Although many commentators – and the Republican Party’s leadership – believe that Hillary Clinton will be the Democratic Party’s nominee, I’m not so sure. The ultimate proof? Look no further:
"Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. and his associates have begun to actively explore a possible presidential campaign, which would upend the Democratic field and deliver a direct threat to Hillary Rodham Clinton, several people who have spoken to Mr. Biden or his closest advisers say."
Biden and his buddies have started talking to Democratic leaders and donors because the latter are worried by Clinton’s “increasingly visible vulnerabilities as a candidate.” Biden was supposedly also influenced by the death of his son, Beau, who passionately wanted him to run. The vice-president wouldn’t even consider doing so, however, if he believed this one was Hillary’s for the taking.
And that’s not at all. Polling also shows that Bernie Sanders – the outspoken socialist – is making some headway. Crowds are swelling at his gatherings; not because he’s such an inspiring figure, but because there are a lot of Democrats who simply don’t want to support Hillary. Although Joe Biden is quite an extraordinary gaffe-machine, he’s to be taken much more seriously than Sanders. After all, in contrast to the senator from Vermont, Biden has connections, a strong organization and a power base.

She is toast!
Hillary has already jammed her bony finger into Biden’s chest, drawing blood as she hisses soft thunder into his face,
“Don’t even think about it, Joe.”
Richard Bloomenthal (Senator CT): His only claim to fame is ruining UConn college football.
Chris Murphy: (Senator-CT): His claim to fame? Breathing...
Danell Malloy: (Governor -CT) His claim to fame? Raising taxes and driving businesses out of CT
Rosa DeLauro (Rep - CT 3): Her claim to fame: Making Hillary look like a beauty queen...
John Larson (Rep -CT 1) His claim to fame? Speaking with a forked tongue...
I’ll take an affable buffoon over someone intent on destroying America any day of the week. Then the Rats will be hard pressed not to run him for re-election. Any candidate short of McLame or Romney could make mincemeat of him.
She’s also a criminal.
Oh yeah he will be a hot item in Delaware.....
The rest of the country will not give a dam and laugh at Biden.
Does SlowJoe make the D nomination contest more of a race, or just splinter the anti-Hillary vote?
I think the Donks are calculating the damage that Hill and Joe might do to the rest of the ticket and Joe does less damage, I think. She’ll pull her name before the end of 2015. They are thinking survival and losing even more of the Senate if she stays in.
If you really believe that, you can get rich.
She's the overwhelming favorite on the Euro betting sites for both the nom and the Nov.
Joe would likely be led off to the funny house with the grin firmly attached, drool running down his chin, and in need of diapers...
Seems to me we’ve seen this movie before. The cast:
LBJ.... played by Hillary Clinton.
Eugene McCarthy.... Sen. Bernie Sanders.
Bobby Kennedy.... V.P. Joe Biden
Not sure who the Media will cast as Richard Nixon, but I’m fairly confident that they’ll wait until the GOP nominates somebody and he or she will be given the part.
I’m an old country boy with a pea brain. I remember LBJ declaring he won’t run again, and Bobby K getting shot while I was in Basic training in 1968... I know Nixon got elected in 68 and 72. What year are you talking about?
I supported Hillary (I must have been brain dead) in 2008—She isn’t the same this time. No fire in the belly—no fight left in her. Its like she is just going though the motions this time. I think she will drop out “for reasons of health” before the primary. But, do you wanat Biden in? Warren? Sanders? Kerry? NOPE this time I am for Trump.
Run Joe run.
Need to place my bet before the Euros wise up.
