Was Biden just used as a placeholder to beat Bernie?

The more and more Biden embarrasses himself and is clearly senile, the more I believe this. Biden had the name recognition and following in urban communities to pull ahead of Bernie. The rest of the field was incredibly weak. Let Biden beat Bernie, take the brunt of Trump’s attention until summer, swap him with someone like Hillary or Cuomo in June or July. Doesn’t really seem that improbable to me.

Very plausible.

I’ve been saying it will be Hillary.

I’m not sure why the establishment left is so against the Bern...they all embrace his socialist policies very tightly. Maybe cause the Bern is open about it and the establishment left is trying to sneak it in on us.

Even better, he picks Hillary as his VP. She promises to throw him a beautiful state funeral and to shed a couple of tears.

I refuse to believe HRC is going to let herself be defeated 3 times in her illustrious career for a run at the White House. The last attempt was bad enough.

Tucker had a good point the other night: Biden is just an empty vessel that can be controlled by the Dem power brokers. Biden will do whatever the hell he is told to by the Democratic establishment and their supporters. They couldn't control Bernie

The fact that they might continue pushing forward with a guy who doesn’t even know where he is half the time and can’t stay awake for 5 minutes, is starting to seem much less probable.

I swear anyone who thinks Biden is a grade A fricking moron. He's a puppet they will fill his cabinet with deepest of state people his VP pick will be a yes woman. You will barely see Biden the 4 years and when you do it will be a pre recorded message. The deep state will own the presidentcy with no one to answer to because Biden is senile. He just wants the glory then after his first term his VP will run in his place.

Yes, and to keep Hillary out of the ring and fresh for her to jump in at or right before the Convention.

You didn't think she was done did you?

I really thought all along that they were going to let the socialists scare the shite out of the rest of the party then (Like what happened) creepy Joe starts to look like a sane option. Then as things progressed I saw that creepy Joe's mental state on showcase is only to make people forget Hillary is a lying criminal kunt and Status Que Washington scumbag so she'll arrive just in time to save the party and America..

IMO, Idiot voters will fall for it this time.

We're fricked get used to it.

No.

Cuomo wasn't even on the radar when election season began and Creepy Uncle Joe didn't seem nearly as dementia-addled (because he had stayed out of the public spotlight, which would end up becoming an increasing theme for him as his candidacy gained momentum). It's a very telling tale when your popularity rises because your own campaign limits your public exposure (as we saw with Joe in the Fall).

Not only that but Bernie was beating everyone at the onset. If they were wanting to push someone to beat Bernie they wouldn't have put up someone who had never won a single primary despite having run for the candidacy multiple times.

This doesn't mean there couldn't be a swap at the convention, there absolutely could (and probably should). What it does mean though is that this wasn't some long-running Littlefinger type of plan from the beginning.

Hillary is just as happy to play that role and she’s at least sentient most of the time.

Of course but I don't think they have anyone yet. I am thinking whoever it is...Cuomo? HRC has been promised to be AG and Obama SCOTUS.

Notice HRC got a big time facelift and new hair-do. She is prepping for her new job some where.

Seriously, just exactly who do folks think is responsible for the timing of the Reade allegations surfacing/resurfacing?

This is a Clinton machine play from the old playbook.

The MSM like to play up DJT as the OG "Birther", but that 100% started with the 2008 HRC campaign.

ANOTHER Cabinet position ain’t satiating her desires.

Yeah, but she didn't have mail in voting then.
