The polls are showing that Bernie has picked up steam, and that Nationally, Clinton's lead has collapsed
and as a recommended diary shows, Biden recently spoke to CNN about his son's death,
but that was not all…
Vice President Joe Biden offered effusive praise for Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders Monday, lauding Hillary Clinton's chief rival for doing a "heck of a job" on the campaign trail and praising Sanders for offering an authentic voice on income inequality.
Bernie is speaking to a yearning that is deep and real. And he has credibility on it," Biden said during an interview with CNN chief political analyst Gloria Borger.
"It's relatively new for Hillary to talk about that," Biden continued, acknowledging that Clinton has "come forward with some really thoughtful approaches to deal with the issue" of income inequality.
"Hillary's focus has been other things up to now, and that's been Bernie's -- no one questions Bernie's authenticity on those issues," he said.
This statement by Biden is the recognition by people in the Democratic party that Bernie is repeating the same narrative as Barack in 2008.
More evidence with this statement: a statement that would have been unimaginable 6 months ago:
"I never thought she was a prohibitive favorite," he said. "I don't think she ever thought she was a prohibitive favorite. So I think it's, you know, everything's sort of coming down to Earth."
