Republican National Committee (RNC) chairman Reince Preibus says Vice President Joe Biden’s decision not to enter the presidential fray is good for the party, because Republicans have a better chance of beating Hillary Clinton.
“The Vice President’s decision not to enter the 2016 race is a major blow for Democrats, who now will almost certainly be saddled with their unpopular and scandal plagued front-runner Hillary Clinton,” Preibus said in a statement first provided to Breitbart News.
“Vice President Biden was the most formidable general election candidate the Democrat Party could have fielded, and his decision not to challenge Hillary Clinton greatly improves our chances of taking back the White House. With each revelation about her growing email scandal or conflicts of interest at her State Department, Hillary Clinton is getting more beatable by the day,” Preibus said.
Republicans are happy about Biden’s decision. The vice president announced Wednesday that he will not pursue the presidency, noting that he is too late at this point to take the necessary steps to mount a proper challenge.
America Rising chairman Matt Rhoades said that the prospect of Biden’s running was a blow to Clinton.
“When Secretary Clinton launched her campaign in April, the idea of anyone emerging as a serious challenger to her was unthinkable,” Rhoades said. “After more than six months of never-ending scandals and negative headlines, even the idea of Vice President Biden’s potential candidacy said more about Secretary Clinton than it did about Biden. America Rising will continue to hold Clinton accountable for her failed record and lack of vision for the future of our country.”

Why would Prebut say anything? What a Maroon.
>>I agree with the RNC. But I’m concerned the Dems will commit massive voter fraud.
They’re going to have to track down the names on cremation urns.
I was hoping that Biden would get in the race so that he’d divide the Democrats socialists.
Hillary and Biden running against each other would ensure the nomination of Sanders. This means Hillary will not be indicted, and Sanders will be scuttled by any means necessary.
Depends on who our nominee is...
I have a weird feeling that Biden is still in. Is it possible? If he didn’t want the mud-slinging between him and Hillary, could he wait for an indictment and at the convention be ‘nominated’? I don’t know how late you can get in.
... continue to hold Clinton accountable for her failed record and lack of vision for the future of our country.”

‘failed record’ ... ‘lack of vision for the future of our country’??? With vanilla, marshmallow puff, weak & timid phrases like these, Hilly, the Butcher of Benghazi and the Queen of Corruption will be sitting in the WH & cackling her head off.
this is kind of disappointing actually. This means Hillary won’t be indicted.
Interesting.
But the problem is that the Dims are known for going for Soviet style socialist candidates. They picked Obama over Hillary in 2008; it’s possible that they pick Sanders this time.
RNC: “We have a better shot at Hillary Clinton... being elected, rather than Donald Trump!”
Hopefully with Hillary in front of the Benghazi Committee tomorrow, we will have more ammo to use against her.
That being said, I will not be holding my breath.
It is my understanding that she will be there for as long as it takes......I hope they keep her late and tire her out so that she makes mistakes.
Whaddya mean "WE," RINO?
I'm sure it'll be a lot better for "Us" when the GOPe starts buying adds attacking Trump once it looks like he's going to win the nomination (or the general).
Yep, Obama IS RUNNING in 2016
Not you, RNC. You guys fumble the ball every time. But Trump certainly will have her in his sights and won’t miss.
Why not? The are the American Communist Party.
We'd sooner see Obama as a Tea Party Conservative than an indictment for Hillary. That was never going to happen.
Isn’t this the same guy that sold us McCain and Romney?
AFAIK that CAN happen. In fact I think it is very likely.
