Biden Reportedly Slams Clinton: ‘I Never Thought She Was The Correct Candidate’

I always liked uncle Joe's style but I don't see the point of this. It's about as useful as musings about what would have happened with Bernie. He decided not to run so it's moot.

On a related note you're going to have an extraordinarily difficult time convincing people like me that we should vote for someone over 50 when 2020 rolls around. I am not voting for another boomer, period.
 
I like uncle Joe, and we're all entitled to our own opinions, I thought she was extremely qualified, especially compared to our current model. I didn't agree with everything she said. But I would of preferred Bernie, unfortunately I like many others I fell for the hype and didn't think he had a chance and in no way did I want Trump in the office.
 
She was extremely well qualified, and I don't see what else Uncle Joe brings to the table except for better likability metrics and more of that "I'd have a beer with that guy" vibe. Both of them are as Washington insider as you can get, both have been in politics 30+ years. The only real knock on Hillary is that she'd had so much damage done to her brand over the years (some deserved, some not) yet somehow her campaign thought that she'd "float above it all" without having to be approachable. She needed to do far more interviews, far more press conferences for the public to figure out who she really was.
 
She is qualified. I don't see the point of this either. She likely would have made a good President albeit a shitty candidate.
 
"Slams", "Crushes", "Destroys" and all the other clickbait techniques in headlines are usually good indicators that an article is of low quality.

Summary of article.
Biden, like most successful career politicians, feels he brings more to the table than the other candidates. Where if it weren't for special circumstances he would have run for president and won.

Yeah. That was slamming?

He just said that he thought that he was better suited than her, which as he said that he might run in 2020 (which was a real WTF moment for me! That's the real story of that piece) he has to.

Somewhere, someone is linking this article on social media complaining about how Biden is a misogynist and something about patriarchy.
 
I agree with Joe on this
"I believe we have to end the divisive, partisan politics that is ripping this country apart and I believe we can. It's mean spirited. It's petty. And it's gone on for much too long. I don't believe, like some do, that it's naive to talk to Republicans. I don't think we should look at Republicans as our enemies. They are our opposition. They're not our enemies."

Oh dear Biden is poor lost soul led by Trump. Dems don't listen to him, he's an old white guy. Just stay the course and do the same thing time and again so you can show us how no party has suffered and been attacked than any in history.

Better start back at your roots guys

He's an idiot then. He should know by Obama's attempts at bipartisanship that you can't deal with Republicans. They are too craven and corrupt. They are errand boys for the Mercers, Kochs, etc.

Obama got into office. Hillary wasn't able to and no it is not all Trump. Now everyone can console themselves that they picked the wrong person and yell to the guy in the WH. Oops, that guy is Trump and he doesn't care.

Outside looking in. I don't see how that helped.

I'm not sure what your reply has to do with my response. Obama got into office with the promise that there would be change in many regards. People didn't pick him due to promise of bipartisanship. This would be stupid to do anyway. Republicans no matter what will block anything. Look at Cantor. He took hard-line Republican positions, but his connection with the Obama administration destroyed him. The political climate is too polarized. It would be completely dysfunctional if Democrats tried working with Republicans. Democrat voters will punish them for it, and it makes no sense for Republican administrations to receive assistance on their BS legislation, but Democrat administrations are lame duck.

The point is that Obama was willing to at least work with the Republicans on some issues as were those before him. If it has come to the point that voters will punish the rational effort to try then I suggest that people find a nation they like and work to get citizenship status there. I like the southern island of NZ myself.

Are you saying that's why he got elected? That's definitely not one of the reasons. Remember, Democrats also got punished working with the Bush administration. And working with Republicans meant Obama wanted Simpson-Bowles, which means Republicans won. Ironically, it was the Tea Party that saved us from the "grand bargain" because they won't take 95% as answer. They have to have 100% of what they want.

How is it rational for Obama to try for bipartisanship? That's dysfunctional. Republicans wouldn't even support infrastructure spending during the Great Recession. No way should they get rewarded. And Democrat voters would be rightly furious with Democrat politicians working with Republicans on their BS ideas. It's not going to go over well to support a BS infrastructure bill of handouts to the rich and toll roads and other crap.
 
Meh, Biden as being an ass. It isn't that he says that Clinton wasn't the most qualified. It's that he says HE was the most qualified. Then he should have run. If you think you're the most qualified, then run. Don't sit on the sidelines then heckle the candidate using hindsight after she loses, especially after having campaigned for her and made numerous stump speeches in her favor. It's bad faith.
