Biden On Clinton's 'Realism': No Dem Wins Saying 'We Can’t Think That Big'

[silvershadow]

Vice President Joe Biden appears to prefer Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders' (I-VT) shoot-for-the-moon style of campaigning over Hillary Clinton's more incremental policy approaches.

“I like the idea of saying, ‘We can do much more,’ because we can,”
Biden told The New York Times aboard an Amtrak train in an interview published Thursday, when asked about Clinton's "realism."

“I don’t think any Democrat’s ever won saying, ‘We can’t think that big—we ought to really downsize here because it’s not realistic,’” Biden added in what the newspaper described as a mocking tone. “C’mon man, this is the Democratic Party! I’m not part of the party that says, ‘Well, we can’t do it.”

Neither Biden nor President Barack Obama have endorsed a presidential candidate.

3. If a person can get a quarter of a million dollars for a one-hour speech

she/he certainly should understand someone else dreaming big.

11. If you have the opportunity, go for it!

But remember, that old advice about using cigarette filters in your nose to protect against tear gas doesn't work as well as advertised.

7. Joe never got the nomination.....

Just sayin'.... Maybe he isn't the best judge of that.

I for one like big visions. But I like a realistic path to get there.

8. It's a big problem. Hillary doesn't seem to have a vision beyond her page in the history books.

9. +1

10. Hillary's playing double chess...

She's going to combine her 'no we can't' platform, with her historic negatives to create a "negative times a negative equals a positive" force that will blow everyone away!

We just can't see it yet. It's that fancy.
