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 dont think any Democrats ever won saying, We cant think that bigwe ought to really downsize here because its not realistic, Biden added in what the newspaper described as a mocking tone. Cmon man, this is the Democratic Party! Im not part of the party that says, Well, we cant do it.
Neither Biden nor President Barack Obama have endorsed a presidential candidate.

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

(28,876 posts)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.
