Boehner's scenario: Clinton may drop out, clear way for Biden The Daily Briefing By John T. Bennett CQ-Roll Call Sunday May 15, 2016 8:53 PM
Vice President Joe Biden and former House Speaker John Boehner share a moment as they take the stage for the University of Notre Dame commencement ceremony. Both were on hand Sunday to receive the Laetare Medal.
Out with Hillary Clinton. In with Vice President Joe Biden.
At least thats what former House Speaker John A. Boehner thinks could happen should federal prosecutors opt to slap criminal charges on the former secretary of state over her use of a private email server while in that position.
During a speaking engagement Thursday at a conference in Las Vegas, the now-retired Ohio Republican said he would not be surprised at all if Clinton has to withdraw from the presidential race if she faces charges, according to news reports.
Boehner believes Biden then parachutes in to take on presumptive GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump.

“The collective IQ between those two is about a buck-oh-five.”
Given what we can surmise about Biden’s IQ from his public statements, I think you’re giving Boehner way too much credit.
There could be an attempt at impeachment it Hitlery was pardoned but there would be a full scale revolt of over half of “We the People”
I think your estimate is way too high.
I think one of the guys mentioned has a cold room-temperature IQ, but the other one may have the only negative IQ ever recorded.
Boehner appear to be ignoring the fact that one Bernie Sanders is virtually neck and neck with Crooked Hillary in delegates so far this primary season and would have the case to become the nominee, not Biden, who hasn’t run in a single primary contest.
This might have been the insurance policy the Dems had in mind when Biden chose not to run last year, but Bernie has blown those plans up and his followers won’t just sit back and allow Biden to “parachute in” for the nomination.
It may happen, but if it does Bernie supporters will be LIVID! Many will go to Trump.
Maybe BIden is promising vice presidency.
And in THIS cycle especially !
The democrats haven't run a race, nor ran viable candidates ... all they've done is collect money from idiots
January can't get here soon enough
I have thought this for a long time... I think that a secret deal was made with Clinton to with draw from the race when sanders did mot have the votes to win. Hillary will withdraw from the race right before the first vote at the convention and another candidate will get all her votes collected. a month later Hillary will be pardoned of all her crimes by Obama.
1. Obama Plan Binden goes into effect.
2. Super Delegates told to vote for Biden but at the minimum Anybody But Hillary or Bernie on the First Ballot.
3. Hillary doesn't have the delegates for a first ballot victory.
4. Second Ballot: All Super Delegates vote for Joe Biden
5. In subsequent ballots Biden does better and better.
6. Biden gets the nomination.
7. In the general election the Dems win Minnesota and Washington D.C.
8. In January 2017: Trump Inauguration.
Note that this scenario does not require a Hillary indictment. It just requires that Hillary does not get a majority of the delegates going into the Dem Convention without the help of at least some Super Delegate votes. And that is a likely scenario.
You read it here first. I'm going to be famous - more famous than Nate Silver.
So Biden makes Bernie the VP?
Clinton and Biden’s awkward friendship
Not quite rivals, but never very closenow Hillary and Joe are on a collision course.

The golden era of the Hillary Clinton-Joe Biden relationship lasted four years as long as they had Barack Obama to gossip, kibbitz and complain about.
During his first term, the two developed a kinship cultivated during weekly breakfast meetings in Bidens cozy parlor that hadnt existed before (and hasn’t since). For both, the experience kindled an abiding sense of affection, and not a little ambivalence.
Clinton got an up-close earful of the maddening duality of Biden the motor-mouth powered by a high-octane brain. Biden was charmed by Clintons candor out of the spotlight, but he felt she viewed running for president as a burden, according to people briefed on their interactions.
Those perceptions, especially on the Biden side, will weigh on the 72-year-old vice presidents decision whether to run in 2016 or retire.

“Clinton doesnt dare back out of a campaign that keeps her out of jail.”
You’re right norm. Not to mention that the Bern is still in the race, and his followers will riot at the convention if they tried to coronate Biden. The democrats are stuck between a crook and a socialist now. Good times...
Biden hits back at Clinton’s criticism of Sanders

Vice President Joe Biden may think America is ready for its first female president, but in this Democratic presidential primary, he prefers some of Bernie Sanders messaging over Hillary Clintons.
I like the idea of saying, We can do much more, because we can, Biden told The New York Times in an interview published Thursday.
Clinton, a former Obama administration official, has criticized Sanders on the trail for his bold proposals, suggesting that his policies arent pragmatic.
Joe Biden praises Bernie Sanders for ‘thinking big’
By Eugene Scott, CNN
Washington (CNN)Vice President Joe Biden has not endorsed a candidate in the 2016 race, but he recently praised Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders for thinking big when it comes to how to lead the country.
“I like the idea of saying, ‘We can do much more,’ because we can,” Biden told The New York Times in an interview published Thursday.
Sanders’ critics — most notably surrogates for his primary opponent Hillary Clinton and the candidate, herself — often question how realistic his proposals are, but Biden dismissed that concern.

Two, perpetually drunk, lying liberals holding each other
up.
Ate his lunch and popped the bag too.
I am pretty certain that they are very good friends. I would rather have Biden than Clinton. At least he seems like he likes this country.
Boehner pushing BIDEN 2016 in a subtle anti-Trump moment.
So then you are in total agreement with the 'Never Trump' gang?
