Clinton was not my #1 choice, but this is a dumb way to start campaigning for president if that was Biden's intent.
Biden was the obvious choice. Why did he not run? Presumably someone at the DNC told him not to.
You aren't wrong though...
IIRC he didn't run because his son died and he didn't feel emotionally capable of doing a campaign, but he was actually a pretty big internal preference within DNC circles.
Yeah, I was aggravated to see that.
Biden mainly didn't run due to son dying (devastation), as I recall.

fair enough. I voted for Obama the first time, but I've never been a registered Dem. I would have voted for Sanders though. I don't really keep up with "the party"
