Discussion for article #240792
But when Biden was taken out of the survey, Clinton’s lead among Democratic voters became much stronger.
Of course it does. No offense to Bernie, some days I lean toward him and other days toward Hillary, but the MSM has been diluting Hillary’s lead by including Biden, who hasn’t declared, in these surveys for some time now. Because “horse race” “Hillary Derangement Syndrome”.

Biden getting in would probably be great for Hillary, because the news media narrative would cease to be about her emails and Bernie fever and become Joe vs. Hillary. It would be great for the Democratic Party because she’d have to actually defend her retro hawkishness against The Biden’s more dovish foreign policy positions, and we’d hear a real argument there. It would also force her to really account for that Iraq vote and figure out how to look hawkish without setting us up to get drawn into another series of stupid wars.
Either way, she’s the eventual nominee, barring an intern scandal or similar. How much more does Biden want to sacrifice for his party? He’s probably not looking for another hitch as VP.
CNN has a different take on this poll than does TPM: Poll: Clinton’s lead over Sanders grows.
