Biden: ‘I Believed I Was’ Most Qualified Candidate For President

Daily Caller: Former Vice President Joe Biden said in an interview with Oprah Winfrey that he believes he was the most qualified person to be president in 2016.

A portion of Biden’s exclusive interview with Winfrey was aired on ABC’s “Good Morning America” on Thursday morning. Biden discussed why he regrets not being president and also why he didn’t run in 2016.

“I have a regret that I am not president,” Biden said, “because I think there is so much opportunity.”

Biden said that he believes he would have been the most qualified person to run for president in the 2016 race, perhaps a knock at former secretary of state Hillary Clinton.

 

“Oprah, no woman or man should announce they’re running for president unless they can answer two questions,” Biden explained. “One, do you truly believe you’re the most qualified person at the moment — I believed I was.”

When Clinton announced her candidacy in the 2016 race, then-president Barack Obama called her the most qualified candidate to ever run for office.

“That’s the Hillary I know. That’s the Hillary I’ve come to admire,” Obama gushed. “And that’s why I can say with confidence there has never been a man or a woman—not me, not Bill, nobody—more qualified than Hillary Clinton to serve as president of the United States of America.” Watch

  1. Do you think there’d be a way to appeal to the greed, arrogance and egos of these people to, like, get on a ship or a train or something — all together — and arrange . . .
    maybe like make them all “important speakers” or something on one of those Think Tank Cruises — somewhere off the lee side of Galapagos. Free cruise, free food, an adoring audience, huge speakers’ fees; right in the jet stream of Galapagos Island.

  2. This is a reasonable viewpoint for Joe , He’s seeing all of his comrades go Crazy and he’s still the same Joe as ever. His advantage was he started as Crazy, so now Joe’s just cruising along !!!

  3. Actually Joe is correct! He was the best qualified in the Dem stable which, of course, does not say much for the other hacks. Interesting question, what would Trump’s reaction be if ole’Joe placed his hands on Melanie? Exciting times!

  4. Joe, you had eight years to show you had leadership qualities, even outshine Obama. What happened to your job to end cancer?–You did nothing. Except be the buffoon you are. Fergedit, Joe.

  5. Joe definitely was the biggest groper and dirtiest old man in the field. IN the real world, Joe’s pawing of every woman within 20′ would get him a kick in the nads, a slap in the face, and a pink slip.
