Joe Biden may well be the most honest man in Washington. (barf) That's a very good thing if you are a member of the political press and, at the moment, not a very good thing if you are Hillary Clinton.
Witness Biden's interview Monday night with CNN's Gloria Borger. Borger asked the vice president to explain why Bernie Sanders has found so much success in his challenge to Clinton for the 2016 Democratic presidential nomination. Here's how Biden answered:
BIDEN: I think that -- that Bernie is speaking to a yearning that is deep and real, and he has credibility on it. And that is the absolute enormous concentration of wealth in a small group of people with the new class now being able to be shown being left out. There used to be a basic bargain. If you contributed to the profitability of an enterprise, you got to share in the profit. That's been broken. Productivity is up, wages are stagnant.
BORGER: But Hillary's talking about that, and. . .
BIDEN: Well, it's -- but it's -- it's relatively new for Hillary to talk about that. 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. . .

Lol. I remember when Perot said about listening to "the people": "I am all ears." HAHAHAHA! He DID have big'uns.
Joe is an idiot. A fool, a dunce and a clown.
But he does know something. And just before Hillary is indicted - he will jump into the race.
Hoo Wee!
Can’t the ‘Rats get Paul Ryno to be their candidate?
Schloonnngggg!
True. Biden already has the implicit support of the Obama faction, and is now endearing himself to the Progressive activists who are looking to Bernie as their savior.
Hillary’s being positioned to get caught in a classic political pincer move. She may have the support of a large faction, but it’s nothing compared to the other factions combined.
There IS the possibility that Mr. Clinton will "make him an offer he can't refuse," as Vito Corleone once said.
I hope you're right.
The democrat establishment, Obama and the FBI will crush her and install Joe Biden to rescue (they hope) 2016
yes
I have no problem with Biden throwing his weight behind Bernie. The fewer people behind Hitlery, the better.
It’s just possible that Biden is privy to the FBI’s investigations and DOJ’s deliberations in connection with Hillary’s criminal behavior, and is now positioning himself to re-enter the fray.
Time will tell.. and probably within 60 days or less.
Oh, he can win. He's got the unmitigated socialist "free stuff" thing going on, which a great many voters will opt for.
Bernie's problem is he's not of the Obama clique/tribe - just like Hillary isn't. Barry et al might have tolerated her if she had gotten in line and made a good showing and showed she'd serve his goals, but ... she's ... not holding up well, and looks like she'll be a severe liability to whatever team she is perceived as being on. Like the GOP is terrified of Trump because he's his own team, Bernie is terrifying the establishment Left because he's not on theirs. He can win (though vs Trump will be a hard fight), but he won't be beholden to anyone because he's driven purely by ideology - and that just won't do for the Left's kingmakers, who have a tighter reign over their flock than the GOP has on theirs.
And that is the absolute enormous concentration of wealth in a small group of people with the new class now being able to be shown being left out.
She doesn’t look particularly fond of Joe hitting on her
Who is the baldy?
Could the dems be planning a brokered convention? Say Hillary has the votes for the nomination and is indicted after the primaries. She’s forced out, Sanders wouldn’t be the heir to her delegates, enter slo-joe and convention brokering.
