Thursday on MSNBC’s “Andrea Mitchell Reports,” host Andrea Mitchell said while Vice President Joe Biden is deciding whether or not to challenge former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for the Democratic nomination, he is taking into account that he “thinks that he would be a better president than Hillary Clinton.” Mitchell said, “I think it’s very clear that he would like to run. He thinks that he would be a better president than Hillary Clinton. He thinks that he is really qualified, having been vice president, having to run for president though unsuccessfully before, all of his years in the Senate. I don’t think he’s close to making this decision. It is so wrapped up in the loss of his son who wanted him to run, what the family needs are, the grandchildren, the children, and the fact that it would be very tough to raise the money for a national campaign.”

Gen. Hertling: Trump’s Plan to Beat ISIS is ‘Laughable and Dangerous’
Earlier this week on CNN’s “New Day,” CNN’s military analyst Ret. U.S. Army Lt. Gen. Mark Hertling said Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump saying his plan against ISIS is to “take the oil away,” with U.S. troops is “laughable and dangerous.” Hertling said, “Well, as he has said, he is a better general than I. So, as a military man, he knows that all plans have to be feasible, credible and practical. The plan that he’s concocting right now doesn’t meet any one of those categories. And, in fact, I would say, it is — it does meet a category of laughable and dangerous. There are people around the world are listening to this and not quite understanding what is going on in America with a guy that’s suggesting we just bomb and send troops in to steal the oil. It’s just not a good suggestion politically.” Follow Pam Key on Twitter
Hillary to Univision: I Will Get GOP-Led Congress to Make the Rich ‘Pay More’ Taxes
Earlier this week on Univision, the Spanish-language network’s Maria Elena Salinas interviewed Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton at River Valley Community College in Claremont, NH. During that interview, Clinton expressed her confidence she could get a Republican-led Congress to pass her $350-billion public college plan with large tax increases on the wealthy. Salinas asked, “Well, you just rolled out your new education program, and what it includes is helping kids pay for tuition, particularly the public colleges. And this will cost $350 billion in 10 years. Well, as you can expect, the Republican opponents are criticizing you because to pay for it, you’d have to raise taxes. Do you think that this would be approved by a Republican-led Congress?” Clinton replied, “I do, because I think what I would do is to have rich people pay more to make sure that hard working young people can go to college. And what I would do is
Buchanan: Hillary’s Emails ‘Hellacious Problem,’ ‘Possible Indictment’ Coming
Wednesday on Newsmax TV’s “The Steve Malzberg Show” conservative commentator Pat Buchanan said the new revelations that there was top secret information on Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s private email server is a “a hellacious political problem,” that can possibly bring an “indictment down the road.” Buchanan said “Hillary Clinton has got a major problem and the Democratic Party has a major headache. Look for out of forty of those documents that they got contained classified information and as I understand it, two of them contained information that was top secret. How many more of the documents that she had on her private server contain that kind of information? She’s going to first have to lawyer up,” He continued, “And secondly if it’s proven that she really has misspoken very possibly deliberately misspoke, you’re talking about her potential problem with the Department of Justice and a possible indictment down the
Halperin: ‘Pretty Clear’ FBI Is Being Aggressive on Hillary Handling of Classified Material
Wednesday on Bloomberg TV’s “With All Due Respect,” co-host Mark Halperin said Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton contradiction of early claims that she would not hand over her private email server and today’s developments that she has now turned over that server to the FBI, who is investigating her handling of classified information, is evidence they are “being aggressive.” Halperin said the worst-case scenario is “that the Justice Department and the FBI get her server, they find any undeleted e-mails that she did not turn over, and that stuff had both classified information and information that was government business that she hadn’t handed over in the batch she did hand over. I’m not saying that is all going to happen but that is certainly within the realm of possibility. And it’s pretty clear the FBI is being aggressive in going after trying to figure out — not in a criminal investigation

I was a world-class businessman, built a net worth of more more than $10 billion, and I contributed to everybody.” He continued, “Frankly, the people in the Tea Party who I love so much and they seems to like me so much, everybody understands that.

Sharpton: From Watts to Ferguson — ‘All Violence’ Was ‘Sparked by Police Violence’
Wednesday on the “Tom Joyner Morning Show,” MSNBC’s “Politics Nation” host Al Sharpton said all the riots and violence of the last 50 years, from Watts to Ferguson, have been “sparked by police violence,” and then driven by unemployment and poverty. Sharpton said. “I think what is critical as we marked the 50th anniversary in March of the voting rights march, and then couple weeks ago, of the signing, that we must remember the Watts rebellion happened the very same year. That shows us even with the promise of the Voting Rights Act there was the violence and rebellion when police stopped a man and roughed him up and it led to six days of violence here, over thirty lives lost. Much more than we see now.” He continued, “If you think of Watts 50y years ago, if you think of South Central with Rodney King, all of the violence
Rand Paul: Trump ‘Despicable’ for Buying Access to the Clintons
Wednesday on WKXL Concord News Radio’s “Pints and Politics,” Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) said his rival Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump was “despicable” for “buying access to the Clintons.” Paul said, “One of the things the Tea Party was upset about is fake conservatives. We were concerned about fake Republicans. People who said they were for one thing but really weren’t. I think that is a real concern with Trump—is he real or is he fake? It’s a reality TV show—is he acting? He used to be for Obamacare. He was for the bank bailouts. He used to be for gun control. He said the Democrats are better at running the economy than the Republicans. I wonder if he is in the right primary or not. He has given a hundred-grand to Clinton recently. Most of us think it is despicable to buy access to a politician. But isn’t it
