Anyone have a “I told you so” quote?
from the “unfork Hillary” (long running thread)

Reasons:
he’s been there for a while, keeping him is seen as keeping the Obama legacy going, not rocking the boat.
good (neutral) public image; nobody hates him much.
well known to Hillary, they got along when she was SoS, no threat to her.
well known in Congress, gets along with them as well as anyone.
given his age, he won’t run after her, leaves the field open for any other Democrat who’s thinking of a post-Hilary run – no ‘designated successor’. So they’d support this.
his foot-in-mouth reputation is useful – he can float a trial balloon, easily deniable if it gets bad public reaction.
even easier to identify the Democratic candidates as the ‘experienced’ team.
So don’t count Biden out yet!

Perhaps it’s VP Joe Biden who can garner more votes than the obvious front runner Hillary Clinton. He has the Catholic vote and the military vote and the Jews aren’t mad at him and most important of all he has the white man vote.
In these next few months all the eyes will be on Hillary Clinton. I bet the reality of a woman running for POTUS has not yet set into everyone’s subconscious minds.
This is where she will lose if not in the Democratic primaries then surely against the likes of Jeb Bush or Marco Rubio.
Like it or not in the end a man will win.
Hillary should go all the way in and name a woman as her VP ahead of time because it will be a male against female race anyway

I must have missed something on the news, but I don’t see what you told us so.
Just a matter of time before Joe Biden jumps into the race …
He’s not thinking about running for POTUS he is running against Hillary on her way down.
Don’t see how that’s an “I told you so”.

In your quote, you said, “Perhaps it’s VP Joe Biden …” Biden has not yet announced that he is running, and if he does, he has yet to defeat Clinton. You haven’t told us nothing, except that you have a need for attention.
In re the comment about, “I bet the reality of a woman running for POTUS has not yet set into everyone’s subconscious minds.” It certainly has. It did so in 2008. There is no doubt that in 2008 the U.S. would have either its first black president or its first woman president.
At any rate, your “I told you so” (whatever it may be that you think you told us) has not yet occurred.
Yeah, I am not now convinced HRC’s sex is such a handicap.

Well, there was some doubt that the Democrat would win. And by the time that was certain, first woman president was off the table.
No there wasn’t. I had issued a decree that no Republican would ever again ascend to the Presibency.
It’s very early, and I probably need caffeine, but my brain inserted the word “tape” in your post. I’ll leave it to you all to guess exactly where.
