Which could possibly turn it into more of a three-way race.

I think Bernie's supporters and Hillary's supporters look at it all from two different angles. The BerniePeople see a possibility for a truly transformative moment. The HillaryPeople see a safe and competent person, with perhaps better odds for winning it all.

To think that Bernie's supporters are only in it because they hate Hillary is, to be blunt, a crock.

Definitely NOT worth a read - sounds like PSYOPS to me underthematrix Aug 2015 #1

LOL, what could he possibly do to Sanders! nt Stellar Aug 2015 #5

Oh that's easy. A pro-Biden PAC could put together a video of Sanders self IDing as Socialist stevenleser Aug 2015 #9

Wishful thinking. Nothing more. nt onehandle Aug 2015 #3

If Hillary or her surrogates go negative on Joe, expect there to be massive blowback. askew Aug 2015 #4

and if Joe goes negative on Hillary...the same thing. nt Stellar Aug 2015 #6

I don't think so at all. askew Aug 2015 #7

Joe is far too savvy to go negative on Hillary magical thyme Aug 2015 #15

No need for Hillary to chime in. Anita Hill and Emily's List will oasis Aug 2015 #16

What if the intent of the meeting is that he would "sponsor" an Elizabeth Warren candidacy? karynnj Aug 2015 #12

The idea that Sen. Warren could ever be a running mate for Joe Biden is laughable. Zorra Aug 2015 #18
