It would have been a smart move for [Biden] to get into the race.

There was a reason Obama was at his "I'm not running" announcement, and why it was in the Rose Garden. It was to make sure he really truly would say that he wasn't running. Biden's future is in the hands of Obama's handlers: if they can get Hillary out of the race, he'll be allowed in, unless they decide someone else has a better chance of keeping the WH under leftist control.

I’m in NO MOOD for more bloody socialists! We have a full year to go with the narcissistic little prick we’re stuck with now. We can’t survive four more years or possibly longer with some f’ing Commie bastard masquerading as a Democrat giving away the store and delivering what’s left of this nation on a leash to an envious world. Shoot this old bastard or throw his ass in a hole somewhere. Enough is enough!!

he'll be playing catchup viz primary deadlines and having to pry loose her superdelegates.

When has technicalities ever gotten in the way of the Marxist Obama Machine (MOM)? If MOM wants it, it will be done.

There is some dirty laundry about Bernie that hasn’t got much coverage. Seems Bernie’s wife operating as college president set up some sweet heart deals for her family. Bernie and his family is just as greedy as any capitalist. I wonder how Trump will exploit this.

Bernie is the Left’s Trump: the establishment hates him, but he’ll be their nominee.

A Bernie/Trump matchup would be a dream come true. Not only would we win the presidential race, Trump would lead a tsunami wave election that sends all blue collar democrats into the red zone. We would pick up significant wins all the way from state legislatures to the Senate. Democrats would be left as a regional socialist party on the coasts plus Chicago and Minnesota.

Given that Hillary might be in prison by the time the election rolls around, Bernie might be right.

He could win
FREE STUFF



The core of the Democratic party, the blue collar, union workers, only want 'free stuff' for themselves. If they honestly believe that he will be diverting THEIR free stuff money, to others, he will lose their supply.

I really don't think that moderate Democrats will support an idealistic socialist. They will support him if they think he's only saying it to get elected (like Clinton), but if they actually believe him, they won't, because that would be giving up money that they feel entitled to.

That’ll leave a bad taste in his mouth rest of the day.

I personally would find an honest patriotic socialist / communist to be preferable to a dishonest turncoat sell-out crony capitalist GoPe candidate.

If Hillary goes to jail, Bernie will be more electable.

Seem like this could be a good opportunity to say that Democrats are prejudiced against women. The Democrats are a good ole boys club that just want men! Where is NOW and all the fems? THIS is the real war on women right before our very eyes ladies and gentlemen!

(Ok, Rush, here’s your show prep for tomorrow.)

“Joe Biden will be stepping up real soon.”

I think they will recruit him. Doesn’t need much money to campaign and he can always make Hillary his VP choice.
