When vice presidents seek their party’s nomination, they win. The last failed veep candidacy was in 1952 …. Since then, vice presidents Richard Nixon, Hubert Humphrey, Walter Mondale, George H.W. Bush, and Al Gore all successfully won their party’s nomination—often comfortably. …
That should make Vice President Joe Biden well positioned to fulfill his lifelong dream of seizing the White House, but he’s not. If Clinton runs, he barely has any chance at all. [cont.]
