Candid Joe Biden says he 'regrets' his decision not to run for president 'every day' as he admits to having second thoughts

You can take Joe Biden out of the presidential campaign, but you can't take the campaign out of Joe Biden.

Three months after bowing out of the 2016 competition, the vice president has a few second thoughts about his decision.

'I regret it every day,' Biden said Wednesday.

Still, he said he made the right call for his family and for himself. And he pledged to stay 'deeply involved' in the race to replace President Barack Obama.

'We've got two good candidates,' Biden said, praising Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders for engaging in a 'robust debate' devoid of personal attacks. He glossed over the third candidate running for the Democratic nomination, Martin O'Malley, whose campaign has struggled to gain traction.

State Dept. set to release 2,900 additional pages of Clinton emails

".......Citing the heavy burden imposed by screening so many documents for sensitive information in such a short period of time, the State Department also declined to include headers with subject lines or sender and recipient information in the initial batch, making the records difficult to read...."

FBI investigation will doom Hillary Clinton suggests former U.S. attorney

"Like a heavy cloud, pregnant with rain and thunder, the FBI investigation into her email server hands over the presidential ambitions of Hillary Clinton. As the American Thinker noted, FBI Director James Comey is immune to political pressure and is closely supervising the investigation. The Washington Examiner reported on Tuesday that Joe DiGenova, a former U.S. attorney appointed by President Reagan, predicted that the FBI would recommend that Clinton be indicted within the next 60 days. If Attorney General Loretta Lynch declines to indict, DiGenova predicts nothing less the Armageddon. She would face an open revolt from the FBI and the intelligence community.........

......."The evidence against the Clinton staff and the secretary is so overwhelming at this point that if, in fact, she chooses not to charge Hillary, they will never be able to charge another federal employee with the negligent handling of classified information. The intelligence community will not stand for that. They will fight for indictment and they are already in the process of gearing themselves to basically revolt if she refuses to bring charges."

If what DiGenova is saying is true, Hillary Clinton's presidential ambitions are doomed before the 2016 campaign begins in earnest. Either an indictment or the political Armageddon predicted by the former U.S. attorney would make a run for the presidency impossible, even if the Clinton camp were to try to brazen it would, which it has done in similar situations.

The collapse of the Clinton campaign in March would leave the Democrats with just one other viable candidate, Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vermont. But no one who admits to being a socialist can win the presidency of the United States either.

In that case, is it too late for Vice President Joe Biden to jump in? Would he even want to at that point?"

Hey Joe! How about you write the definitive biography of Neil Kinnock?

Should keep you of trouble and give you something to do!

I agree.

The DNC will call for emergency rule changes about filing deadlines.

Bernie will protest then fall in line.

The Obama-Biden Rose Garden news conference (where Biden spoke as if he were running and then....backed away) left a big “he’s leaving the door open” idea in most everyone’s mind.

And this PR slop led a lot of the wire services last night, with thoughtful poses by the old Bolshevik. The media is so sickening.

Agreed, they are tossing crap against the wall here and seeing what happens. Old Hillary is a likely to be put out to the pasture by the FIB (yeah,yeah) as much as by major health issues. They are warming up slow “the joker” Joe as a major emergency plan.

July 27, 2016 is when the Democrats nominate their candidate. No date before that is “too late”.

In fact, since the electors don’t meet until some time in early December, December 8 is probably not too late.

People really need to get over their fascination with the legalities of “running for President”. It does not exist in our Constitution.

The process is entirely under the control of the fifty State Legislatures (except that Congress gave itself 3 electors in 1960). Decision time is a long, long way away.

Not to worry. DemocRats have a long history of twisting the law and suborNing and influencing their judicial appointees t o get away with whatever the hell they want. I.e. the Toricelli / Lautenberg bait and switch in NJ.

Slobbering Joe and the Democrat propaganda media have always claimed that he's the Democrat who can relate to middle America...

... now they must believe that he's the man to win back the Trump fans!

He regrets it yet he says he made the right call? He uses English words but I don’t think he understands how to string them together to make coherent sentences understandable by English speakers.

Joe could just run as Hillary’s VP and take over when she has a stroke or gets indicted. What are the chances Hillary could actually complete 4 years, what with her health and legal problems?

“........... Both of them told me the same thing, that after her speeches, whether she did a talk or a policy speech, she had to sit behind - she would come off the podium backstage - and have to sit and rest before making it back to the car because she was so fatigued, dizzy and disoriented.

Cardillo said these two security officials don’t know each other and do not live in the same state, but “their stories were almost identical.”

One of the men told him that Clinton was “very pale, kind of disoriented. He said she looked like she was about to faint. She was very pale, almost sweaty.”

Cardillo said one of the incidents occurred while she was Secretary of State. The event worked by the NYPD official was roughly a year ago.

Veteran Republican strategist Roger Stone, who previously worked with GOP frontrunner Donald Trump, told Breitbart News that he has also heard about Clinton’s long-term health problems.

“A number of New York Democrats, very prominent, well-known, wealthy New York Democrats, told me last year that Hillary had very significant health issues and that they were surprised that she was running in view of her health problems and her lack of stamina,” Stone told Breitbart News. “So far, she’s run a very controlled campaign,”...................

I would argue that he is preparing the public for his re entry after Hillary is arrested
