Joe Biden: Not even Hillary Clinton knew for sure why she ran for president

Some believe Vice President Joe Biden could have taken the 2016 election in a walk, but it was Hillary’s turn, right? Biden had quite a bit to say to Michael A. Memoli about the election in an interview published in the Los Angeles Times Thursday, but CNN managed to get right to the point in its tweet:

Before awarding Biden points for brutal honesty, note that he dismisses as unfair any suggestion that it was “raw ambition or a desire to move back to the White House” that compelled her to run for president (again).

No, he said it wasn’t raw ambition.

She knew exactly why she was running….to make money for the Clinton Foundation.

She ran for her dream of being first woman president and to keep money flowing into Clinton Foundation.

Because like 2008 she thought she was entitled to the Presidency.

She erroneously thought it was her turn. Her right. People just don't like her.

Biden’s guess? She was driven by a sense of duty to shatter that glass ceiling and open “a whole range of new vistas to women,” though the pressure of being the first woman with a real shot at the job “was a real burden on her” — so it turns out she did have something in common with the average American after all … the burden of watching her campaign.

Seriously, though: Biden does share some valuable insight into her loss — not enough that we don’t still enjoy reliving it again and again, though.
