Vice President Joe Biden offered effusive praise for Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders Monday, lauding Hillary Clinton's chief rival for doing a "heck of a job" on the campaign trail and praising Sanders for offering an authentic voice on income inequality.

And while Biden said Democrats had a slate of "great candidates" running for president, he suggested Clinton was a newcomer to issues like the growing gap between rich and poor.

"Bernie is speaking to a yearning that is deep and real. And he has credibility on it," Biden said during an interview with CNN chief political analyst Gloria Borger.

"It's relatively new for Hillary to talk about that," Biden continued, acknowledging that Clinton has "come forward with some really thoughtful approaches to deal with the issue" of income inequality.

"Hillary's focus has been other things up to now, and that's been Bernie's -- no one questions Bernie's authenticity on those issues," he said.

Biden knows Hitlery is an old Battle Ax. Sounds like he’s going to endorse Bernie. Something might be up.

Former low-information Senator Biden and likewise low-information Senator Sanders are excellent examples why the ill-conceived 17th Amendment should never have been ratified imo.

What low-information Biden unsurprisingly does not seem to understand is this. The states have never delegated to the feds, expressly via the Constitution, the specific power to address INTRAstate income inequality issues.

Can Biden do that and survive? That’s actually defying the Intended.

“Bernie is speaking to a yearning that is deep and real. And he has credibility on it,” 

Covetousness; greed; slothfulness; thievery; involuntary servitude.

Very far from the Golden Rule.

“I want what you got!”

Another of those American values the left is always talking about.

What is the difference between socialists and Democrats?

The spelling.
