Howard Dean Doesn’t Think A Biden Presidency Makes Sense

Then-Senator Biden was accused of plagiarism during his 1988 presidential campaign.

Harpootlian was quick to point out that, “If the decision was being made purely on the politics of it, I don’t think there’s any question that he’d be in the race”. Clinton, who declared her candidacy in April, already has a huge advantage in funding and organization. And I think that would be a problem for Joe. See the latest poll numbers here.

Joe Biden, pictured hugging his son Beau at the 2008 Democratic National Convention in Denver, is considering a presidential bid for the Democrats as Hillary Clinton has been losing ground in the polls to Republican rivals. Having excused Clinton’s conduct for so long and entered “denial mode” since her announcement, Democrats are belatedly realizing their “inevitable” candidate could potentially be an indictable one.

What would voters get if Biden presented himself as a candidate for president?

“But I’m not so sure that the people who are rallying to support Bernie Sanders would be easy to peel off”, Franck said.

Forty-six percent of likely primary voters say Biden should launch a White House campaign, while 42 percent say he should stay out. At that time, a third of Democrats said they would definitely support her – about twice the number who are ready to commit to Biden today. “I think I would match up very well against him“, Trump told conservative talk show host Hugh Hewitt on Wednesday night. Beau Biden, a handsome JAG officer and Delaware Attorney General who was thought to have a big political future, passed away May 30 and reportedly had been urging his father to run during his final days, which could obviously have a profound impact of Biden’s decision.

Few humans, let alone politicians, have been tested like Joe Biden has, so running for president will not seem like a mountain to climb for him.

The DNC seems to be circling the wagons for Hillary at this point and have announced a primary debate schedule that will give her opponents little opportunity to make a dent in her enormous early advantage.

For a time, Biden was viewed by some as a serious challenger to Clinton.
