Kevin Madden: A ‘Joe Biden Candidacy So Much More Alluring than the Reality’

ACOSTA: "Kevin, it certainly got their attention. I mean, this was —"
MADDEN: "Sure."
ACOSTA: "I don’t want to call it a shot across the bow, but it was near the bow. It was getting close to the bow."
MADDEN: "Right but you know, I always think that the concept of the Joe Biden candidacy is so much more alluring than the reality. He is a gaffe machine. He has been doing this since 1986. He doesn’t really have a natural solidified base. So I think, it’s entirely right now reaction to Hillary Clinton’s stumbles on the campaign trail and the rise of Bernie Sanders, and people worrying that that’s going to hurt the profile of the party when it comes towards (ph) general election. So — but you know, Joe Biden gets in, I expect that Hillary Clinton would probably relish the chance to sort of boost up her candidacy by being able to finally beat somebody they may see as more — as a better candidate."
