If he pushed for immigration reform and  making tax cuts Middle class permanent, the 2010 wave by Boehner may not have happened. This would of had to be done with elimination of filibuster,  the GOP was not going to give them this issue

Named Sotomayor and a black or another Latino as SCOTUS, Wood was the logical pick, to replace Souter.

Made changes to the tax code before the 2010 GOP takeover of the House.

Hopefully,  Biden picks a Latino to replace Ginsberg

Everything Biden wants to is what Obama was blocked. Campaign Finance Reform is the number 1 problem to dispose of. 2 student loan forgiveness for undergraduate students. College should be affordable

Obviously,  comprehensive immigration reform that Hilary would of done, he stated this on Oprah. It would of headed off the GOP from taking over the Senate in 2014; thus, Merrick Garland would have been appointed.  UDALL, LANDRIEU would have won and Pryor

Obama did as much as he could, except for the Garland nomination. Obama was so confident that Hilary was gonna win, he didnt bother doing a recess appointment. A recess appointment would of forced McConnell's hand. If the situation was reversed, then Trump or Bush W would have recessed Alito

A recess appointment of Gardner would have helped Hilary and Garland could of immediately overturned Citizens United and it would of been tougher for Trump and McConnell to talk about repeal gun control and campaign finance reform
