Joe Biden took months to decide he wouldnt run for president but he was sold on Elizabeth Warren as his running mate from the start, people familiar with the situation told POLITICO.
And he still thinks the Massachusetts firebrand would be Hillary Clintons best choice to replace him as the nations No. 2 in January 2017.
Biden, a stalwart Democrat who has veered leftward in recent years but, as a centrist senator, voted to scuttle the Glass-Steagall prohibitions on banks engaging in speculative investments favored Warren because he needed a partner to capture the wave of anti-bank, anti-establishment anger raging to his left.
Warren, a freshman senator from Massachusetts, who supports breaking up the big banks and re-imposing 1930s-era Wall Street regulations to prevent another global financial crisis, was Bidens only real choice, according to an official he spoke to at the time.
Biden who told an interviewer on Tuesday that he considered running for president because he believed he was the best person for the job took his hat out of the ring in late October 2015, citing the stresses on his family following the death of his son Beau.
But hes recently told associates that Warren would be an equally smart pick for Hillary Clinton, who has been sharply criticized for refusing to publish the transcripts of her high-paid speeches to the elite banking firm of Goldman Sachs.
Biden, a senior Democratic official said, first mentioned Warren as a possible running mate during his earliest strategy sessions with a team of advisers that included friends Mike Donilon, Steve Richetti and Ted Kaufman; Donilon, the person said, was particularly enthusiastic about it.

I’d love to see him try and grope Liz. She’d scalp Plugs.
This Biden/Warren ticket is one indictment away from fruition. Now all that has to happen is for Obama to pull the trigger to get rid of Hillary and Bill too (Obama can’t stand Bill). A twofer. Be prepared kiddies; the more Hillary sinks in the polls, the more desperate the Dems will get, and that is when Obama will strike and get rid of the Clintons once and for all.
Biden is possessed. It’s the creepy kind of demons, the ones that make him want to fondle little children on live TV and expose himself to secret service agents and others. Really nasty stuff. Deplorable.
Birds of a feather—he’s a plagiarist and she’s a faux Indian.
Does anyone else feel like we are living in a surreal country?
Crazy Bernie ain’t going to let that happen. His supporters will riot on the streets if they skip over Crazy Bernie. Mark my words.
wow, a real ass hole!
Looking more likely as Hillary plummets. Biden’s profile seems to go up each day. Something is up.
Joe speaking with forked tongue. Squaw would not help him.
Hmmmmmm, maybe Hillary is going to be indicted and Biden/Warren is the ticket.
There is still a lot of chatter about Biden being brought on to replace Hillary in the event of an indictment or if the heat on her gets too high.
Senator Fauxcahontas
Biden may well get his wish—if the FBI arrests Hillary. A lot can and will happen before the convention. He failure to put away Sanders (like Trump put away his rivals) shows the party she is weak and could bring defeat.
He's owned by the banks that camp out in tax-free Delaware so that makes him a centrist? Give me a break.
E-Lie-zabeth Warren Tweets anti-Trump rhetoric in a few dozen Tweets...while no other non-candidate from the Dhimmicrat Party has uttered a word.
Good Morning America probably gets a phone call asking/telling them to interview Joe B-Lie-den about a presidential run in which he comes across (once again) as the grieving father who could not bring himself to run for President(sniffle, sniffle).
Somewhere there is a white horse waiting to be ridden into the Dhimmicrat convention hall.
Yep. Not too secret agenda going on here.
Candidates always get a bump in poll numbers coming out of their conventions.
Candidate "Father-with-a-heavy-heart-but-for-the-good-of-the-Party-Country-I-will-accept-the-nomination" might get a huge bump in the polls.
Trump should be blasting not only Hillary but Obama, Warren and Biden as well. Which is is doing and should continue to do.
Make them all feel the heat for the BS they spew and damage they have done to the country.
Impossible to Make America Great Again when you have a cabal of a$$holes determined to destroy it.
Exactly what I’m thinking. I also don’t think Hilly would pick a woman. She’ll end up with a ‘minority’ male of some sort, IMO.
Just what we need. Two bitches holding the highest office in the world.
