Republican front-runner Donald Trump on Tuesday suggested that Vice President Joe Biden would run if Hillary Clinton were indicted and put on trial for her handling of her email while secretary of state.
âIf she â for instance, gets indicted â if she has to go on trial, theyâre going to have Biden or somebody else come in, weâll see what happens. I wouldnât mind that either,â Trump said in an interview with radio host Simon Conway, boasting that he didnât think Biden would do well. âBut he could come in. Iâve heard of numerous people. But I have a feeling if sheâs indicted â which a lot of people â say she will be. I say maybe not because theyâre going to protect her but a lot of people say she will be.â
Trump is relying on quite a bit of speculation here â that Clinton could be criminally prosecuted for her use of a private server while secretary of state and that Biden might run instead â and portraying Democrats as a wrecked party.
Biden has made it clear he has no plans to run: after much speculation, he said last year he felt there wasnât enough time for both his family to mourn the loss of Bidenâs son, heal, and for him to mount a successful bid.

Equal opportunity perv.
That could get weird.
Do you remember that loud, gimmicky, fake HA HA HA laugh in the VP debates that Biden did every time it was his turn to speak? He's weird even without being up against Trump.
Is that what Hillary told him?
I disagree, Biden will be it because he will draw in millions of sympathy votes because one of his sons dying wishes was daddy run for president.
In addition, he decimated Ryan in the VP debate in 2012 so he proved he is an excellent debater. He would cut trump up as well as he did Ryan. He is a master politician and would as well as could push rumps buttons to set his temper off.
You are right . Biden will be the best bet the Dims have at stopping Trump from peeling 20% of blue collar Dims in the must-win rustbelt states .
The rotten trade deals will be a huge factor in the debates and I think Biden will have a hard time defending these deals . Trump has the right message to pull these voters and stop more job losses , and it has the Dims in a panic. Enter Biden
There is less chance chance of Hillary being indicted than there is of ISIS mass converting to Christianity.
There are deadlines.
The democrats can change any rules they want.
HAHAHAHA!!!!!
I said many months ago I think this has been planned as a way for the Obamas to stay in the White House.
Biden will get the Dem nod and pick Michelle as his VP. He might later bow out due to health issues so Obama can run things (into the ground) for another 8 years.
Personally, I don’t think Hillary or Joe can beat any of the Republican candidates unless through overwhelming voter fraud greater than in the past.
They’ve always been socialists. It’s just more in your face now.
Yes.
James Earl Ray and Sirhan Sirhan have yet to emerge.
Agree completely.
I don't know why so many people here put down Biden.
In the electoral arena, he's a champ. He ate Paul Ryan alive.
I do remember.
I also remember that he slaughtered Paul Ryan.
Biden wins easily, and he knows it. That’s why it’s tearing him apart that he isn’t running.
Disagree. And the media does not love Trump at all. Did you happen to see today’s front page of the New York Daily News ?
In fact, they are trying to take him down already and it’s failing - BIG LEAGUE (as Mr. Trump would say)!
There won’t be an official Dem. candidate until after their convention next summer. Anything can change, regardless of the primaries until at least then, especially if the Hildabeast has to drop out.
If Biden runs...he wins.
He’s a lot more palatable to middle of the roaders than Hillary or Bernie.
I was saying that about Hillary as president since after Obama got elected.
Now I don’t believe it.
Biden ? Maybe a different story.
You would see the democRAT establishment scurry behind O’Malley.
democRAT establishment likes Bernie as much as GOPe tools like Trump
No one's smarter than those democrats...
They're gonna pick White Liberal Elite Establishment Men... Yep, the country's in the mood for Establishment types...especially old white ones../s
