2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumThe Biden vs Clinton meme... I will say this once only
There is a line that if some cross makes my stomach churn.. and this attack on Biden who is not running yet about his dying son is coloring my view of the Clinton campaign ... and I would hope she would step in and put her foot down on this one.. Let him be..to make up his own mind..this reminds me way too much of what happened in Iowa in 2008.. and the secret Muslim meme that came out of the Clinton campaign.. not liking this at all..

(6,994 posts)Son's death and grieving for political gain or ever how it was referred to,it could have one of Bill's dirty tricks from "behind the scenes"
Hell yes Bill would do this because that is his style.

(12,655 posts)as much as she is trying to play it cool, we know the campaign is crapping their pants worried that if he runs, it's over for her. It will be a two way race between Biden and Bernie. Which she won't come out and say anything, the surrogates will do all the dirty work.
it was reported on MSNBC yesterday that correct the record is already starting to do opposition research on biden. So I think that says everything we need to know.

(11,197 posts)makes the race for the Dem primary a 33/33/33 contest instead of 50/50. That pretty much hands the nomination to Bernie. Works for me of course, but I doubt you'll find many Hillary supporters eager to see Biden in the race.

As you note, MoDo has been against the Clintons from day one of Bill's first Presidential campaign.
If they asked her to carry water for them, she would dump the bucket over their heads.

(6,048 posts)This is reminding me of 2008 when Hillary gets blamed for things she has nothing to do with at all.

(14,524 posts)Dirty and disgusting smears are standard operating procedure for the Clintons.

(99,711 posts)The Dowd editorial was an ugly hit piece on Hillary who was an innocent bystander. That editorial is the metaphorical equivalent of a drive-by...
What did she do wrong?
askew
(1,464 posts)She and her team race-baited their way through the primaries only to lose. It got so bad that multiple Dems had to publicly call them out on their behavior. I expect the same to happen with Biden and if they go too far, it will just push Obama into backing Biden early and publicly.

(19,460 posts)How does that work? Oh, and by the way, this hit piece was written by Maureen Dowd who is most definitely not a Clinton supporter but don't let facts keep you from bashing Hillary.
