This has puzzled me for 4 years. Why didn't Biden run? He would have been the hands down favorite to win. Was it her turn, did Bill strongarm the DNC to fuck over other candidates, and Joe decide he wasn't going to go down that road with Hillary in the race?
Idk, MSM kept saying it was because Beau Biden had recently died. I called BS. But yeah, it was "her time" and Biden and Hillary both in 2016 would have given the DNC fits.
How are you puzzled? You answered the question(s). The Clintons had the reigns. Joe was told to stand down.Quote:

:lol incels don't believe the death of a child could be an influence.
DNC wanted to push Clinton, DNC and 99% of democrats had no idea the severe hatred and polarity associated with Clinton name amongst moderates and right wingers.
He'd have won in 2016, knowing what we know now, imo.
Joe was ordered to stand down. Come to terms.Quote:

Yup it’s the same reason Warren, Sherrod Brown and all the other rumored names in 2016 didn’t run. There was clearly a DNC agenda to clear the path for Shillary.Quote:

You wouldn't grieve at all.:tuQuote:

Derp would grieve, bigly, as he has been dickmatized by trump.Quote:

This is the most idiotic, naive and childish thing I've read on here in quite some time. If you lose a child you never get over it. You grieve for the rest of your life. You try to hard to be edgy but you come off as a green and know-it-all dipshit.Quote:

You have the popularity of Obama and the incoming threat of the GOP, not running the guy who was most closely associated with your b2b winner makes no real sense. Hillary had no experience to fall back on, but Joe had 8 years as the VP and many more in congress. Seems like a no brainer. Maybe because he was a white male? Maybe because Obama broke the color barrier for the POTUS the female barrier was next, and the DNC got more caught up in identity/footnote politics than in running a good candidate? If Joe can win 4 years later, he'd have been a shoo in at that time
Even RBG wasn't going to retire until Hillary became POTUS.
Like Andrea Yates, Casey Anthony etc grieved hard for their dead children tbh? Never mind Davy Crockett, Daniel Boone, etc... losing kids that got murdered by filthy American Indians. They sucked it up.Quote:
