The more I think about it, Biden could actually "reshape" the Democratic coalition (broadening it) yet again if he wanted to (and provided he were the nominee).  If he distanced himself from Obama (i.e., ran as the guy we saw in the '08 primaries), I actually think he could do fairly well with the ill-defined group, "Working Class Whites."  He comes off as authentic, and I bet he'd play up that "poorest member of the Senate" card rather well vs. an arrogant billionaire.

Biden gives more confidence in his emotional stability.

Indiana, Missouri, North Carolina, and Arizona are the only ones Biden can gain unless he crushes Trump by twenty points. Arkansas, Georgia, and such aren't flexible enough to be flipped.

Georgia has a good chance of being flipped. Obama lost Georgia to Romney by an 8 percent margin.

Given that the Hispanic population and turnout will likely be larger in 2016, Biden's support comes disproportionately from racial minorities, and Trump's favorability with Hispanics is roughly 75% negative, I could see Georgia tipping in favor of Biden over Trump.

If we nominated Trump twice, then sure. However, I don't think it's flexible enough. For all the bad stuff we give Trump, I think he would hold Georgia safe. Missouri, Indiana, and Arizona were won by much larger margins, but 2008 proved Georgia is far less flexible than even Montana.

Biden vs. Trump would make for some hilarious presidential debates. Neither would be able to shut up.
