Even now, neither HRC’s nor Biden’s alcoholism is brought up in the press.

Though there is endless video footage of both — at many events — getting totally plastered.

I’ve heard that Biden is smashed after 8 PM virtually every day of the week. It wouldn’t surprise me.

Alcoholism is FAR more common among top politicians than the general public. For starters — they normally NEVER have to pick up a bar tab — and they are constantly feted with super high quality booze.

Yet this crippling infirmity is no baggage for either Democrat.

Campaign motto: “Let’s try someone from the real world for a change.”

Biden does just as well as Clinton in polls about Biden vs. the Republicans and Clinton vs. the Republicans. That doesn’t mean he’d win, of course, but it means he is quite competitive.

It is my impression most Democrats and many Independents would never vote for a Republican, so it almost doesn’t matter who the Democratic nominee is. And Warren’s femaleness would be more important to them than her leftism. The first female VP! That’s why Fiorina might be important (I also happen to like Fiorina no matter what her gender).

Try the “I have high cheekbones, so therefore I am Cherokee” shtick in Arizona, New Mexico or Oklahoma, and I have a feeling the real Native Americans won’t be quite so forgiving.

Also, with Warren running against Bernie’s crowd, her talk of ‘big banks’ can easily be refuted with her own income stream.

Biden’s just a dolt. He won’t do well as the main dude on the stage. These two will not get out the vote like Obama did. No way in hell.

Back in March I wrote that Obama was grooming Warren as his successor, rather than Hillary. I agree that that is even more clear today.

Correct, Hillary won’t back out gracefully. She’s being forced out by circumstance. The incremental revelations (ordered by Obama) of her sending classified information in ever more private emails is gradually destroying her viability as a candidate.

The polls show that it is working. Obama is gradually facing her with declining political support AND with the prospect of a formal investigation which if instigated, will result in prosecution and imprisonment. She’ll drop out before it gets that far.

Three events have now revealed Obama’s strategy. First was approving a letter signed by 300 of Obama’s former staffers urging Warren to run. Now, Biden seeking Warrens agreement to be his running mate. Obama’s formal announcement that he supports a Biden candidacy is the confirmation.

I wonder if you felt the same way about Romney vs Obama in ’12?

First, Hillary won’t back out gracefully.

When you have a wide load, it’s hard to back out gracefully.
