I’ll say. No way the big money is going to go into the campaign chest of a two time loser. Besides, the old bat can even walk.

Exactly. And what gets me , for that kind of coin you'd think the big money donors who expected her to win and get returns on their investment would be really pissed off and do something about it. Like make her disappear. Permanently.

I said ‘three’ and should have said ‘two.’”
= = =

So ... this is how 2 + 2 = 5 . . . or maybe 6.

Here’s the video that ended Joe Biden’s presidential run in 1988…

1988 Road to the White House with Senator Biden

Vintage Biden clip resurfaces showing him falsely claiming he was in ‘top half of my class’ in law school

A 1987 clip of Joe Biden has resurfaced, showing him exaggerating his academic record, boasting that he graduated “in the top half of my class” – before he later admitted that he graduated 76th in a class of 85.

The former vice president, who’s currently the leading 2020 presidential candidate, was running back then for the Democratic Party’s nomination for president when he got combative and made the blunder amid questioning by a reporter about his academic credentials at the Syracuse University College of Law.

“I think I have a much higher I.Q. than you do I suspect. I went to law school on a full academic scholarship, the only one in my class to have a full academic scholarship,” he told the reporter during a campaign stop in Claremont, New Hampshire.

“In the first year of the law school, I decided I didn’t want to be in law school and ended up in the bottom two-thirds of my class,” he continued. “And then I decided to stay, went back to law school, and in fact ended up in the top half of my class.”

He added that he was an “outstanding student in the political science department” and “graduated with three degrees from college.”

Shortly after making the claims, Biden had to come out with a confession that he lied about his academic record and actually graduated 76th in a class of 85.

“I did not graduate in the top half of my class at law school and my recollection of this was inaccurate,” he told the New York Times in a statement.

“I graduated from the University of Delaware with a double major in history and political science. My reference to degrees at the Claremont event was intended to refer to these majors – I said ‘three’ and should have said ‘two,’” he added, though the newspaper points out that Biden actually received a single B.A. degree in history and political science.

During an interview with the Times, he also didn’t dispute the reports that he actually went on the law school “on half scholarship based on financial need” rather than full scholarship as he claimed.

“My recollection is – and I’d have to confirm this – but I don’t recall paying any money to go to law school,” he said.

Biden’s 1988 run for Democratic nomination for president ended shortly after the controversy, which also included accusations of plagiarism in his academic work and campaign speeches.

Hillary’s camp is working to remove Joe, while still letting him live.

Didn’t Rosemary Kennedy get some sort of a brain adjustment?

Is that what you mean?

Don’t be too harsh on him, though. Uncle Joe probably believed it at the time.

I think he was a hard-core BS artist, like a lot of politicians.

She can’t control Joe, but she can control the others. Joe will be controlled by Valerie.
