looks like. let s assume for a second that hillary doesn t run. you have two governors running. andrew cuomo and martin o malley, both very aggressive. i think biden is trying to check them on gun control but demonstrate to democratic primary votes for 2016. and we know he s going to run because he s wanted to run. he s somebody who can go into pennsylvania, ohio, some ochl these communities, go where some of these democrats, they have a tough time winning the election. he can speak to people, get their trust and democrats can win in 2016. by the way, awhere are you a? you don t have to answer it s warm. it looks like it. we ve heard a lot of crazy things over the year from texmen
a gun, protect your family. respect the second amendment but you dent need a clip. you don t need an assault weapon and so it is a smart play. okay. let s be totally political. suppose we don t get gun control. where does that leave biden? where does that leave the president? say this year is a good year to get it if we get it. if we don t get even the magazine limit. if it doesn t clear the senate and doesn t come up in the house, it doesn t happen, politically, where does that leave the president and vice president towards 2016? i think the president is in a good position because he tried and i think the vice president is in a good position because he is out there making the case. and you have to wonder, as you look at 2016 and what the field looks like, let s assume for a second that hillary doesn t run. you ve got two governors who are moving. andrew cuomo and martin and o malley. i think joe biden is trying to check them on gun control but demonstrate to democratic
i completely agree. if hillary doesn t run, warren and rubio. trivia time. who is the first woman to hold different cabinet jobs for two president? elizabeth dole. bradley america is today s winner. don t forget, you have to tweet both twitter handles to win. we re not going to let you win more than once a week. e-mail us at dailyrundown@msnbc.com. we ll be right back. s [ girl ]rumental ] when i started playing soccer, i wasn t so good.
towards vice president biden, but i think in the end the president might play the role of talking to the vice president and saying, look, you can t stand in the way of history. this is history. it s a tidal wave. you have done a great job, but this is not something you should get involved in because it s pretty hard to beat back history. i think you re right. i think everything you said is right, but the timing is so tricky here. at some point joe biden has to get the heads up hillary is running and make his moves accordingly. he can t put an exploratory committee together and start talking to heavyweights if he doesn t know what the situation is. if he doesn t think she s going to run, he should go ahead. doesn t he have to get a heads up within the next six months or so so you can get out of this game if it s not his to win? last thought on that? and i think the person who might broker that, chris, is the president of the united states who i think does care about what the future
