Someone mentioned to me they believe the real reason that Biden has waited so long to run is simply to keep people talking about him. It's working. And at the moment he even overshadows Trump in the MSM.
So was this really a brilliant campaign move? Because would we really be talking about Biden had he entered race 6 months ago?
He gets all this free media exposure and it certainly doesn't look good for King Hillary that she is having to keep responding about Biden.
Biden ran twice before, and was the first to drop out of the democratic primaries both times. The first was due to plagiarism; the second because he couldn't get any traction (or donors). His biography speaks to a guy who is a back-slapping, glad-handing politico, not a determined competitor. And at 72, his time was over.
And then there are the gaffes. ("I was on the wrong side of every foreign policy decision Barak Obama made...")
If Hillary crashes and burns - or is indicted - the democrats will have nobody to send in. Bernie will fall to whatever republican wins the primaries. That is the problem with the democratic bench... it's empty.
I think the Democrats weren't getting the kind of media attention the Republicans were getting and threw Biden in there just to get people to talk about the Democrats and gin up some excitement in their boring race. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if they told Hillary that's what they were up to because she didn't seem at all worried.
Boy, conspiracy theorists are a dime a dozen. As if it matters at all.
Look, Biden's clout or potential was and is way overestimated. He's got little room to manuever away from Obama's policies when convenient, it was late to get donors and key people set up, and he hasn't done well in past primaries.
