If you were a Republican operative charged with devising ways to weaken Hillary Clinton and the Democrats' chances of winning in November of 2016, the first thing you might think of is a forming a congressional committee to turn a tragic event into a scandal that could be linked to Ms. Clinton. Since that has already been done, you would have to come up with something else. The next best idea you might have would be to persuade Vice President Joe Biden to run against Hillary Clinton in the Democratic Primary. This stratagem would not only diminish the Democratic Party's chances of retaining the White House in 2016, but for good measure probably also destroy the political reputation of Mr. Biden, who is not exactly a beloved figure among conservative Republicans.
