Am I missing something?
I believe it was Obama who put that idea in Biden's head..neither Bernie nor Hilary was going to beat Trump, Biden would have.
Hillary won the popular vote. And she would have won if one week before the election Comey had not come up with that BS of re-opening the investigation.
Mind you: I did not like her as a candidate; she is polarizing too. But she would have made a reasonable president.
The irony of Comey being indicted by trump after handing the election to trump is not lost on me.

i dont know about that, but then that is purely hypothetical.. the first time I saw Hilary speak, she was so ... nothing, I said to everyone in earshot - no way she can win this. . the only reason she wants to be President is one-upmanship on her husband, who was a great politician..

The East Wing was built in 1902 & rebuilt in 1942, long after asbestos was used as a fire retardant. So, I’m sure the White House took steps to prevent a known carcinogen from entering the air during the current willy-nilly demolition.

Kidding! These irresponsible assholes don’t care who they kill.

But Ashkor, you started this conversation by saying that Obama stopped Biden from running in 2016, and that Biden would have won that year, which is both speculative and hypothetical. So, what is it?

This is no shade to Chicago but this actually started in LA. They bought out a ton of vendors to keep them home.

I thank any police officer I see for protecting us from ICE, just to make sure that seed is planted in their head.
