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.

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.

The tour is likely to be seen as part of a move towards another run for the White House by Biden, whose book does not rule one out or suggest that his public life is over.

It even includes a detailed list of policies which he would have run on.

And it makes clear how Biden was convinced he would have beaten Clinton, who he called a 'vulnerable' candidate.

By early August of 2015, three months after Beau succumbed to brain cancer, Biden's ratings were higher than any other candidate in the race, despite the fact that he had not made an official decision to run.

The campaigns being run at the time, he writes, were 'dreary, small and personal' - another hit at Clinton's effort for the White House.

Biden's family were also confident he could take the presidency, he writes, saying they believed 'I was best equipped to finish the job Barack and I had started.'

In fact, if there were any doubts the VP would falter, they came from President Obama himself.

'In January 2015 the president was convinced I could not beat Hillary, and he worried that a long primary fight would split the party and leave the Democratic nominee vulnerable in the general election,' Biden writes.

Around that time, Obama had become 'preoccupied' with the question of whether Biden would run and had been 'subtly weighing in against' it.

'Barack and I knew, coverage in the West Wing would shift from his agenda to my chances. I also believe he had concluded that Hillary Clinton was almost certain to be the nominee,' he says.

By then, Clinton was already preparing to launch her campaign and became vigilant of Biden's moves.

He reveals a meeting the two had - and details how she offered an implied threat that she could not control her own supporters.

During a meeting in February 2015 at his Naval Observatory residence, she 'had an entirely new agenda' Biden writes.

'She started off telling me what a good vice president I had been, how much I had done for the country in my career...Then she pretty much asked me straight up if I was going to jump in.'

Biden told her he was not in a position to make the decision at the moment. His son's health was deteriorating but he did not tell her the full extent of the cancer the former soldier was battling.

'But if I ran, I told her, I would not run a negative campaign. She said the same,' he writes, but then she said: 'Although some of our supporters can get out of hand sometimes, it would not be me.'

That summer, when Biden started to receive calls from people encouraging him to run, he reveals there were also 'a few different kinds of messages being sent my way through the press.

'I just want the vice president to do what's right for him and his family,' Hillary said at a campaign stop in Iowa.'

She went on to sing his praises saying she had a great deal of admiration and affection for him, but by then, Biden says, 'the opposition research had already started on me.'

He does not say who it was from but he writes elsewhere of the 'Clinton machine' which Obama barely beat.

Biden reveals how he became the target of a political hit job in the media after a there was a story published about the community policing crime bill that he had created under Bill Clinton's term that the president had once heralded as a great step forward.

'He was now calling it a big mistake. That was followed by a story alleging I was cozy with the banking and credit card industry when I was a senator,' Biden writes.

'And Clinton backers sent the signal that they would not stop at voting records and policies if I did get in the race.'

But Biden said he focused on the 'calls of support,' which included one from George Clooney who was keen on joining his campaign.

'An executive in the entertainment industry had insisted that I had more support in the Hollywood community than Hillary. He said I could raise money without a problem. George Clooney got in touch with Steve Ricchetti soon after that,' Biden writes.

Clooney told his chief of staff: 'I love Joe Biden, and if he decided to do this I will step up with any and all assistance I can provide. I think I've proved I'm pretty good fund-raiser, so that's all anyone asks me to do. But I am invested in this. I am willing to take a campaign role if you want me.'

Clooney went on to become a major Clinton supporter, but his intervention suggests that she was his second choice.

Biden continued to gain momentum in the polls which ultimately scared Clinton's team.

'The head of AFL-CIO (American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations) was saying nice things about me, which was causing great consternation at Hillary's headquarters,' he writes.

Her team began placing calls to his aides which he described as 'fishing expeditions,' in which they would ask: 'So what are you guys up to? This isn't for real, is it?'

Although Biden had been making headway for months, he still hadn't made an official decision about entering the race.

In the immediate aftermath of Beau's death, just thinking about running for president was 'beyond me,' he says.

Beau had been his biggest supporter, having encouraged him to run from the get-go. But throughout the year, Biden struggled with his own grief and often doubted he had the emotional strength to campaign.

'If Beau had never gotten sick, we would already be running. This is something we would've done together, with enthusiasm. The thought of doing it without him was painful. But as the days passed, the idea of not running started to feel like letting him down, like letting everybody down,' he writes.

As the election year drew near, and there had been no official word of Biden's decision to enter the race, Beau's death inevitably became a political pawn.

In October 2015, Politico published a story titled: 'EXCLUSIVE: Biden himself leaked word of his son's dying wish,' which stated: 'Joe Biden has been making his 2016 deliberations all about his late son since August.'

