Joe Biden @JoeBiden
Scranton families like the Bidens know the meaning of hard work and giving your kids a better life.







Those are the values that Joe Biden brought to the White House & they're the values @HillaryClinton will bring, too.

Joe Biden to campaign with Hillary Clinton, making the case for her to working-class voters

Michael A. Memoli

For Vice President Joe Biden, campaigning in 2016 looks a lot like 2008 and 2012 but with one big difference: He’s not on the ticket.

Biden passed on a run for the White House last year, and on Monday he’s to appear alongside Hillary Clinton for the first time to kick off his role as her chief envoy to the middle class and as a determined critic of Republican nominee Donald Trump. They are scheduled to campaign in working-class Scranton, Pa., Biden’s hometown.

Biden will join other Democrats who’ve cast Trump as unfit to lead, aides to the vice president say, and he’ll go further to aggressively counter Trump’s efforts to appeal to working-class voters, whom Biden has courted with success in his more than four decades in politics.

Aides also incorporated an even greater foreign policy component to the vice president’s planned remarks, given Trump’s scheduled speech on fighting terrorism later Monday. Biden will argue that Trump’s bluster and volatile rhetoric would make Scranton, and the nation, less safe, a spokesperson for the vice president said.


But Biden is also expected to testify to Clinton’s credentials and empathy, portraying her as the nominee who understands the challenges faced by the working class. It’s a role that Biden played for President Obama in 2008 and particularly in 2012 amid continued economic unease. He famously paired a foreign policy and economic case for the president’s reelection: “Osama bin Laden is dead, and General Motors is alive.”........................

Karen Macek, speaking before HRC-Biden, just emotionally hit Trump for mocking a disabled reporter. Macek's daughter has the same ailment.
