Look - HRC and the DNC scammed their way to beat Bernie. Biden, I don't think, would have been given that luxury.

You lose the whole "first woman president" aurora.

Bernie's people had more energy.

And like a poster said above... he gets a little crazy at times...

Very poorly. That is often said by a narcissist, we have all heard it "Well, I could have won if I tried.", sure you could. Me too!

No, I don't think so. McFeelThemUp Biden was outed for his behavior toward both women and girls. It was obvious that he felt "entitled" to grope, right there in front of God and everyone! He just gives me the creeps. He needed a knee right where it would get his attention.

But, who wouldn't have been better than Clinton? I'll give you a couple of days to work on your answer.

Joe would have had the same problem as Hillary did ..... do you folks want 4 more years of BO? That's what you'll get if you elect Joe.

Biden would have been Obama the 2nd. When over 70% of Americans feel the country is going in the wrong direction, it's hard to imagine someone on the same track as Obama would have won. People wanted change - hence Bernie's and Trump's popularity.

Biden didn't run because he was dealing with death of one son and some personal issues of the other. I respect that he put family ahead.

I think he would have done infinitely better than Clinton among working class whites and slightly better among African Americans. Both of those groups would have swayed Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan. I suspect he also would have done better among millennials than HRC. And neither he nor his spouse have a 40 year history of scandals and drama.


Much of life is about timing and he simply was not in a spot to start a campaign 2 years ago.

We'll never know for sure, we can only speculate.

Better yet' it's even more widely know that Rakin would have one if he had ran. That's a fact.

That's awesome. Yes, with 52% of the Us being women I'm sure I could have carried most states. NOt sure I could fulfill all their wishes though.
