Is Biden going to run?

If Hilary loses NH (which she likely will to Bernie) and/or Iowa, Biden may not be able to resist the temptation. I hope he runs. He has a penchant for saying incredibly stupid things, but he'd be a lot mor epalatable to me than Hilary. I'd like to see Biden win the nomination and pick Princess Lies Through Her Teeth as his running mate.

I doubt it. Having said that if Hillary's scandals keep pushing her down in the polls, he may decide to jump in. As of now, she is still the the presumptive nominee.

I doubt it. Hillary's "scandals" aren't likely to sink her. The Clinton's have a very effective team running their long-game strategy.

- Yes the Clinton machine is very good at bribing lying cheating navigating their way out of trouble


I wish the American people focused on her criminally negligent and improper use of personal email servers as much as they focus on whether or not Brady asked his equipment people to drop the footballs .5 PSI below regulation.

Yes, her team is so effective, that she's polling behind Rubio and Walker and Bush in places like Colorado

You're correct, team Mainstream Media, is very effective and covering up her sins.

You have to keep in mind, they were dead broke when they left the White House, despite the fact that they stole everything that wasn't bolted down. That was another minor scandal, they sacked the White House and Air Force One on their way out, and then had to pay the federal government for what they stole. But that's all OK, because they are targets of a vast right wing conspiracy.

Everything they could squeeze into the moving van. Here's an article from ABC.

A quote..."they were criticized for taking $190,000 worth of china, flatware, rugs, televisions, sofas and other gifts with them when they left"

http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/Story?id=121856&page=1

Who can blame them, being dead broke and all?

Your own article notes it was a cataloging error where gifts were being noted as personal and not White House property.

No, the article does not say a cataloging error occurred. What the article said was, and this is a quote from Clinton's transition team, "IF the White House now determines that a cataloging error occurred, ... any item in question will be returned.”

Of course! It's not possible that they are a pair of morally bankrupt ghouls. There's always, always, always, an excuse. In this case, the Koch Brothers probably snuck in, in the middle of the night, and changed the codes on the items.

It depends on what your definition of the word "is", is. Right, Spence?

He probably wanted the rugs as a reminder of all his DNA that's in there.

The article notes it through a quote. That's a pretty rational explanation. If it's not true there should be hard evidence that shows the Clinton's took items cataloged as White House property.

Is there?

Well, after they got caught, they returned some things, and wrote a check for some other things.

But I am sure you are right, I am sure exiting presidents usually take rugs and TVs out of there.
