(CNN) Joe Biden leads the Democratic race for president, despite a series of headlines that might have done in candidates in years past. Perhaps it's the fact that we have a President who was elected despite a huge raft of controversies over his past. For his part, Biden recently reversed a position he held for decades, on perhaps the most divisive issue in politics. While Biden got "major side-eye" from the other Democratic candidates, so far it hasn't hurt him. Ironically, it is President Trump's own flip-flopping that may have helped make it possible for Biden to backtrack without necessarily suffering the consequences at the polls.
