I'm going to take a different position from the posters above.  I don't think Biden was uniquely suited to win in 2016.  I wasn't as invested in politics at the time, but in 2012 or so Biden was a nobody and I think it was only the trend of memes where he was made out to be Obama's friend that catapulted him to the top.  Who knows what relationship Obama would have had with any of these other three people.  If Obama has a successful term in this world, couldn't he make Evan Bayh (or someone else) his successor like Biden was in our world?
