2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumDid Biden say anything in that speech that made you say "damn, I wish he ran now?"
It had the exact opposite effect on me.
Particularly, his take on gridlock which seemed to echo Obama's "don't blame Republicans" shtick.
I doubt that Hillary's policies will be any different from Biden's would have been, but maybe she would be less like the wife of a wife beater who claims she fell down the stairs instead of got punched by her husband like Obama and apparently Biden prefer to do.

I feel bad for him, I know his dreams have been squashed, and he had as much right to run

But i could never get past his history on things like barkuptcy and the drug war. He was always a non-starter with me.
