Joe Biden...In or Out (Hillary Clinton Group)

[Walk away]

I don't think he'll run but it might not be such a bad thing. He may seem to be taking more votes from Hillary at first but, in the long run, his presence will take the wind out of Bernie's campaign. It will force the BS campaign to run against him. Also, they will have to smear and attack him the way they do Hillary, in order to desperately try to reclaim 2nd place.

The same thing will happen in the repukes camp. They will have to go after Biden because (unlike Bernie) he is electable in the General. That will take the constant media assault off our girl.

In the end, Hillary beats all comers and with Biden in the mix she may emerge a stronger candidate to face a republican opponent. I'm just not that worried about this and I see the "up" side.

1. Very good analysis.

I see Hillary as the candidate in any scenario. And I think she will beat any Republican in the GE.

2. I agree with your scenario and would welcome Joe to the race.

We would have two awesome Democrats at the top of the race.

3. I think Joe Biden is a good person, a life long democrat, it would change the primaries and agree

Biden entering the race would take away from Sanders current supporters. All the cheering for Biden getting into the race hoping it would take Hillary out of the race is going to backfire.
