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:
Biden: Hillary Clinton never figured out why she was running https://t.co/5zMgG0eu34 pic.twitter.com/rprfgDeZws

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).
@CNN she knew why she was running; selfish power and money. It's all the Clinton's know.

No, he said it wasn’t raw ambition.
@CNN hum hello? Power…money..greed. Delusions….

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

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

@CNN She planned for this for 4 yrs & didn't know why she was running!? She felt Entitled to it

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

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

@CNN BREAKING NEWS!!! @HillaryClinton ran based upon a misdirected sense of entitlement and hubris

@CNN I could tell. A big reason why she never "sold it" to me.

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.
@CNN She was running for herself.. that was her problem. Its not all about her.
