Inside sources within the White House have said that Obama would back VP Biden if he were to run for President...claiming it would be like his 3rd term as president, if Biden were to run. Biden would carry out Obama's agenda, where as Hillary will not. Obama doesn't care for the Clinton's and would not politic hard for Hillary if she were the nominee. Obama will do what he can to make sure she doesn't get the nomination.
Your opinion seems correct...the Democrats really don't have much to be exited about...Hillary and Biden don't exactly scream get out and vote...and Bernie is a socialist, the GOP voters would come out in droves to make sure he never gets elected. Only a Trump 3rd party candidacy would split the GOP vote giving Hillary or Biden the election.

During the same point in time in their given elections, Bachmann and Giuliani had higher numbers, I think Giuliani was almost at 40%.
Hillary's campaign is in crisis mode, they are already putting out paid ads on air, her numbers are still falling and no one is excited about her. Biden is a joke. I love the guy, he would be one my first choices to sit back and drink a few beers with but he is a gaffe machine, if you think they have Hillary in bubble wrap, wait till you see Joe.

It common knowledge that Obama does not like the Clinton's. The email server story was probably leaked from the administration. Obama knows Hillary will not run as a 3rd Obama term, that is not who she is, we all know that. She would be willing to put Obamacare on the chopping block to get parts of her agenda passed and Obama knows it. I don't think she would sign a repeal but she might sign a repeal with a replace set to go in the next 4-6 years.

PP does not need a 1/2 billion, Jeb is correct. We spend billions on other centers specializing in women's health. We can redirect that 1/2 billion to those clinics. There are enough combined Liberals out there that can round up a 1/2 billion a year in private donations to keep the abortion machine cranking out baby parts.
Every Dem that votes to keep funding it is going to have an ad of them supporting those videos.

Rick Perry, Carly Fiorina, Jim Gilmore, and Jindall are on fire. 
I didn't know Lindsay Graham was a henny.  But he went IN on Hillary. Slay, queen
The rest are fumbling air-heads tbh.
I don't support these people I'm just watching the debate as entertainment
UPDATE: Not these politicians promising a FLAT TAX. 10%,15%,20%. The false promises.
Not them all promising to send troops to Syria and destroying ISIS.
After the commercial its on to Planned Parenthood. Let me grab a drink. This is the part that will get me bothered.

OMG On the topic of abortion they don't give the one woman on the panel a chance to answer. 
This just made me so sad to see that there are people so actively and vehemently willing to lead a crusade against Planned Parenthood. 
And its just suspicious that these hidden camera videos just happened to pop up before the election season got rolling.
UPDATE: YASS, They dragged hillary. Rick Santorum is so cute.
That was a cute debate. Tonight will be even messier I hope.

I know this isn't gonna happen for another year but let's start talking VP picks
I was randomly looking at our current senators yesterday and I think Cory Booker would make a really great pick for HRC's ticket. He's relatively young, black (let's face it, it's a factor) fresh to the senate but not unknown, he has some clout and he backs her. So out of curiosity I searched "Clinton Booker" on twitter and it seems like I'm not the only one that likes this idea.

Idea: Hillary wins the nomination. She then selects Cory Booker as her running mate. Clinton-Booker? Too northern? How about Clinton-Castro?
@Lovetanq 5h5 hours ago
@PartesanJournal Nah, Biden will give no spark. Perhaps, Cory Booker as VP to Clinton would get the people to the polls.
@JimmyJ2605 14h14 hours ago
Seems that a Clinton /Booker 2016 ticket a giant step forward for all living things. #vegan #dream-ticket @HillaryClinton @CoryBooker
@WithoutaTRACE Aug 3
Trace Vickrey retweeted Cory Booker
@CoryBooker I think you would make a Good VP CLINTON/BOOKER 2016
#HillaryClinton
@twmscott Jul 25
The couple's idea of a perfect ticket is Hillary Clinton and Corey Booker.
@jzahuta90 Jul 11
Calling it now: Hillary Clinton chooses Corey Booker for Vice President
@frodofied Jul 2
Robert Sandy retweeted David Samples
I hope not, because neither have a snowball's chance in hell. Clinton/Booker 2016 @HillaryClinton @CoryBooker
@GregoryGAllen Jun 29
@CoryBooker @HillaryClinton I could see a Clinton/Booker ticket in 2016. That has a nice ring to it!

Apparently, Joaquin Castro is a top pick for Hillary. He was DNC keynote speaker in 2012, is young, and has Latino appeal so it would make sense.

Yeah. His, along with Booker, Tim Kaine and Kirsten Gillibrand are the names I've seen thrown around for her the most.
KG is the least likely IMO because let's be real, a two-women ticket isn't gonna fly.
While he'd be good for the latino vote, I don't really see Castro energizing the base. The person I see doing that is Booker.

That would be dumb on her part to pick a VP based solely on appeal, and not someone with experience to take her place. That's one of the reasons Palin became an awful choice for McCain.

Anyway, I can't wait for some new polls to come out. Carly Fiorina ROCKED the kids table. She was the clear standout.
And I don't know how wise it is for Fox to be kicking the Anti-Trump narrative into motion. I think it'll be worse for them than him.
