Thursday on MSNBC’s “Andrea Mitchell Reports,” NBC’s “Meet the Press” moderator Chuck Todd reported that Vice President Joe Biden has his doubts about the campaign for the 2016 Democratic presidential nomination of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. “I can just tell you based on conversations that I know he’s had with people, he doesn’t believe she’s been running a good campaign and he believes he could run a better campaign than her,” Todd said. Biden is rumored to be considering entering the Democratic field, which includes Clinton, former Gov. Lincoln Chafee (D-RI), former Gov. Martin O’Malley (D-MD) and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT).

‘Special Report’ Panel: If Elizabeth Warren Declared Tomorrow, She’d Be 20 Points Ahead in 2 Weeks
During the online segment of Fox News Channel’s “Special Report” on Wednesday, host Bret Baier asked his panel made up of Washington Post columnists George Will and Charles Krauthammer and National Journal’s Ron Fournier how the dynamic of the race for the 2016 Democratic presidential nomination would change if Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) enter the race. Krauthammer expressed his skepticism of the Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) chances, especially as former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has faltered. That led Baier to inquire about the possibility of Warren’s entrance in the race, where consensus seemed to be that if she entered tomorrow, she would have a commanding lead in two short weeks. [Relevant portion at 13:45 in] Partial transcript as follows: BAIER: Is it possible that some moderate challenge to Clinton, whether it is Jim Webb or someone else? FOURNIER: It’s hard to see how a moderate wins. WILL: The energy
Ben Carson: Planned Parenthood Clinics Put in Black Neighborhoods to ‘Control That Population’
Wednesday on Fox News Channel’s “Your World,” former Johns Hopkins neurosurgeon Dr. Ben Carson, a candidate for the 2016 Republican nomination, sounded off on Planned Parenthood, as the so-called women’s health organization has been under fire in recent weeks for a series of videos suggesting they were open to selling aborted fetal tissue for profit. Carson referred to the founder of Planned Parenthood, Margaret Sanger and her position on eugenics, particularly as it pertained to blacks, which he said may not allow for him to be objective when it comes to Planned Parenthood. “Well, maybe I’m not objective when it comes to Planned Parenthood. But you know, I know who Margaret Sanger is, and I know that she believed in eugenics, and that she was not particularly enamored with black people,” Carson said. “And one of the reasons that you find most of their clinics in black neighborhoods is so that
Gowdy: Hillary ‘Wanted to Control Access to the Public Record,’ ‘She Almost Got Away with It’
On Wednesday’s broadcast of Fox News Channel’s “America’s Newsroom,” Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC) weighed in on the recent reports that the Federal Bureau of Investigations was investigating former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, a candidate for the 2016 Democratic presidential nomination, for her use of an unauthorized email server during her tenure as the nation’s top diplomat. Gowdy, the chairman of the House Select Committee on Benghazi, declined to discuss particulars of the FBI investigation with the exception of what on that may have pertained to the 2012 attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi. He did, however, scoff at the Clinton campaign’s insistence of cooperation and transparency as investigation unfolds. “It’s hard not to laugh when I hear that,” Gowdy said. “I know he’s in the business to say absurd things. But if that really was his intent and her intent, why did they set up this unique unprecedented

Seth Meyers Hits ‘Huge Sexist’ Erick Erickson for Hypocrisy
On his Monday show, “Late Night” host Seth Meyers offered his takes on last week’s Republican presidential debate aired on the Fox News Channel. During that segment, he went after RedState editor-in-chief Erick Erickson for rescinding an invitation to Donald Trump after the presidential front-runner was accused of making sexist remarks aimed at debate co-moderator Megyn Kelly. Meyers pointed to Erickson’s prior remarks about gender, hinting there was hypocrisy in Erickson’s gesture. “Now, it wasn’t just liberals that were upset with Trump,” Meyers said. “Conservative radio host Erick Erickson disinvited Trump to a gathering of conservatives in Atlanta this weekend due to his comments. And it’s a big deal when Erick Erickson disinvites you for sexism because Erick Erickson is a huge sexist.” Meyers referred to Erickson’s infamous 2013 remarks to Megyn Kelly about male in other animal species being the so-called “dominant one.” (h/t Mediaite) Follow Jeff Poor on Twitter @jeff_poor

Watch: Sarah Silverman Introduces ‘Not for Sale’ Bernie Sanders to Crowd of 27,000
On Monday before a crowd of 27,000 people at the Los Angeles Sports Arena, comedienne Sarah Silverman introduced Democratic presidential hopeful Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and offered a ringing endorsement of his candidacy. Silverman touted his “values” and “morals” as redeeming qualities of the Vermont senator. “You know I feel weird using words like values and morals because those are words that have been co-opted by people who wear them as shrouds to justify terrible things,” she said. “I’d like to take those words back tonight to use them to describe Bernie Sanders because his moral compass and sense of values inspires me.” Silverman also promoted Sanders’ candidacy because he was on the “right of history” for his work on civil rights in 1960s, gay marriage in the 1980s, opposing the Iraq war and promoting the regulation of Wall Street. She also took aim at the big money influencing the

Joe Scarborough Criticizes Fox News for ‘Gotcha’ Debate Questions
Monday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” host Joe Scarborough criticized Fox News for targeting Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump during Thursday’s GOP presidential debate. Scarborough referred specifically to what he deemed to be “gotcha” questions and suggested the focus should have been on policy instead. “Reince Priebus had decided to ban networks–this one, and I would have if were Reince Priebus too, so I’m not knocking him — I would never give MSNBC a Republican debate right now,” Scarborough said. “Pretty soon I would–things are changing really quickly at this network. But a year ago? Never. I undersand that. But the idea was to get news outlets, Mark, that would ask legitimate questions about policy instead of gotcha questions. There wasn’t a single question asked of the Republican front runner that dealt with jobs, that dealt with Iran, that dealt with ISIS, that dealt with the economy writ large, that dealt with foreign policy

Trump: Megyn Kelly ‘Should Really Be Apologizing to Me’
In an appearance on Monday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump doubled down on his criticism of Fox News Channel’s “The Kelly File” host Megyn Kelly, who he insisted treated him unfairly in last Thursday’s GOP presidential debate. Host Joe Scarborough asked Trump if he was looking to sort out his ongoing feud with Fox News. Trump declined to offer a response, but insisted Kelly owed him an apology. “The fact is [Megyn Kelly] asked me an inappropriate question,” he said. “She should really be apologizing to me, you want to know the truth. And other candidates have said that.” He also went after RedState’s Erick Erickson, who disinvited him from a RedState event held over the weekend, calling him a “loser.” Later in the interview, Trump went on to say that he believed he would be the “best” president for women if elected.
