Biden Hits Hillary: ‘I Never Thought She Was the Correct Candidate’

Since the fallout from the November election, Democrats have been experiencing buyers remorse on steroids for having given Hillary the runaway nod for their party’s nomination.

And former Vice President Joe Biden has hinted previously that she really wasn’t up to the challenge.

But at an investment conference in Las Vegas this week, he made his opinion unequivocal: she was the wrong candidate … because he was the right one.

It’ll probably be the greatest regret of his life given that most people believe he could have beaten Hillary in the primaries and might even have defeated Trump.

Here’s more from Breitbart…

Former Vice President Joe Biden smacked failed 2016 Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton here at the Salt Conference in Las Vegas on Thursday evening.

Speaking to a packed ballroom at the Bellagio conference center on the Las Vegas Strip, the former vice president, who himself declined to run for president, said he believes Clinton was not the “correct” candidate, but he was.

“I never thought she was the correct candidate,” Biden said. “I thought I was the correct candidate.”

The audience erupted into applause.

The Salt Conference is an annual gathering of private equity leaders here in Las Vegas, organized by SkyBridge Capital founder Anthony Scaramucci. Scaramucci, last cycle, supported now-President Donald Trump.

Biden declined to run for president last cycle after the death of his son.

“No man or woman should announce for the presidency unless they genuinely believe that for that moment in the nation’s history they are the most qualified person to deal with the issues facing the country,” Biden also said.
