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 Clinton’s.

“I don’t think any Democrat’s ever won saying, ‘We can’t think that big — we ought to really downsize here because it’s not realistic,’” Biden said. “C’mon man, this is the Democratic Party! I’m not part of the party that says, ‘Well, we can’t 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
