Could anyone Dem. nominee do better than Biden?

Absolutely

The only ones that I can think of are maybe Sherrod Brown and Russ Feingold had he won his 2016 Senate race.

That "working class regular guy" persona that Biden personifies was likely always the best archetype to run against Trump, and Brown and Feingold are cut from a similar mold.

Kander could've been interesting had he won his Senate race, but I feel like his relative inexperience could've been a problem. Obviously Obama had been a Senator the same amount of time as Kander would have been in this scenario, but I think there was a desire post-Trump to have a seasoned hand.

No.

Of course. An election against an incumbent during a time with the economy in the gutter, and with hundreds of thousands of people dead (so horrible fundamentals), and against an incumbent with many of their own issues and scandals that would matter regardless of what the fundamentals were should not have been a close election. Biden did horribly all things considered.

Sherrod Brown or John Tester. Maybe Tim Ryan.

I think that a Brown-Castro ticket could have come close to the elusive 413-125 map.

Bernie Sanders. People actually supported him because they liked him, not just because he wasn't Trump.

Just because he gets 300k likes on Twitter does not mean he could win a general election. He barely got a majority in his own home state during the primary.
