It’s over. Hillary Clinton is not going to be the next President of the United States. It’s not because she demanded skim milk for her tea, though any discerning tea-drinker would always insist on at least semi-skim. It’s not because she couldn’t work out how to watch ‘Parks and Recreation’ or ‘The Good Wife’ on catch-up TV, though coupled with her general apparent ignorance of all new technology this does little to negate the nagging sense that she’s simply too old for the top job in America. It’s not because her aides sometimes go 100 hours without sleep, though this...

In a preview of an interview set to air on Tuesday night’s broadcast of CNN’s “AC360,” Vice President Dick Cheney sounded off on the 2016 Democratic race for the nomination, in particular the possibility of his vice-presidential successor Joe Biden running against Hillary Clinton for the nomination. “I’d love to see Joe get in the race,” Cheney said. Cheney contended Biden would “stir things up,” which would make him viable. ...

Republican presidential front-runner said Thursday that his plans to improve the economy for black Americans is why he is leading in the polls with black voters, though at least one recent poll disputes Trump's claim. "I lead with almost every group. including with the African-American groups," Trump told reporters at an event in Greenville, South Carolina. "I have tremendous support." Quinnipiac University released a national poll Thursday showing that while Trump is leading the Republican Party nationally, he is polling poorly with black Americans in the general election. The poll found... When asked "If the election for President were being...

Minneapolis, Minn.—To the increasing reports of Democratic leaders panicking over Hillary Clinton’s e-mail scandal and considering alternative presidential candidates, delegates at the Democratic National Committee’s summer meeting on Thursday had just one response: Remain calm! All is well! To a man, the state Democratic-party leaders and activists who packed the hallways of the Minneapolis Hilton scoffed at suggestions that Clinton’s e-mails could sink her campaign — and cautioned Vice President Joe Biden against pursuing his own campaign against her. “I think it would be a mistake for him to enter the race, as a respected Democrat and politician,” says Nick...

In ways both subtle and blunt, Hillary Rodham Clinton’s campaign is sending a message to Vice President Joe Biden about his potential presidential campaign: This won’t be easy. […] Clinton and her team speak warmly of Biden in public. They’ve also taken steps to show their dominance over the party’s establishment and President Barack Obama’s political infrastructure in hopes of quietly discouraging the vice president from entering the race. …

Another day, another poll to rattle former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign. Public Policy Polling, a Democratic firm, found her on Tuesday trailing Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., by seven points in New Hampshire's first-in-the nation Democratic primary. It was the second poll to get such a result. Why is this happening? Clinton's coronation as the Democratic nominee was once taken for granted. Some of it has to do with left-wing Democrats' justifiable sense that she is not one of them but, rather, an entitled millionaire who cuts an odd figure as a populist champion of the middle class....

After his recent criticism of Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton, U.S. Rep. John Yarmuth, D-Louisville, says Vice President Joe Biden’s entry in the race “could cause a lot of problems for a lot of Democrats (with) split loyalties.” Speaking to Pure Politics on Tuesday, Yarmuth said he’s “not sure yet” if a run from Biden would be better for Democrats seeking to keep the White House. “Joe is very popular. He is a great public servant,” Yarmuth said. (3:53) “I’ve known him since he came to the Senate in 1972. He’s a wonderful man, and I think he’d be a...

Vice President Biden told a group of Democrats Wednesday he is figuring out whether he has the “emotional fuel” to run for president, CNN reported. Biden, whose son Beau died from brain cancer in May, said he would have to commit his “heart” and “soul” to a presidential campaign, both of which are “pretty well banged up.”

Hillary Clinton on Wednesday said Joe Biden should be given "space" to make up his mind about a presidential bid and that she had not been making "behind-the-scenes" moves as the vice president mulls his decision. "Vice President Biden is a friend of mine—he and I were colleagues in the Senate, I worked with him as first lady, I worked with him in President Obama's first term, and I have a great deal of admiration and respect for him," Clinton told reporters after a campaign event in Ankeny, Iowa. "I think he has to make what is a very difficult...

RUSH: Polling data shows that Trump is just continuing to skyrocket in most places. Hillary still beats Trump head-to-head in Wisconsin, I think I saw that. But Hillary man, oh, man, oh, man, I'll tell you the catcalls on the Democrat side among Democrats and media are for her to just get out. Last week it was one supporter writing in the UK Telegraph, I think, that we quoted, who said, "Please, Hillary, I love you, but please get out before you embarrass yourself. Please get out. Please." Many more people have now joined that refrain. And now the popular...

The potential first First Gentleman is reportedly “very agitated” by the possibility Vice President Joe Biden may challenge Hillary Clinton for the Democratic presidential nomination. [Snip] President Obama reportedly gave his blessing to Biden run for president during a private lunch Monday. White House spokesman Josh Earnest lauded Joe Biden as the best political decision the president ever made, even over choosing Hillary Clinton to be secretary of state.

Stop snickering. The prospects of an internecine fight between Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden should have progressives worried, especially with Bernie Sanders still rising in the polls. Michael Tomasky rightly frets that a Biden entry while Hillary still remains in the race will have both sides “going for the jugular†— and in both cases, the jugulars are particularly large targets. But it’s Tomasky’s perspective on their biggest selling points that really displays how ugly this will get: He’s going to have to run a campaign that says, sub rosa: “I’m a stronger and safer nominee because she’s corrupt.”...

A leftover from last night that shouldn’t go unremarked upon. If it seems weird to you that Biden, the sitting VP and a guy who began serving in the Senate when Barack Obama was all of 11 years old, would need The One’s “blessing†to make a run at the big prize, it … seems weird to me too. But there was a chance, I guess, that O, as the head of the party, would tell Biden that Hillary’s their best bet at the nomination and that he’d push strenuously behind the scenes for Democratic donors and operatives to...

Vice President Joe Biden's son, Robert 'Hunter' Biden, says he did not open an Ashley Madison account registered in his name to his email address. Biden denies creating the account, the details of which were exposed on Monday by Breitbart News, and claims to have been framed by someone trying to 'discredit' him. 'I am certain that the account in question is not mine,' he said in a statement to Breitbart. 'This account was clearly set up by someone else without my knowledge and I first learned about the account in question from the media.' Daily Mail Online reached out...

There are few politicians who've been more outspoken on LGBT rights in a gut-level, passionate way than Vice President Joe Biden. Nor has there been any politician so public in his or her opinions and so close to a president who catapulted LGBT rights during his two terms, profoundly making history. Political strategists still debate whether Biden forced President Obama to move more quickly on marriage equality -- something Biden surely would like us to believe -- or if he was part of a trial balloon days before the president finally announced support in the spring of 2012 (most reports...

The best look at how a battle of the morons would shape up is to look at an old Biden appearance on Charlie Rose. It was pretty interesting talk until Camille Paglia reminded us of what we forgot after Bubba, W and Big Br'O: the (still ) most powerful person in the world has to command a certain awe with other world leaders by at least appearing presidential. The battle of the morons could never come out that way if one's head could be transplanted on the other's shoulder and you could vote for both at once: you still wouldnt...

Does Joe Biden have the brains to be president? Yeah, he's a really smart guy. I don't know. No way. He has the IQ of a turnip.
