Hillary Clinton: "No evidence" Joe Biden could steal her 2016 support
By Stephanie Condon - CBS News

Hillary Clinton, the frontrunner for the Democratic presidential nomination, said Wednesday she has "seen no evidence" that Vice President Joe Biden would freeze some of her Democratic support if he were to jump into the race.

The former secretary of state also told reporters in Iowa that Biden has yet to fill her in on how seriously he's considering his own White House bid.

"And I have not asked for that," she added. "I just want the vice president to decide to do what is right for him and his family," she said.

Clinton stressed the hardships Biden has endured, including the death in May of eldest son, Beau.

"It has to be really really hard for him," she said. "I was at his son's funeral, I can't really imagine the grief and the heartbreak."

Clinton said she as "a great deal of admiration and respect" for Biden. "He has to make a very difficult decision for himself and his family, and he should have the space and opportunity to decide what he wants to to."

Biden is expected to make that decision by the end of September...

1. (bernie)... bernie... Bernie... BERNIE!

[font size=12]BERNIE![/font size]

[Fred Sanders]

2. This is encouraging for all of us. The mass media is now covering and distorting Democratic Party primary

candidates statements based on "words clipped from whole sentences".

"There is no such thing as bad publicity"....how much more obviously true is that old maxim lately?

[WillyT]

4. Maybe... But When They Use Quote Marks... Is Usually Means That That's What They Said...

[seabeyond]

6. poorly written. i have seen no evidence and i have not asked for that.

is that is what she is saying. the quote was so chopped up to get a

from people.

her full statement was perfectly fine, nice, professional. i gotta assume the other part was too, but media had to make something out of it.

[Fred Sanders]

19. Any article with a chopped up quote followed by a solemn analysis and opinion of the chopped speech is a red

flag for me...always. Not respecting context gets no respect from me from anyone or source...it is inherently dishonest.

They are not called "scare marks" for nothing.

[seabeyond]

28. BB put up the video. watch that. such the fuckin opposite of what is being created here. nt

[George II]

3. Sorry, I miss the point of the OP. Can you explain?

[seabeyond]

7. exactly. this is not the first OP and like, something is suppose to be mouth dropping. nt

8. Sounds Too Much Like This...

20. "There are a lot of people that are just going 'Really? You guy's can't get anything done?

"People are really aggravated at the government right now," McCaskill, a Hillary Clinton supporter, told CNN's "New Day" on Wednesday. "There are a lot of people that are just going 'Really? You guy's can't get anything done? All you do is fight.'"

what is this bullshit. i get posts of yours and i have to peruse the story to see if the "quote" is accurate. where in that article did you find

Look Claire... I Know His Son Recently Died, But Really... REALLY ???

i will waste my time perusing article agian, but i saw that... like, NOWHERE

did you make it up?

surely not

[seabeyond]

23. she talks about caring about biden, and concerned

"I'm worried if he does and doesn't do well, it will be hurtful to him, and we all care about him deeply," McCaskill said.

nope. looked again.

you made up a fuggin bogus quote?

[SonderWoman]

5. She's probably right...

The not-Hillary crowd already chose sides. If anything, Biden getting in the race would peel support from the not-Hillary candidates.

[HereSince1628]

13. The polls with and without Biden suggest only slight differences, votes go to OMalley or Webb

or they do not.

Sanders isn't much impacted by Biden, but he might be cut back by Warren coming in.

I think it's pretty clear that Clinton has rock solid support somewhere around 40% give or take, unless she gets indicted.

[Metric System]

9. Huh? I don't get the "wow."

[WillyT]

10. There Are Things... Better Left Un-Said...

[Metric System]

16. Well that certainly clarifies things.

[WillyT]

18. It Started With One Of Her Supportes/Surragates...

[leftofcool]

11. If Joe's runs, I predict Hillary 56% Joe 50% Sanders 1%

[WillyT]

14. Maybe... Did You Read This:

[HereSince1628]

15. 107 % voting would suggest electoral fraud

[WillyT]

17. :)

You bad...

[HereSince1628]

21. It's a consequence of living in Wisconsin.

I can't turn off my YOU-ARE-CHEATING!!! radar.

But sometimes there REALLY IS a person out there cheating.

[boston bean]

12. Here is the video with no cuts

start at 3:28 listen, then forward to 7:28 to hear the remarks as they were actually spoken, not sliced and diced for some ridiculous news article, spamming for clicks.

[KMOD]

22. Thank you for adding this video for clarity, bb

Classy, and professional, as usual.

