2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumJoe Biden: "I would like to see a woman elected." And then: "Hillary is overwhelmingly qualified."
Bernie may rue the day he ever said she was unqualified. And all because he didn't bother to read beyond a misleading headline, since she never said that about him -- he just thought she'd said "quote unquote" he was unqualified.

Asked whether he wanted to see a woman elected, Biden responded, "I would like to see a woman elected."
The vice president's staff then attempted to cut off discussion of the 2016 race, but Biden insisted he had "no problem" with discussing it while making clear he would not go down "that rabbit [hole]" of offering a formal endorsement.
"The president and I are not going endorse because we both, when we ran said, 'Let the party decide.' But gosh almighty, they're both qualified," he said. "Hillary's overwhelmingly qualified to be president."
