Ouch: Jill Biden Doesn’t Exactly Give a Ringing Endorsement of Her Husband

That’s basically the message from Dr. Jill Biden, wife of presidential hopeful and former Vice President Joe Biden, who recently told Democrats that they might have to “swallow a little bit” in order to vote for her lackluster husband, since, like it or not, he’s the most electable candidate in the field.

“Your candidate might be better on, I don’t know, healthcare, than Joe is,” Mrs. Biden said, “but you’ve got to look at who’s going to win this election, and maybe you have to swallow a little bit and say, ‘Okay, I personally like so-and-so better,’ but your bottom line has to be that we have to beat Trump.” . . .

“Yes, I know that not all of you are committed to my husband, and I respect that,” Mrs. Biden continued, “but I want you to think about your candidate, his or her electability, and who’s going to win this race.”

“If you’re looking at that, you’ve got to look at the polls,” the former Second Lady said, noting that people should ignore the “polls don’t mean anything” chants because of their consistency: “If they’re consistent, and they’re consistently saying the same thing, I think you can’t dismiss that.”

“If your goal is to beat Donald Trump, we have to get someone who can beat Donald Trump,” she added, emphasizing that Democrats need to gain on Independent and disaffected Republican voters.
