(11,945 posts)First he makes comments on the Democratic race that suggest he favors Bernie, then he shows up in Iraq by surprise, and now he's meeting with the Pope.
So much publicity all of a sudden!

(57,936 posts)He needs the Pope's blessing for that.
Biden helped pass the Bankruptcy Bill of 2005 which has blocked bankruptcy as a means to discharge or end the burden of student loans. That bill also expanded the definition of student loans. And the Pope is blessing him. Other than that, I guess Biden is OK. I used to like him a lot. But I think that student loans and all debt should be dischargeable in bankruptcy. If Donald Trump can take big corporations built in part with other people's money into bankruptcy, then people suffering under the burden of student debt, people who are often unable to pay their debt because they have low-paying or no work, should too. That's my belief.
Feel the Bern!

(11,945 posts)So much news all of a sudden for Biden. He's not my favorite, but he's at least normal, sane, and not horrendously corrupt.
But what's happening is interesting...

(57,936 posts)And Bernie has gone through the entire primary season. It would be an insult to Bernie supporters if the DNC tried to foist Biden on us should Hillary drop out.
I would not vote for Biden for president for that reason.
Also, he is not a good debater.

(11,945 posts)I've seen and heard things that he has said and done that tell me he is Third Way, jaded, working for the oligarchy and not the people. No, I have no intentions of voting for Biden if Hill gets indicted (cannot imagine her dropping out, she is so obsessed).
I am with Bernie all the way; he is the ONLY candidate who offers tangible hope for the American people. Yes, it would be an insult to Bernie and to us, as well as a tip-off from the oligarchy, if Biden were offered as a replacement for Hillary -- or even a Third Way alternative for dejected conservadems.
The interesting thing about Biden's suddenly elevated profile is what it suggests about what's going on behind the scenes. An indictment should have an impact on Hill's chances of winning the primary or the GE. I find her dishonesty, Wall Street ties, corrupt practices while SOS, mysterious foundation, secrecy, vindictiveness -- the whole package -- frightening. Would never want someone like that anywhere near the Oval Office.
Anyway, it looks like something's brewing.
