Yes, Hillary kicked him to the curb. Biden didn't want to end up on the Clinton Body Count list.

I believe he was told this (Hillary's turn.) Also wonder if it will come back to haunt him if he runs in 2020 .... Barack Obama wouldn't endorse you in 2016. He preferred "the worst candidate ever." Although at the time she was "the most qualified candidate to ever run."

He already said he isn't endorsing Biden this time either, in a roundabout way by saying 'we need new blood'.

Indeed. It's becoming pretty clear that Obama wants Beta. to take it on. Biden didn't stand a chance in 2016. The Clintons controlled the money and party apparatus. Even Obama couldn't have changed that nomination.

IMO, Biden is done as a national politician. He will go down as a footnote in the history books. He'll join Dan Quayle and Alben Barkley as one of the least known VPs in modern American history.

Can’t they find someone much younger?

Our Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is almost half Biden’s age,
need new blood.

Barack was only 47 when he was elected...JFK only 43.
Even good old Bill Clinton was just 46.

Trump is getting a second term. The Democrats have no effing idea what they're doing. Enjoy your elite positions while you still have them, dems. This gravy train is gonna pull into the station sooner than you think.

Sanders would have beat Trump, easily. Now it's too late. The Democrats are paying for the mess they created by obstructing Bernie, and it looks like they still haven't learned anything. You reap what you sow.

Biden won't win the primary. Democrats have made it clear that he's disqualified because he's an Evil White Male.

Most liberals care more about virtue-signaling than actually getting anything done.


And for the record, I'm kinda a liberal myself. Donald Trump is a complete and utter piece of ****. But Democrats have learned *nothing* from the election of this traitorous con man... and he may well win a second term due to their deliberate alienation of the white working class.

Wasn't his agenda rejected when we voted Trump in?
