One thing I noticed about Biden last year, was that he has a relatively low net worth, for someone in such a high position. If the number I recall seeing was accurate.

Clinton has what, maybe 100 million now?

Biden has less than 500,000 if I recall correctly. Running for President of America takes a bit more than that, really.

I think he just couldn’t afford to compete with Hillary.

It is odd he said “no” right before the Benghazi hearing.
Maybe Hillary told him she would spill the peas about his
role during the hearing, if he didn’t drop out.

I’d bet that BigEars told him he wasn’t going to allow the justice dept to indict Hitlery.

Vice President Joe Biden says in a new interview that he would have run for president if he thought he could have won.

That's what Trump said .

Thank God America is awakening.

Forbes magazine recently calculated that Bill & Hillary have made $230 million since leaving the White House.

He’d make more on the speaking circuit for the next 4 years.

Biden as usual sounded like an absolute fool and an old one.

If it’s an actual fair election this time then no one from the left is going to win.

Maybe I recall that incorrectly, but that was the impression I had.

Sorry if that is incorrect.

If he thought Hillary wouldn’t have him knocked off.

That’s a respectable amount, but not even up to where I think he would need to compete with Clinton.

Not even close.

One thing interesting, it seems that Obama and Palin are almost at the same place. I thought that was interesting.

Palin however was not in the same ballpark with Romney. That may have been part of what the reason she stood down was, last time around.

They’re all doing well, but Romney had a much larger war chest last time around.

Or he told him to wait until Hillary was indicted.

Check the beginning of the article transcript. Slow Joe checked himself referring to running in the present tense.
