I really don't see it for Biden. People may like him, but liberals still love Hilary and Biden is just not going to reach Hilary, Obama or even Sanders love levels. Plus lots of state delegates are already in the tank for Hilary. The only way I see Biden beating her is if the email scandal becomes too much and Dems just choose not to risk it.
Israel's been a near-untouchable topic for close to a century now. You and I both know that.
The staff says that particular employee's been removed from the staff as it wasn't the belief/message of Bernie, which...I don't buy, but that's a whole other conversation.
Biden would beat Hillary so so badly. If he runs (which he is) he's gonna win. Everyone loves him and Obama's gonna back him.
HC is spoiled milk anyway. And poor Sanders.
What are you smoking? Biden even has a lesser chance than Bernie when it comes to the general election.
Even the anecdotes about Biden's political calculations have portrayed him as a conflicted, grieving father. On August 1, New York Times op-ed columnist Maureen Dowd narrated a heart-wrenching private moment that occurred among the Biden family. Dowd wrote that the vice president's dying son Beau, his face "partially paralyzed," sat down with his "anguished" father and urged him to run for president — "arguing that the White House should not revert to the Clintons and that the country would be better off with Biden values."
Dowd's column was extremely vague about how she got this information, but it kick-started the buzz that Biden might really be serious about a 2016 campaign, which is still going strong this week.
How else would Dowd obtain an intimate conversation between Joe Biden and his DEAD son beside Joe Biden himself? The only logical explanation is that Joe told her the conversation they had. The fact that the word LEAKED is used, is so cringe-worthy and transparent, to make it appear that he is exploiting his SON'S death for some cheap political leverage.

Sweetie, I'm only using the term 'leaked' because that's what the headlines are using.
And I'd imagine they're using it because the article was painted as info from an anonymous source.

It appears that he is using his son's death as 1) a reason to run 2) a reason to "contemplate" running which are both politically advantageous. Especially when the leaked story of Beau's last words included shots against the Clintons.

Again. Who would the anonymous source be if an intimate conversation took place between Biden and his DEAD son? Anyone who speculated that the quote came from an "anonymous" source is a dumb-ass.

A relative who was in the room? An assistant he told the story to?

Well, that's literally what the entire media was running with

Most people assumed it came from his inner group of supporters (maybe another family member, a close aide, a long time Biden staffer, etc.) I didn't think that Biden would be so low to contact the media directly after his son's death to win political points.

Quote:
Even if the veep wasn’t the one who spoke directly to Dowd, it was already apparent that, at the very least, Biden had given his implicit blessing to whomever did do the talking. The revelation that Beau had urged his father to make another White House bid was more than a month old at that point. In late June, the Wall Street Journal, citing its own unnamed sources, reported that before his death, “Beau Biden encouraged his father to get into the race.” That didn’t quite have the emotional punch of Dowd’s intimate description—“Beau was losing his nouns and the right side of his face was partially paralyzed”—but Beau’s quasi-deathbed wish was clearly something Biden’s camp wasn’t eager to keep a secret.
I honestly don't think Biden could even move past the primaries. No one takes him seriously; these past seven years he's become a meme on social media.
