Biden: I Knew Hillary Would Lose Battleground States
Daily Caller ^ | 12:07 PM 06/10/2017 | Amber Athey

Former Vice President Joe Biden said Friday that he knew a month before the 2016 election that Hillary Clinton would lose key battleground states.

Biden made the comment during a closed-door appearance with Mitt Romney at the annual Romney-hosted E2 Summit, reports Politico.

Based on his assessment of campaigning in those key battleground states, he said, he knew a month before the election that Clinton would lose them.

Biden also stepped on Hillary just last month, saying he never thought she was a “great candidate” during a conference in Las Vegas. …

Biden has had 3 deep invasive brain surgeries. There is something in his genetic line that makes his family susceptible to brain cancer. Ask any neurosurgeon those type of invasive brain surgeries and you’re not quite the same. Biden has had three!

The Rats best candidate would have been Bernie. I still think Bernie would have won. He would have taken the non-cognitive part of the great “disenfranchised voter bloc”.

And yes I think that sub-bloc is larger then cognitive one!

Other words of wisdom from Joe...

"I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy."

We should keep pushing the line that Bernie would have won.

So Biden just blew apart the Russian hacking excuse and laid it at the feet of Hillary. Watch for this story to go nowhere.

It begins!

Yep. No matter what pervy-uncle Joe says - they put all they had into her basket and expected her to save them from us.

When they start feeding on her carcass, you know that it is the beginning of the end for the demoncraps.

I was working at Xerox PARC in '85 and patented an Optical translator device or LaserMouse.

Some years later but before the patent ran out I noticed that another company had begun selling LaserMice. I informed our legal types who informed me that the potential payout was only a few million dollars and not worth their time. Oh.

Look at the eyes of the other four people in the picture. They all seem to have a “this guy needs his butt kicked” look on their faces.

“I too, think Biden would have won”

But... He deferred to the DNC Grande Poobah!

After I took into account HRCs health issues and the lack of crowds at her events I too thought that Biden probably would have been a better choice at that point. But that point of time had passed and Clinton turned out to have too heavy of a load of baggage for the DNC to carry. And than thankfully so!

The Lord moves in mysterious ways.

Bwah hah hah. This proves that the Clinton Crime family has been defanged for all practical purposes. Kankles still thinks she’s the smartest and most important woman in the world, that she could run for POTUS again and win. I hope she runs again, LMAO.

I too, think Biden would have won.

there is no doubt he would have carried MI and PA, 36 EV’s; he’d still need the 1 ME EV to win...

He didn’t run because the DNC declared it was Hillary’s turn and no one was allowed to mess with that. If it wasn’t for Bernie not respecting their rules she would have run unopposed.

Maybe he just watched Trumpland, Moore predicted Hillary was going to lose, he even got the reasons right. Frankly if Moore can figure it out it must have been pretty obvious.

Robert William Kearns (March 10, 1927 – February 9, 2005) was an American inventor who invented the intermittent windshield wiper systems used on most automobiles from 1969 to the present. His first patent for the invention was filed on December 1, 1964.
I'm well aware of those facts.

My point was to show how silly Biden's statement is. Anyone can say they thought of anything, at any time.

Unless they took some unambiguous action as a result of their thought process, like writing it down, or telling someone, or (in the case of the windshield wiper invention) making a model, getting an invention notebook signed by a witness, filing for a patent, etc., there is no way to verify or prove what someone thought at a certain time.

I used the windshield-wiper invention because it is one that I know many people claimed to have invented, including my old boss (born in the 1920s, like Robert Kearns), and another elderly engineer I once met.

The intermittent windshield wiper seems to me to be one of the most widely invented inventions of all time.

Although having an idea for something and being the legal "inventor," in the sense of being issued a patent by the USPTO, are two different things.

This distinction was forced into law by the famous Lemelson patent case.

Jerome Lemelson was a guy who thought up hundreds of ideas with no intention of reducing them to practice. He then patented them, and waited until someone actually created a physical embodiment of the invention and put it on the market; that is when Lemelson appeared, demanding a royalty.

He became extremely wealthy as a result.

Some of his big successes included bar coding (which he described in a patent but did not actually reduce to practice) as well as several patents pertaining to machine vision (that is, the use of a computer to interpret images generated by a camera, such as a video camera). This is the field in which I make my living, and as a holder of several machine vision patents I am acutely aware of Lemelson and the mark he made on the field of patent law.

There were DNC email that showed how candidates other than Clinton were cut off early in the process.

I am not so sure. Trump’s campaign would have adjusted for Biden being their candidate and gone after him more ruthlessly than he could against a female candidate. Trump would have been completely unrestrained..and we can only guess what kind of language he would have used. And then, after a lifetime in politics what exactly are bidens achievements ? Trump could have pinned the last 8 years more directly on Biden than he did on Hillary.

The DNC figured that if they let Hillary run and lose they would be rid of her once and for all.