[Fred Sanders]

26. Without the chopped up quotes one might think otherwise...which I guess was the whole point.

I second your thanks...for Truth.

Folks need to get it that this kind of distortion of free speech stuff does Sanders, or the Party, no favors.

[Historic NY]

32. So I guess thats explain her full position and not the wordsmithed clips people believe she said.

[MaggieD]

25. Welp, there goes another fake HRC smear

Right down the toilet. It does get old though.

[seabeyond]

27. thanks BB. i am seeing another OP of his he linked to. so fuckin chopped i cant make heads or tail

to see if i missed something, or just blatantly dishonest.

[boston bean]

29. Welcome. Happy to help cut through the shit at any time! LOL

Helps to actually see and hear for oneself, no?

[seabeyond]

31. gosh BB, difference between night and day, darkness and light, good and bad. lol. nt

[BainsBane]

38. Funny how every time Clinton makes a statement

Someone manages to clip out certain parts, sometimes out of context, other times simply trying to may hay out of nothing. Or they post an article and leave out central paragraphs with key facts essential to an understanding of the story, as though the whole truth doesn't suit their purposes.

[boston bean]

40. uh huh. And it's so easy to debunk.

Weird. Strange. Malicious?

[seabeyond]

42. lol? nt

[leftofcool]

44. Doesn't Fox News do this?

[George II]

45. Two versions of a possible statement by Clinton (fiction, not real):

What she might really say: "I hate the way the press is treating Bernie Sanders during this campaign."

How the press might portray it: "I hate...Bernie Sanders."

[Fred Sanders]

48. AP left out entire paragraphs of a single facility nuclear inspection agreement...to try to boost the GOP!

On purpose they left highly relevant paragraphs out to push an agenda that coincidentally coincided with the GOP...funny how that happens!

[William769]

35. Thanks bosotn bean.

what more need be said.

[BainsBane]

36. I don't see what could possibly be wrong with that response

Or why some think choosing particular snippets helps them make a case against Clinton.

One point she continually makes is worth nothing. She says, I hope to "earn the votes of as many people as I can." Voters' support indeed has to be earned. It is not due anyone, as some seem to assume for their own candidate.

[sheshe2]

39. Thanks for the clarity, boston bean.

Truth!

[riversedge]

53. thanks BB. I am

beyond frustrated with this nonsense--and deceit.

[seabeyond]

24. i watched the video. i am appalled that you made it out the way you did. i am seeing another

interview you chopped the hell out of to make it something it wasnt.

she was very caring.

that is horrible

[WillyT]

30. Reading Is Fundamental... Complain To CBS...

But I'm glad you're feeling better.

[seabeyond]

33. Look Claire... I Know His Son Recently Died, But Really... REALLY ???

where did that one come from on the other OP you link us to?

[WillyT]

37. I Try To Put The Source In The Subject Line... If It Fits...

But I also mention them up top, and provide a link below...

So what's your point ???

[Fred Sanders]

34. "WOW!" CBS? But, seriously, we should all complain to CBS for this and a lot more, that I am with you 100%!

Clinton is the victim of distortion now, who will it be later?

Even if it is someone else I will be here with the same observations....media distortions are not a "WOW!!!"...ever

[freshwest]

41. Add that to those saying HRC should drop out of the race. The video shows she won't. n/t

[Thinkingabout]

43. Hillary had a great news conference, was handled just as she does others.

[moobu2]

46. This is a very deceitful OP

She said no such thing.

[WillyT]

47. Glad You Liked It...

[moobu2]

49. I didnt say I liked it but I've sure come to expect deceit

from people who support Bernie Sanders. I'm not sure why you people feel you need to resort to that though.

[olddots]

50. oh now I'm really feeling the Bern

zip it ....zip it zip it !

[riversedge]

51. Where is the quote please. I only see pharphasing, editorializing and commentary

in the article.

[seabeyond]

52. BB put up the video. NOTHING what this article is saying or OP is implying.

[senz]

54. I don't know what the Hillary supporters are so excited about.

There's nothing unflattering in the OP quotes.

What I find interesting is that Joan Walsh, a serious Hillary supporter, wrote a hit piece on Joe Biden this morning. She does not want him to run. No sirree.

Gee, I wonder why?

[jfern]

55. I guess she doesn't bother to check polls

Even though she's spent over $1 million on them.

[Renew Deal]

56. She's correct

Te polling shows that she takes a little from both her and Sanders, and isn't that close to either.
