Former SC Democratic party chair Dick Harpootlian told MSNBC’s Steve Kornacki Sunday Vice President Joe Biden’s consideration of a presidential run actually gives Democrats the best chance of retaining the White House in 2016.
Harpootlian said Hillary Clinton’s track record will cause her and the Democrats to “die a death of a thousand cuts,” yet Biden is “an inspirational figure” that voters can rally around.
HARPOOTLIAN: I think Hillary comes into the race, as she did in ’08 with all kinds of baggage… There’s going to be distractions, we saw just this week with the Wall Street Journal about payments money raised to the foundation and speeches given, prior to her becoming secretary of state… It’s that kind of record and those kinds of distractions that will keep her off-balance and the Democratic party off-balance throughout the Clinton campaign… I think it’s very important to understand, she will die a death of a thousand cuts, as I said some time ago while Biden can focus the voters on him and on what he proposes to do… Joe Biden is an inspirational figure. He gives a great speech… Bill Clinton had that. Barack Obama had that. Even George W. Bush has that. Hillary Clinton does not have the ability to inspire people."

WHAT?
A THIRD term for Obama?
Can’t happen!
A “third term” would VIOLATE the Constitution!!!
Ohhh....
Never mind.
You mentioned Elizabeth Warren upthread. Is it your opinion she is the actual Dem candidate?
Oh, she is very much a candidate. She is 66, just 18 months younger than Hillary.
This is her one chance. 70 is a bit too old, and why wait when field will soon be wide open.
She is using Bernie as the giant killer, so she doesn’t have to get hands “dirty” and is “blameless” in the demise of Hillary.
She is also the perfect transferee for all the Hillary “adoration” supporters.
Oh, yes. She is very running.
Old, smart, sports and political rule; Never get knocked out in the SEMI-finals. She is waiting for Hillary to be gone. then will “hear the public’s call.”
You are a pretty smart cookie.
“Final proof that we are truly living in an idiocracy.”
Your watch is running slow, at this point “IDIOCRACY” looks like the good old days.
Now come on, do you see any evidence of alcohol usage in this video? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NmRXH7RkCZQ
