Why does Biden get so little love here?

[AndreaCG]

Almost all the Hillary detractors tout Warren for president. Why not Biden? He's been great as VP. Is it cause of his foot in mouth reputation? I find most of his "gaffes" are big media exaggerations. I ❤️ Joe!

[LiberalElite]

1. I like Joe too - nt

[NuclearDem]

2. Is that you Joe?

[bravenak]

3. I favor Joe myself.

I cannot help but to love him so. He appeals to me.

[woo me with science]

4. Mr. MBNA/Bank of America?

No thank you. Go back and google those connections and do some reading.

The very last thing we need right now is another president so intimately connected to the predatory Big Banks.

[hootinholler]

5. Winner! Winner!

While he has done some good, his behavior during the bankruptcy bill showed me who's side he's really on.

10. But apparently you wouldn't mind a President who...

...supports the transfer of American money/weapons to Israel which are used to kill Palestinians.

See Bernie Sanders....

[TheKentuckian]

15. Or Hillary Clinton or fuck about anyone including Joe, right.

How does support for military aid for Israel counter the poster's point AT ALL? If the issue is a big focus for you then who is your candidate to reflect that?

[Cali_Democrat]

17. I don't have a candidate

You don't see me running around with Clinton, Sanders or Warren sig lines and avatars.

If you're gonna dish it out, you've gotta be able to take criticism directed at your own candidate.

The poster has made his/her preference clear.

I haven't declared my support for anybody yet.

[Turbineguy]

6. I've always liked Joe Biden

especially the fact that he's a foreign policy wonk.

[SummerSnow]

7. Joe is a good guy. I like him.

[aikoaiko]

8. He massively failed the gun control effort after Sandy Hook.

Not that all that failure displeases me, but he could have gotten universal background checks to include private sales if not for his hubris.

[former9thward]

9. Too old for me.

But so is Warren and Clinton. I would like to see a candidate who is not Social Security age.

[tridim]

11. It baffles me too. Joe is amazing!

[Dems to Win]

12. He voted for the Iraq War

He's no more a viable choice than Hillary, when it comes to my vote.

[woo me with science]

14. Yeah, that, too. Additionally, he has been complicit

throughout all of this:

The record shows aggressive, proactive pursuit of a corporate agenda.

13. I've never been a big fan of Biden, not even in his early days

as a Senator. I don't dislike the man; I just can't think of anything remarkable about him. He's just a classic politician.

[kath]

16. Joe gave us ClarenceThomas on the SC -thanks, Joe!- with his mishandling of the thomas/Hill hearings

he was pathetic
can't forgive him for that.

[Nye Bevan]

18. I like him. But he is too old and gaffe-prone to be president. (nt)

[emulatorloo]

19. Most of his so-called "gaffes' are willful misinterpretations by Fox-style commentators

[randome]

20. An astute politician wouldn't give them the opportunity.

21. C'mon they take shit completely out of context. Totally creative editing.

[JI7]

22. i would vote for Biden but i just don't think he would run

but so far of those who seem like they might run i would vote for him .

[Spider Jerusalem]

23. Biden may be a great guy, but he'll be 73 in 2016.

He also has a chronic case of foot-in-mouth syndrome (on Obama: "so clean and articulate!", for instance, back in 2008) and a decades-old plagiarism issue that'll come back up (he nicked a speech from Neil Kinnock, then leader of the UK Labour Party).

[AndreaCG]

24. I could see the plagiarism charge coming up

If Rand Paul was the nominee, cause it would be a classic example of Republican do as I say not as I do. Paul has a much more recent and serious problem with plagiarism.
