Well two problems:
Biden sounds like your grandpa that can't remember what year we are currently in, placing him in charge would be tantamount to elder abuse.

Trump sounds and talks like a lot of Americans, and that (despite all of his faults, and there are many) is what connects him to a large portion of the population, so when the Left/Dems/Media just repeatedly call him stupid, ignorant, and dare I say it, deplorable, well a large portion of America feels that is actually a slight directed to them personally. This has allowed Trump to connect with Americans/supporters in ways the Republicans haven't in quite some time .

In the past, when the Media/Dems/Leftists called Romney, or Bush racists, dolts, war criminals and, evil minded people, the average public didn't identify with them as they were basically elitists who happened to disagree with Democrats. Many more people relate to the way Trump talks, expresses himself in an unconventional way, doesn't "play by the media's rules". Older Repubs would cowtow immediately to any accusation by the media, not so in the present administration.

While the Left/Dems have enjoyed a near takeover of all mainstream media sources, I'm not sure in the end this will be to their benefit as much of it leaves a very bitter taste in many American's psyche.

Not to fret for the Leftists though as they have continually moved the goal posts to the point where over the last few decades, even the republicans are pushing/agreeing to things that decades ago would have been considered wildly out of bounds by the federal government.
Who would've thought in 2016 that we'd elect a "Republican" president, house for two years, and Senate for the next 4 yrs and, despite would could be described as one of the best economic times in the previous 50 yrs, would STILL be running a deficit of over $1Trillion PER YEAR!
