If Vice President Joe Biden were a betting man, he’d guarantee no Bernie Sanders supporters would go into the voting booth and cast a ballot for Trump, he told a group of reporters at the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia today.
“I wish we could put something on every Sanders delegate waling into a booth. If we were able to find out I’d betchya everything I have that hardly anyone is going to pull a lever for Trump. Come on, man. You kidding me?” he said.
Biden, responding to questions following the DNC email leak about questions of party unity, said he doesn’t believe there is any faction in the party and that Sanders supporters helped change the party for the better.
"They did more to change the attitude in the party than anything has happened in a long, long time and it's all for the better," he said.
“We have to be a little graceful here. The delegates work their tail off and they are here in large numbers. Give 'em a chance," Biden added.
"I promise you they are going to be fine. I do not think there is any fraction in the party,” he said, noting that while the DNC emails didn’t help, it wasn’t the cause of Sanders losing the nomination.
Biden also spoke with a group of students about why people come to the United States and how in all of his travels there is “not a single leader in the world that wouldn’t trade places with us in a heartbeat.”
He focused on the U.S. being a nation of immigrants since the 1740s and that in many ways the U.S. gets to "cherry-pick" the best of the best.
“Imagine what it takes to be sitting some place. In some god-awful place anywhere else in the world and say, 'I’ve got an idea. Let's sell everything we have, give it to some coyote, have him take us across the border. Drop us in the desert in a place they don't want us. Won't that be fun,'” Biden said rhetorically.
“The people who come are the people who have courage. The people who come are the people who are dreamers. The people who come are the people who are the people who never give up. The people who come are the people who are the people who are vibrant," Biden added. "That's why we are the nation we are. And that’s why you guys are going to make a difference. I really mean this.”
