I wonder how much the world changes if Beau Biden doesn't die when he did.

Hmm... I'm not sure who wins in a Biden vs. Hillary primary, but with Biden taking most of the anti-Hillary votes Sanders is probably a complete nonfactor. That'd be a big setback for progressive ideas in general due to not getting mainstream exposure. Assuming Biden does win the nomination, I don't think he's a 100% lock to beat Trump. Obviously Biden wouldn't have to do that much better than Hillary did, but it's not like Biden was all that popular on his own anyway. Even if Biden did win, the GOP would probably still keep Congress and block his agenda (which would be much less ambitious than that of 2020 Biden anyway). This would continue for 4 years, at which point the GOP would nominate not-Trump for president and win easily.

...So overall a little better? The Supreme Court might be better off if the GOP chose to let a Biden nominee replace Scalia, but I doubt that happens. At least we probably get to avoid the incompetence of the Trump administration, but the GOP would be in a much more powerful position now.
