Bernie Sanders says it would be a "terrible idea" for Democrats to recruit Vice President Joe Biden to run for president if Hillary Clinton is forced out of the race.
"I think that would be a terrible, terrible idea," Sanders said Friday in an interview with The Young Turks, a pro-Sanders online news show. "That would say to the millions of people who have supported us, that have worked with us, that would say all of your energy, all of your votes, all of your beliefs are irrelevant. We're going to bring in someone else," Sanders said.
"I happen to like Joe a lot, but I think that would be a very, very serious blunder for the Democratic Party," he added.
Biden has said often he isn't interested in running for president, citing the death of his son Beau last year as the main reason.
Clinton leads Sanders big in the Democratic presidential race, but Sanders has vowed to stay in the race until the Democratic convention this summer.
Clinton faces a potential indictment as the FBI investigates the private email server she used while serving as secretary of State. Many onlookers are speculating that the ongoing scandal could eventually force Clinton to end her campaign.
In a 4-man race I think he would come in 4th, winning only Utah. This would disqualify him for consideration if none of the top 3 got an electoral vote majority.
Even if the witch is indicted she won’t quit. Her supporters would push the meme that she could run the country from prison.
They will stage a false event like bill being rushed to the hospital and his loving wife needs to be by his side scenario to save face so they can usher in biden who will be compassionate in praise of hillary just like he was when his son passed and he decided not to run. We are in the presence of great people, (spit up in mouth)
