Joe Biden is saying he regrets his decision to not run for President:
Why would he say this? If the conventional wisdom is accurate, Hillary Clinton has smooth sailing to the nomination. Biden knows that he would have no chance of getting the nomination if Hillary is in the race. That is why he didn’t run in the first place. Something has changed his mind. Perhaps he believes Hillary’s days are numbered. The latest e-mail dump includes one that could be beyond devastating.
Or perhaps, he has Democratic fat cats whispering in his ear. In spite of the stupid things said publicly, one must assume that at least some top Democrats are no fools. They have to know that Hillary is in deep trouble. She could easily lose the nomination to Bernie Sanders who is likely to get slaughtered in a national election. Would it be a surprise to learn that some of them are reaching out to Biden and asking him if he is interested? Biden looks like a really bad option, until you look at the rest of the Democratic bench. I doubt that anyone is really enthusiastic about Biden as a candidate, but we may be close to the “any port in a storm” stage.
