A new poll shows Joe Biden performing a little better than Hillary Clinton against the leading GOP candidates in a general election matchup, and his favorability is better than that of any candidate - Democrat or Republican.

Quinnipiac University's national poll [link at URL], released Thursday, finds that Clinton remains the Democratic frontrunner with 45%, but her lead over Bernie Sanders has slipped by 10 percentage points. sanders has 22 percent, and Biden comes in third at 18 percent. ...

On the Republican side, Trump broadened his lead - he's now at 28 percent, with Ben Carson trailing at 12 percent, and Jeb Bush slipping back into a three-way tie fort third with Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio (they each have 7 percent).

But Trump is also the candidate with the highest percentage (26 percent) who say there's 'no way' they would support him. ...

When voters were asked what they thought of Clinton, the word "liar" came to mind more often than others, and "dishonest" was second. The word most associated with Trump was "arrogant," followed by "blowhard." ...

Nonsense.

Biden is essentially "Generic Democrat" with name recognition at this point. He's got as many skeletons in his closet as Hillary, and once he starts campaigning, he'll be a laughingstock.

No sale. Not even a good try.

A Biden/Sanders ticket would be quite formidable.

Yeah, that was my laugh for the day, too.

He’s had an EXTREMELY successful career in electoral politics, and he more or less created the current system for selecting Supreme Court justices by inventing “Borking”.

Only 3 or 4 other individuals have had as much influence over the direction and current state of the country.

Underestimating him is foolish.

MATHEWS: Mr. Vice President and thank you for appearing on MSNBC and Hardball , Mr. Vice President your name has come up as a possible candidate for the 2016 elections and it seems you are getting very good poll results in your favor. Can you tell me if you would get more aggressive in our national defense if we are threatened by any international threats?

BIDEN: Thank you for asking this very important question Chris and yes, I will take a very strong stance against any country who even thinks about threaten our great country, as a matter of fact, I have written a speech that I will deliver if I’m the nominee, would you like to hear the final draft I’ve written?

MATHEWS: By all means, Mr. Vice President and thank you for making Hardball the first to air your national defense speech ahead of your nomination and I’m sure that other cable and network news will pick this up from Hardball and run with it and, needless to say, our numbers could use a boost. (chuckling)

BIDEN: Well, I’m glad to help you achieve a higher a higher level of relevence, I get all my news from MSNBC and Hardball and I’m sure my speech will go a long way to improve your status in the news community.

(speech)

My fellow Americans, as your nominee, the very first thing I will focus on is the state our National Defense and I want you to know, as president of this great country, you can put aside any doubts whether I will be tougher and more aggressive than any president in recent memory.

I shall go on to the end to fight terror, I shall shall fight on the seas and oceans against terror, I shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, I shall defend America whatever the cost may be, I shall fight on the beaches, I shall fight on the landing grounds, I shall fight in the fields and in the streets, I shall fight in the hills, and I shall never surrender.

Thank you my fellow Americans and may God protect our, soon to be, great country again.

MATHEWS: (wiping his eyes and drooling spit) Mr. Vice President, I have heard many speeches from many presidents but this nomination speech has my whole body trembling with joy and anticipation of you becoming our next president...(breaks down blubbering)

Biden stating he’s got a super-duper-smarty IQ... then he says

“Biden’s IQ High Enough For A 1.98 GPA, Academic Probation”

Biden would be just a puppet for Obama. You would have 8 more years of Obamarule ala Valerie Jarret. Hillary would be better than that IMO.

realistically speaking, a wounded skunk would do better for the Democrats than would Hillary

(not that there’s a great deal of difference between...)

Biden will last until the first debate. Actually with Joe as the nominee, I expect the DNC to move heaven and earth to keep debates from even happening
