It looks like Biden's poll numbers are starting to trend downward. I think people are really

getting tired of his "should I or shouldn't I run" drama that the MSM has been pushing.

His window of opportunity is closing very rapidly

...I am hoping that he does it quickly.

I believe Bernie could win the general and that Biden could win the general...but not Hillary. Hopefully one of them could keep her out of the nomination.'

Note: I do not dislike Hillary -- I am realistic about he amount of hatred there is for her. There is no way IMO she could ever win the general. Bernie and/or Biden against one of the Repukes could do it...but not Hillary.

so it makes sense that his numbers are not as high since so many saw that debate and he wasn't in it.

He will just humiliate himself with yet another losing campaign. Because he is to the right of Hillary, the only shot he has is to attack her, which he has already started in a backhanded, sleazy manner. That approach will backfire on him bigtime. He will end up sounding like Trey Goudy, kiss of death among Dems, rational Indys and Repubs (I know). Plus, there's so much ammo against him and his record it's pathetic.

Hillary will not only take the nomination, but win the general in a landslide, IMHO.
