First Donna Brazile… Now Joe Biden.
It seems like everyone has a book coming out, and they all have something in common: they don’t paint a pretty picture of the Hildebeast.
In his new memoir, Joe Biden reveals that he thinks he would have won if he ran (I think he might be right) but that he “feared” the deeply personal attack campaign Hillary would run against him.
Having lost his son, and been embroiled in family drama, he didn’t think his family could handle it.
Whoa…
As I said… it doesn’t paint a pretty picture.
Joe Biden knew he was capable of beating Hillary Clinton in the presidential race – but decided not to run fearing a ‘stop at nothing’ campaign by her backers, the former vice president has revealed in his new memoir.
In Promise Me, Dad: A Year of Hope, Hardship, and Purpose, set to be released November 14, Biden reveals how he wrestled with the idea of running for office before and after his son Beau’s death, and even admits he did not want to be Obama’s vice president in 2008.
The book documents Biden’s life as President Obama’s tenure drew to a close and the media’s focus had shifted to the prospects of the presidency.
It is certain to fuel the bitter infighting in the Democrats which has lasted since they were shocked by Clinton’s defeat a year ago Wednesday.
Biden offers little direct personal criticism of Clinton but his message is unmistakable.
‘My numbers on trustworthiness, honesty, and empathy were as high as they had ever been. And I was strongest where the most formidable candidate, Hillary Clinton, was weakest: the key swing states like Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Florida,’ he writes.Clinton lost all of them in the election, part of the reason why she was defeated by Donald Trump.
DAAAAAANG.
Can we go ahead and assume Creepy Uncle Joe is on Hillary’s “To Suicide” list now?
And he speaks candidly of how he feared ‘opposition research which would ‘stop at nothing’ in the days before he announced he would not run.
Clinton was the only opposition to him – and what he does not say in the book is what ‘stop at nothing’ would mean.
But at the time his bereaved family was being torn apart by his surviving son Hunter’s bitter split from his wife amid accusations of blowing a fortune on drugs and sex with prostitutes.
Hunter then started a new relationship, with his brother Beau’s widow.
Biden is to start promoting the book with an appearance on the NBC’s Today show on Monday and an extended book tour which will see him appear on stage with big names including Stephen Colbert, Aaron Sorkin, the writer of the West Wing, and Maria Shriver, Arnold Schwarzenegger’s ex-wife and a member of the Kennedy clan.
That info all came out AFTER that election… and it was definitely scandalous.
Proof ABSOLUTELY NO ONE TRUSTS HILLARY
