"..."I don't think there's any door to open."

That's wiggle room talk.

My first introduction to income inequality was when the Bosses new executive secretary complained that I made more money than she did. She had an office and I just worked on the boiler and other machines and was always dirty. It is always about jealousy.

I’m thinking after Hildabeast’s arrest it will be Biden/Sanders after some DNC dealing?

“I don’t think she ever thought she was a prohibitive favorite ... everything’s sort of coming down to Earth.”

[TigersEye]

He who hesitates is Joe Biden.

[fhayek]

I hope that Hillary isn’t claustrophobic, because there ain’t much room under that bus.

[nickcarraway]

Yes, Biden plagiarized that idea decades ago.

[FerociousRabbit]

Hillary is a sinking ship. The rats are jumping.

[elhombrelibre]

It’s beyond me how the Clintons, with all of their wealth and manifest avarice, can be credible on the income inequality scam. They’ve always hung with the super rich, including such mega rich people as Donald Trump. They are so close to such super rich people as Trump that they attended his third wedding. They’re used their political power to get more, and more rich by basically selling influence to people, as their friend Donald Trump states and donation records confirm.

"What Bernie Sanders has to do is say that the Second Amendment says -- which he has, of late -- the Second Amendment says you can limit who can own a gun, that people who are criminals shouldn't have guns. People who are schizophrenic and have mental illnesses shouldn't own guns," Biden said. "And he has said that. "

Say WHAT???????????????

Boy, he must have a different copy of the U.S. Constitution than I have.

[sauropod]

Sure is.

Ol’ Plugs would be a much more formidable candidate than the Bern. He is able to speak to a much broader segment of their base.

2015 was the 50th anniversary of LBJ's War on Poverty. There are some programs that have proved useful, but overall, and certainly in terms of the aspirations to achievement ratio, a greater failure would be hard to find. Democrats don't much like to talk about it. "Inequality" has become their device for rebranding the issue, shoving 50 years of history down the memory hold, and pretending that they are starting afresh on a bold new adventure in spending other peoples' money.

Any honest discussion of the issue would begin by acknowledging that uplifting the poor has been a central preoccupation of government at all levels for a half century. We have learned a great deal about what doesn't work, and about what does. That's the discussion we should be having. It's the discussion that the Democrats want to avoid.

Biden recently said that while the decision not to run was the right one, he regrets not being in the campaign "every day." But the vice president shut the door to jumping back into race if Clinton falters in Iowa and New Hampshire.

"No, even if Hillary loses both, it's a long way to go to the nomination," he said. "I don't think there's any door to open."

But should some door open, because Hillary suddenly decides to drop out "to spend more time with her grandchildren" or is taken out by some random grand jury somewhere, he's "Tanned. Rested. Ready."

Biden has more than just mild dementia. There is just no way that he could survive a normal primary campaign season without ****ing into the podium in the middle of a speech.

[jacknhoo]

Poor Biden...he the Deomocrats’ Dan Quayle, except with a Utopian pervert creepiness.

[BobL]

There is a STRATEGY here.

First, Obama WILL NOT endorse Clinton, now Biden questions her commitment on a core issue.

I think they’re trying to drive her out, but she won’t go. They still have their ‘trump’ card, which is the Justice Department, but would rather not use it.

Thoughtful solutions?

Equal pay for equal work has been the law for over 50 years.

The proof of how little Dems have to offer is that they have to recycle the same worn-out themes—income equality, tax the rich, the war on women, the war on the elderly.

Funny how they never seem to solve any of them.

Slow Joe is among the worst of them, but he hides in behind a very avuncular personality.

Make no mistake—he aids and abets all of them, so he is a Communist like the rest of them.

[Travis T. OJustice]

There is no such thing as “income inequality, however, there is definitely a thing called effort inequality.

[ek_hornbeck]

The Democratic Party is bracing for Hillary's scandals to hurt her candidacy enough for there to be a significant protest vote going to Bernie. Enough of a vote that Hillary won't get a clear majority of delegates and to call a brokered convention. The Democrat's nomination process gives Superdelegates a lot more leeway than during the Republican nomination, which makes it easier to nominate someone who wasn't even a candidate in the primaries.

In preparation, they are lining up potential nominees for the brokered convention. Biden is top of the list, and he's probably still sore after being told not to run in the primaries when Hillary started to rise in the polls again last fall.

"What Bernie Sanders has to do is say that the Second Amendment says -- which he has, of late -- the Second Amendment says you can limit who can own a gun, that people who are criminals shouldn't have guns. People who are schizophrenic and have mental illnesses shouldn't own guns," Biden said.

So in Dopey Joe's cavernous cranium, the words "shall NOT be infringed" and "you can limit" are somehow synonymous?
