Both of them appealed strongly to blue collar workers because these positions on trade, Sanders would have won hands down against Trump if not for the rigged primaries.
IIRC, Biden has a similar mindset, and definitely can speak to Trump’s base in a way that Clinton (“deplorables”...) could not. Of the dem contenders so far, he’s the best chance of winning in 2020 imo.
