent force in her own right. He's a family man who loves his children. If you are looking for a doppelganger for TV president Josiah Bartlet, you could do a lot worse than Joe Biden. That's not entirely a compliment. Bartlet, for all his positive qualities, is not real. He's a fantasy invented to tell stories and drive ratings. I for one (and I don't think I'm alone) have to remind myself that we don't need another TV show president. We need a real one.'>>> https://www.cnn.com/2019/06/15/opinions/joe-biden-jed-bartlet-elie-mystal/index.html?

Only DUmmies would take the fictional and try to apply it to reality.
If I could have a fictional president actually be in office in real life, I'd MUCH rather have James Marshall from 'Air Force One.'Trump seems more like a doppelganger for Marshall than Biden seems like a doppelganger for Bartlet.
Ted Kennedy is the only person with an actual confirmed kill in the war on women.
