56. Hillary's baggage reinforced the image she was corrupt.

Biden's baggage isn't anywhere near that level. No one thinks Biden is a corrupt politician. Ultimately, Hillary would have won anyway had it not been for the Comey Letter during the 11th hour of the campaign. They're not comparable.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
