The establishment is panicking as the Clinton email scandal continues to spiral. Biden is being continually pressured to join the race, and it's looking like he will.
I think it has more to do with Biden feeling like its his last shot. I don't think the establishment is pushing him as much as he sees blood in the water with the whole email scandal and is ready to pounce. Especially since it's pretty publicly known that his son who died of cancer told him he should run one last time.
I welcome Biden jumping in. Split the Hillary folks and give Bernie more leeweigh to perform. Biden won't become president, anyhow.
I think Biden might be more of a Republican then Trump! "We honestly know that most of the government programs we run don't work, that the minimum wage is bad policy, and that there truly is a limit on how much you can tax the rich, but do you think that message appeals to our more uneducated base? Of course not. If you want to win elections you have to tell people what they want to hear, and that includes telling them that government economic intervention works and the rich are evil.†--Joe Biden Also you can tell me that I watch House of Cards too much but I think the Obamas and the Clintons hate each other. The Clintons like the Bush's feel they are entitled to political office, 2009 really pissed them off. Remember a lot of that Obama birther stuff came from the Clinton campaign. So Obama likes Biden and wants him to essentially be his third term and keep the White House and the Party out of the control of the Clintons. Obama new about this email scandal and probably knows there is more to it then the public knows and soon hillary will have to leave the race. In his final days as President he is removing the Clintons (who have always been a different kind of democrat then the Obama hyperprogressive wing of the Democratic party). We are essentially seeing a Democrat Civil War. The question is will the Clintons back down and lose power, or will they go nuclear on Obama and try and sabotage him or his legacy. Personally I think Obama is going to win, he can be pretty smart when it comes to saving his ass. Then again so can the Clintons. This calls colbert popcorn meme.
From what I understand it's pretty well known that there is animosity between the two camps. Obama's style threatened their neoliberal policies, forced them to the left on certain issues, and then dethroned Hillary who was the establishment favorite. If I was in her situation id probably be a little salty as well. I'm a fairly liberal guy, and even I think clinton just seems like an uptight misleading cunt. Not much that's likable about her and it always feels like she's trying to be something which she perceives people will enjoy (definition of a politician). Like whenever she makes jokes or tries to come across as normal she fails miserably cause she just isn't. I love watching her struggle to muster excuses whenever she gets asked about an email question. I'm glad that the American electorate is starting to see through the establishment bullshit even if it means we get a Trump presidency. Let's just pray we don't end up with a Clinton or Bush in office.
