So?

What's your point?

Be careful how you answer that.

It's a trick question.

I think Biden would do better in the general election than Bernie and probably Warren.

Other than Hillary's likability ratings, she still holds a commanding lead in both parties in the national polls.

Clinton-Castro in '16.

She does? What about the "Do You Trust Her" polls?

Vice President Joe Biden has the best favorability rating among top 2016 contenders in either party, and he would run a little better than Hillary Clinton in the general election, according to a new Quinnipiac University national poll released Thursday that also shows Donald Trump increasing his lead in the GOP race.

That is her best choice...it would be a juggernaut ticket.

If (and that's a big if) Joe jumps in the race wait'll the press starts in with the plagiarism scandal that sunk one of his previous bids and the Biden gaffe reels start playing on endless loops.

Mind you, Hills also had great favorability ratings until she jumped in, it seems typical that favorability ratings drop once the campaign gets going.

Call me ageist but Joe seems worn down from all the years in public service and he and the family are still grieving over Beau.

In closing, call me crazy but I see Joe as a team player and campaigning for Hillary. Give the old duffer a plum ambassadorship at the Court of St. James for his lifetime in public service.
