If you are thinking that a Biden run will for some reason be a good thing, need I say more? If Cheney thinks it's a good idea how could it possibly be?
"Former Vice President Dick Cheney said he hopes Vice President Joe Biden jumps into the 2016 presidential race."
"I'd love to see Joe get in the race," Cheney said Monday morning during a joint interview with his daughter Liz on CNN.
"Go for it Joe," Cheney added when asked why he thought Biden should run. "He's tried twice before, he obviously is interested. I think there's a lot of support for him in the Democratic party. I think it would stir things up. They're short candidates on their side."
Cheney also slammed Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton for using a private email server during her time as U.S. secretary of state.
"I think she should've known better," Cheney said.
Cheney said there was a "notion" that Clinton had "inherited" the nomination, but argued she faces more of a challenge now because of the email scandal.
"She does have some opposition now, and my bet is Joe’s going to run," Cheney said.

"But, if the chicken-hearted Democrats out there want him to run because of fears about Hillary Clinton's poll numbers, as represented by this latest Washington Post story then they are not only making a big mistake, they are handing Republicans a victory they don't deserve."
"The best way to explain the situation is to look at a classic American comic strip,Peanuts, which is still republished in original form (not new cartoons) even though its creator, Charles Schulz, passed away 15 years ago."
"In this parable, the Republicans are Lucy. They are forever putting down footballs, knowing what kind of response they will get. For purposes of this analogy, the "football" is the unprovoked, inaccurate, continually repeated attack. The latest iteration is the Clinton use of private email."
"This issue has nothing to do with her email. Nobody cared about Clinton's email until she ran for president. Clinton said as much at a campaign rally. She should dispense with the formalities of her Oct. 22 appearance before the House "Benghazi" Committee and say that to the Republicans' faces during the hearing."
"It didn't start there, of course. It started with the unfortunate incidents in Benghazi. But after a raft of reports and investigations, including from House Committees with Republican majorities, cleared Clinton, Republicans moved on to the issue of her email after establishing yet another committee and spending more government money to "investigate" further."
"It should be clear to anyone paying attention that Clinton did nothing wrong. She followed every law and protocol that was in place when she was Secretary of State. She did what others in similar and other offices have done."
"Republicans have actually conducted business from non-governmental accounts anderased millions of emails. There was no howling about that from outraged Republicans."
"Never mind about what she "should have known" or "could have known." None of that matters. The Republicans have continually leaked information, much of which has proven to be false and misleading. "
"Just as Lucy puts down the football every fall, the Republicans start in with the attacks. It's what they do."
"How far back do you want to go? Investigations of a crappy little land deal ended up in an impeachment. Al Gore, one of the most honest, forthright and intelligent people you would ever meet, ended up portrayed as a congenital liar. John Kerry, a decorated war hero, had his war record challenged. There's a verb for that now, "Swiftboating." Never mind that the charges were false. They were repeated and repeated until people accepted them."
"If the Republicans are Lucy, who is Charlie Brown? The Democrats, that's who. They play right into the hands of the GOP attack dogs by quivering in their boots and not looking at the big picture. Of course, Clinton's favorable are down."
Thank you Huffington Post. That is a great point. I would say it's not just the Dems who are Charlie Brown but the media who buys into every fake GOP scandal totally credulously. When does the little boy suffer loss of credibility for crying wolf- or the little girl with the football?
After being burned this many times when does Lucy get any skepticism?

I mean ask yourself: for what possible reason would Cheney want this? Becuase he thinks it will fuck up the Democratic race.
As we're having so much fun seeing Trump royally fuck up the GOP race why do Democrats want to give the GOP anything to hang their hats on?

I've had some friends on Twitter take issue with my posts on Biden. They feel I'm attacking Joe. Nothing if further from the truth and I understand with the personal tragedy of his son Beau's loss, this is very difficult for him.
My point is that from the standpoint of the Democratic party this is a terrible idea. The only reason to get bheind it is to accede to the GOP narrative that Hillary is a terrible person for using private emails even though so many ohter government officials at all levels both federal and at the state level have done the same.

As Biden and Hillary are pretty similar on the issues-if anything she''s to teh left of him on some issues-what is the basis of his campaign? A single issue campaign on emails. That's it.

P.S. By the way too much is being read into her favorables dropping from when she was not running for anything and had a basically nonpartisan role as Secretary of State.
