Biden Team Calls Report on 2016 Leak 'Categorically False'

Source: NBC News

Vice President Joe Biden's team is now pushing back on a Politico report that Biden himself, while eying a presidential bid, leaked an account of his dying son's wish that he seek the Democratic nomination.

"The bottom line on the Politico story is that it is categorically false and the characterization is offensive," said a spokesperson for Biden.

After her campaign let it be known if Joe runs she would destroy him him it would not surprise me.

She'd have to be a vicious power hungry ruthless self entitled unfeeling high school drama queen willing to destroy the vision of a father's love for his son in order to have her way.
</sarcasm>

This bit of news didn't come out at this point without someone powerful pushing it.

It's like all those polls, similar in showing HRC in a positive way, clustered in the past two or three days. The Clinton Campaign spent a million dollars by July of this year on polling alone.

Every pollster knows you can choose your polling population from the larger population in order to create any result you want.

This is why it is important to encourage people to attend Bernie Sander rallies. It is the proof that the polls are wrong.

But after two Aneurysms and being over 70, I have my doubts if he is the best candidate. But compared to Hillary I would take him every time. Hillary is a DINO no matter how you slice it.

A mind reader too I see. Actually I linked to the 3rd paragraph, just click on it and the whole article is there.

The only subject he posted about was this one, not very subtle. If he was professional political troll, he wasn't very good at it.

where Joe Biden and President O are in 'the private sector'. They will be 'free' to say & do a hell of a lot more without that republican/Corp dominated 'worse congress in history' ball and chain.

14. Well, there's that and plus I don't think it is a good idea to fracture the party . . .

. . . in to any more pieces than it is already.

I'm fairly certain that O'Malley, Webb, and Whatzhizname probably agree with me.
