I kind of missed the Biden thing. Yay.

inside the Beltway at one gala or another; something superdelegate-shedding

I've always liked Joe Biden. Policy differences, yes, but there is something very real about him.

lol just kidding. He's pretty cool for a Vice President

What's the point of electing someone who is already polarizing in their own party (2 elections in a row) and then expecting she'll somehow be able to succeed in office with NO national consensus of trust/leadership.

Let's not pretend -- she has earned her reputation over the years. We don't hear scandals coming from the current First Lady after 8 years in office? Can't simply blame 'enemies' or it would be identical for Michelle Obama. It is not.

Reputations are earned, good or bad, and the more time has gone by, the more those reputations are reinforced. Why does Clinton-mistrust continue to be felt within her own Party in great numbers? Because truth matters.

Vice President Biden on Thursday said that Hillary Clinton should stop attacking Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) for having an ambitious progressive ideology.

“I like the idea of saying, ‘we can do so much more,’” Biden said while riding the Washington, D.C. to Delaware Amtrak train, according to The New York Times.

“I don’t think any Democrat’s ever won saying, ‘We can’t think big – we ought to really downsize here because it’s not realistic,” he added. "C’mon man, this is the Democratic Party! I’m not part of the party that says, ‘Well, we can’t do it.’”

Biden said that President Obama’s tenure proves sweeping change is possible with dedication and hard work.

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

“Everything I’ve ever cared about – with the exception of the president’s brilliant passage of the Affordable Care Act – takes time. The only way to get those big things done is talk about them.”
