2016 Postmortem
Showing Original Post only (View all)Biden hits back at Clinton's criticism of Sanders [View all]
Vice President Joe Biden may think America is ready for its first female president, but in this Democratic presidential primary, he prefers some of Bernie Sanders messaging over Hillary Clintons.
I like the idea of saying, We can do much more, because we can, Biden told The New York Times in an interview published Thursday.
Clinton, a former Obama administration official, has criticized Sanders on the trail for his bold proposals, suggesting that his policies arent pragmatic.
I dont think any Democrats ever won saying, We cant think that big we ought to really downsize here because its not realistic, Biden said. Cmon man, this is the Democratic Party! Im not part of the party that says, Well, we cant do it.

There goes Biden under the bus... and like him, I really cannot really get that excited over the NO WE CAN'T messaging. At least I know that. Of course this means some Biden fans will no longer be Biden fans. I just found that story extremely funny

Haven't always been a huge fan of Biden, but THAT sounds like a democrat!
