I would have loved to have her just say what we all know but that for some reason all presidential moderators and interviewers seem to forget... the VP does not make the decisions in the White House!!!
In fact, this would have been yet more bait for her to use against Trump... "So, you are saying, that all the good that came from your presidency should be credited to Mike Pence? How important was he to your success?"
She then can pivot to claiming whatever parts of the Biden presidency she wants to claim... "What being Vice President does is that it gets you in the room. It gives you a front row seat to the issues that face everyday Americans. While I might not have agreed with *every* decision Biden made, yes, I *would* have made the same decisions in many areas... infrastructure .. negotiated medicare prices .. CHIPS act .. gun control .. blah blah blah" (pick and choose). Then if they ask you in what way you differ, you pick *one* area and throw Biden under the bus for that (my pick would be Afghanistan)
Basically, take blame or credit. Yes, you don't get the credit for the good things that happened, but you can show that you would have done the same thing. And this lets you run as far away from the bad stuff as you want.
