Because damnit, I won't stand for it!
We have to primary something!
Barack or Joe or Bo the Dog! Someone must be PRIMARIED!
Of course I'm being totally facetious here. But in all seriousness, what the hell did Joe Biden ever do to you?

Stop blaming others and creating conspiracy theories about the "democratic party Inc USaA" for your inaction. Any citizen over 35 can enter a presidential primary.

(14,400 posts)Joe Biden isn't Hillary Clinton. When certain people realized that there wasn't a snowballs chance in hell of Clinton performing a magic coup on Obama they decided to continue their little "oh wouldn't it be wonderful" dream and come up with imaginary pixies performing a Bidenectomy on the Administration and installing Hillary Clinton in his place.

NO other name has come up as an alternative.
This is about some people never getting over the notion that President Obama fooled voters into denying Hillary her 'rightful' ascent to th presidency, so apparently this is some kind of odd reparation.

(82,383 posts)Still, it's got more kick to it than the VPresidency. And is just as good for 2016, maybe more so.

(14,400 posts)for the sole reason of installing a woman is quite possibly the most politically naive thing I've ever read.
on edit: She has plenty of experience to run for pres in 2016 if she wants it. There is no need to have her in a VP position now or later.

(10,611 posts)That's all I got. Apparently some think that makes her a shoo-in for 2016, even though her husband wasn't anyone's VP.
And with all the so-called 'experience' she's bringing, why does she need the VP slot?
Doesn't make sense...unless one thinks President Obama "owes" it to her for taking 2008.
