Vice President Joe Biden predicts that if Donald Trump were to go up against Hillary Clinton in the 2016 presidential election, the former secretary of state "wins in a walk."Â During a Dec. 8 interview with Bloomberg Politics on Air Force Two, Biden discussed his opinions on the business mogul and current front-runner for the Republican presidential nomination. The vice president was particularly critical of Trump's proposal to ban all Muslims from entering the U.S.
"I don't know what his motive is, but I know what he's preaching is a very, very dangerous brew for America,"Â Biden said.
The vice president speculated that Trump's campaign wasn't serious from the start, but that his strong poll numbers has emboldened the business mogul.
"Is this just a guy doing 'Celebrity Apprentice' for himself?" Biden said, referencing Trump's former reality television show. "Is this just a guy who's an entertainer? It may have started there, but, I now think "¦ he wants to be president. But I don't think there's much chance of that."Â
Biden then questioned the practicality of Trump's policies, singling out the candidate's plan to build a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border.
"I believe he's smart enough to know half of what he's saying makes no sense,"Â Biden said. "Build a wall? He's got to build a wall that's the best wall and the highest wall? A lot of this is showmanship."Â
Biden told Bloomberg Politics that Trump is doing well in the polls because his rhetoric plays into the current fearfulness in the national mood, adding "I don't think it's sustainable."Â
Biden predicted Clinton would easily defeat Trump in a general election.

Good, informative post.
Joe is wrong about lots of things.
And he has never built anything in his life.
In 13.5 months he can retire to DE and live out his days in the obscurity he so richly deserves.
A lot of that looks familiar, now that you post it.
Thanks for the reminder.
Joe doesn’t need to live out his days in obscurity.
He needs to be booked on Dancing With The Stars.
Dancing the Tyburn Jig.
You know Joe is is in pretty good shape for being 73.
He might do very well on DWTS!
I looked up Tyburn jig.
Now I get your comment—thanks, I learned something.
Thanks for the note.
Yep, it’s usually quite a surprise for people when they learn what it actually means. :-)
