2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumI want Biden to STFU!
He's throwing bombs from the sidelines without the ability of Hillary to respond right now. He's changing up his story (eg, Bin Laden), and underminining Dems' longterm shot at the 2016 Presidency.
I appreciate how Bernie is running his campaign. Sticking to the issue and avoiding sideways disses of the other candidate/s. That's the way to run a campaign.
Biden's time has come and go. He's done some questionable things - going after Anita Hill, for one. Wasn't there a plaigarism charge at one time?
Let the candidates who are fully committed and invested in this campaign carry on. Be there to support, not tear down.

(4,452 posts)He's a media distraction meant to garner some interest in covering the election.
No matter what the effect of the media might have it still boils down to a status quo candidate versus a politician who want's to break the mold.
Most of those that have put their support behind any candidate currently running will probably not change their opinion based on what Biden does.

(9,314 posts)him the other day because of the grieving process -my Dad died 11 days before his son, but even I think enough is enough. His grief isn't going to go away so he either runs while dealing with it or not.

(24,589 posts)Sorry about the emotion...it's not just for the party and the Presidency, but, my gawd..I would think out of consideration for his dear family!! Running for office is at base such an egotistical act, even where it's because one believes it's because s/he thinks s/he has the best ideas, energy, etc., "selflessly" to help the country...an egotistical stance in itself.
Interesting that he is lecturing Hillary about consensus. The antagonism against her is generated from the Republican side.
