U.S. Vice President Biden: 'I Regret Not Running For President Every Day'



The Hill: Biden regrets not running for president 'every day'

Vice President Biden said Wednesday he regrets not running for president in 2016, but stressed it was ultimately the right call.

“I regret it every day but it was the right decision for my family and for me and I plan on staying deeply involved,” he said in an interview with Hartford, Conn., NBC affiliate WVIT.

It’s one of the first times Biden has publicly conveyed remorse about not jumping into the race to succeed President Obama.

Biden agonized over the decision for months during the late summer and early fall following the death of his son, Beau, from brain cancer.

But after road testing his campaign message and holding dozens of meetings with advisers and family members, he chose not to run, saying it was too late to mount a viable campaign.

WNU Editor: He should regret nothing. His decision to not run was the right decision, and he can now walk away knowing that he did his duty and that he is now free do something else.

  2. If the FBI charges Hillary Clinton for her private emails and violations on security protocols .... the Democrats have a problem.

  3. the democrats have lost the vote/faith of the silent majority...
    the media is spiraling, losing power at a much faster rate than we've seen...

    if no funny business occurs and the election isn't rigged for a democrat victory, the major issues have the democratic party buried under their own failing policy.

    the democrats already are in a world of pain it seems, this goes for the establishment republican guys too.....they are really one in the same.

    sidebar: if i did just a fraction of what hillary has done regarding classified information breaching or lying under oath, i would lose everything and be locked up in federal prison within a few seconds.
