Clinton/Biden? (Hillary Group)

Joe stays on as VP for one or two more terms. The 22nd Amendment does not term limit Biden as VP. He doesn't have to run for President, but were anything to happen he's right there waiting. He cements his legacy and helps ensure stability in the party and in transition. Would this ever happen?

his heart is in running for President or he would have expressed interest months ago.

Hillary will of course make her own choice when the time comes, but I don't think Joe would be the right choice.

He might have been an interesting SECSTATE, but he's pretty much chased that horse from the barn. Bill Richardson has a better shot at that gig than he does, now.


Biden made calls encouraging people he'd ignored for seven years to be disloyal to Clinton. They told him to pound sand, which was the right thing to do.


Clinton/Castro is a better fit. We need young blood coming up in the party, and he's got some serious Big City Executive chops.

Hillary Clinton is very popular in Texas and Julian Castro would be a great running mate

He would be a great asset in this election, and it would give him national exposure. I definitely think he will run for the top spot later.

Even if Biden is not VP, I know he will be available for advice and assistance to the citizens of the US. He cares.

If Baden wants to remain in service, an Ambassadorship--UK, France--would be a good spot for him.

No offense, we are about the same age but we need to show that there are younger leaders in the party.
