Vice President Biden Praises Sanders Campaign: "I Like The Idea Of Saying We Can Do Much More

Vice President Joe Biden might be officially neutral between the Clinton and Sanders campaigns. But he certainly isn’t neutral about the contrast between their campaign styles.

From The New York Times...

“I like the idea of saying, ‘We can do much more,’ because we can,” Mr. Biden said in an interview on the Washington-to-Wilmington, Del., Amtrak train he has ridden throughout four decades in national politics.

“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,’ ” he said in 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.’ ”

...

he likes the idea that Mr. Sanders is aiming high, regardless of whether the large steps he envisions to narrow income inequality and broaden economic opportunity become realized in the next presidential term. The philosophy Mr. Biden has advocated within the Obama White House: Push for a lot, and persevere over the long run.

...

“Presidents have always been told by really smart people: ‘Don’t push something that you can’t succeed in — it diminishes your power,’ ” he said. “I completely disagree with that proposition.”

Now, now Joe, people might call you a dreamer or an idealist or one of those nasty, 'socialist' people who think we should have what other countries have, or something! Lol!

It's hard not to when Bernie makes so much sense. Thanks Joe, this is not the first time Biden has done this. A few months ago he told a bunch of young people to 'vote for Bernie, he's a good man'. Wrote an OP about here airc. And on another occasion told another group of young people that Bernie is right about the money in politics and they needed to make that their #1 issue.