'I should have seen this coming, I guess,' Biden writes. 'The Politico story exceeded even my worst expectations of what the opposition was going to be like. The idea that I would use my son's death to political advantage was sickening.'

It wasn't until later that month, that Biden had made up his mind that he would not run in the 2016 presidential election. The decision was influenced by his counselor Mike Donilon during a campaign meeting in later October.

'I don't think you should do this,' he said. It was the first time he had spoken against my running in the two years we had been talking about it.'

'I understood Mike wasn't speaking as a political strategist, because I knew how profoundly he believed in my candidacy and that he still believed, like I did, that we could win. He was speaking as a friend.'

That night, Biden made his decision and finally announced the next morning in the Rose Garden that he would not be running.

In his book, he also makes the shocking revelation that he struggled with the idea of serving as vice president in 2008, almost as much as he did with debating whether he'd run for president.

'[Obama] asked my permission to vet me, and I said no. 'I'll help you anyway I can,' I told him, 'but I don't want to be vice president.' I obviously didn't say this lightly,' Biden said.

'I had been in Washington long enough to watch eight different vice presidents, and I knew the history. The office itself has a long and storied career - as a punchline.'

Biden's reluctance also stemmed from the fact that if he took the job, he'd be doing something that he had not done for 40 years: working for somebody else.

After discussing the opportunity with his family, Biden came around the idea, and told Obama he needed to be 'the last guy in the room on every major decision,' to which Obama agreed.

'We got on the phone and told the entire family. And I didn't doubt for one moment that we had made the right decision.'

 

Hillary would have eaten him for lunch.
There wasn't anyone going to stop Hillary from getting the nomination of the democrats.
The idea that she couldn't win never entered the minds of the democrats.

 

I worked with a guy that ate two hotdogs every day for lunch.

 

Yup. Joe would have just been one more "botched robbery", in the long line of mysterious deaths associated with the Clinton Family Crime Syndicate.

 

When you copy and paste an article from the internet, you should identify the source, even if you do not want to post a web address. You should also excerpt the most important parts. T hat indicates that you understand what you found.

I found book reviews of this book on Amazon, Barnes & Nobel, and The New York Times. They made no mention of Biden's criticism of Hillary Clinton, so I suspect that the author of the article you copied and pasted exaggerated Biden's criticism.

 

Hey, Mr. Computer Genius. Clicky clickly on the yellow title. Give it a shot. Go ahead. It won't hurt you. Try it. Go ahead. I dare ya.

Then again, if you're too God damned stupid to know what a hyperlink is, maybe you shouldn't play in internet forums.

Better yet. Let's call this lesson "Distant Lover! Learn to hover!". Just hover over the hyperlink with your mousey cursor, then look in the bottom left of your browser.

 

Joe isn't as stupid as many people think he is.
He knows how easily a person can become the victim of a botched robbery or a suicide victim.

 

Starr Probe Reaffirms Foster Killed Himself

By Susan Schmidt
Washington Post Staff Writer
Saturday, October 11, 1997; Page A04

An exhaustive three-year investigation by the office of Whitewater independent counsel Kenneth W. Starr has reaffirmed previous findings that White House deputy counsel Vincent W. Foster Jr. commited suicide...

As part of its investigation, Starr's office consulted renowed medical and forensic experts, including Henry C. Lee, a crime scene expert who determined that the condition of the body and other physical evidence unequivocably demonstrate that Foster shot himself while seated on a grassy rise in the park, and Alan L. Berman, an expert in the field on suicide, who found that "to a 100 percent degree of medical certainty, the death of Vincent Foster was a suicide."

I am confident that other reports of murders caused by "the Clinton Family Crime Syndicate" are equally bogus.

The fact that there is a market for this kind of thing reveals ugly truths about the political culture of the United States. In the United States there are probably hundreds of thousands of white men who are so unhinged that they feel the need to hate Democrat leaders.

These are the same people who continue to believe that Barack Obama was born in Kenya, that he is either a Muslim or a Marxist, that he hates white people, that he wants the terrorists to win, and so on.

During the McCarthy Era Jean-Paul Sartre said, "America has the rabies."

One can see this right here on XNXX. It seems to be a growing problem.

Recently I read that the average white man in the United States makes less in constant dollars than he did in 1972, and that this is particularly true for white men without college degrees. I suspect that this contributes to the problem.

 

Your convulsive raving is unfortunately typical of posters of your persuasion.

 

1 out of about 145. Keep going.

 

By way, it must suck having people point out what an obvious hippo-crite you are, huh? Always preaching to the right, ignoring the same things from your buddies on the left.
