The more than 15 million people who watched the first debate for Democratic presidential candidates might have their own opinions on the winner. But it was obvious that the big loser in the debate (besides the Republican party) was Vice President Joe Biden.
The media’s favorite recent electoral meme has been amplifying the will-he-or-won’t-he-run game, aided in no small part by Biden backers pushing the idea that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is too toxic to be elected. Biden can jump in to save the day, his backers insist.
I think the media need to find a new story line.
