I love what Biden is doing!

[anotherproletariat]

If ever there was a party guy, it's Joe Biden. By having him come out as an ally of the Sanders movement, he is creating trust between himself and the Sanders minions. I do think he is being honest with saying that he thinks Dems should think big, and heck...most of us like the basic ideas which Sanders espouses, we just don't see them as practical (or even workable) at this time in history. So, I'm not saying that he is in any way lying with his comments. BUT, I do think it is a planned strategy to help unite the party once Sanders leaves the race. If Biden was really gun-ho pro-Sanders, he wouldn't have waited until after the crushing defeat in New York (when all hope was pretty much lost) to voice his opinion. Given his strong ties to the Democratic Party, of course he will be the first one there to console the Sanders folks, and gently guide them towards Hillary. And after his comments, he will be much more trusted than any other party spokesman.

Honestly, it makes me like Joe just a little bit more.

1. Together with the Oregonian Senator that endorsed him!

This Senator said at the time of his BS endorsement that unifying the party with the Dem nominee was important! Very respectful of HRC while endorsing BS!

5. I actually think it's authentic.

With Joe, what you see is what you get. I'm personally not happy with him for what he doing, I don't think it helps.

6. Uncle Joe is a sweetheart but half the time he says the exact wrong thing.

Just thank god he isn't our nominee. We would always be waiting for the other shoe to drop.

8. I don't know. He and POTUS are so close I can imagine a conversation about it

They'd see, along with the rest of Dem leadership, that making sure that noisy greens or leftists don't disrupt progress in the GE.

Whether this was orchestrated or not, some of that kind of thing will happen.
