Biden is obviously too dense to realize he and his boss are both toxic to Dems running in the midterms.
Via Weekly Standard:
Vice President Joe Biden blew Kansas independent Greg Orman’s cover in a radio interview today. Orman hasn’t stated which party he’ll caucus with in the Senate–actively avoiding announcing whether he’ll be with Republicans or Democrats–but Biden stated definitively that Orman “will be with us” if he’s elected.
“We have a chance of picking up an independent who will be with us in the state of Kansas,” said Biden, as he predicted the outcomes of various Senate races around the country.
Orman has stated that he’ll caucus with whichever party holds the balance of power in Kansas, but Republicans have long suspected he’s likely to join the Democrats’ side. Biden seemed to confirm that belief in this interview.

Kansas independent Senate contender Greg Orman’s campaign is distancing the candidate from Vice President Biden after Biden suggested in a radio interview that Orman would caucus with Democrats if elected to the Senate.
“Greg’s never spoken to the vice president in his life,” Orman campaign manager Jim Jonas said in a statement. “Greg is an Independent, and he’s not going to Washington represent the Democrats or the Republicans – he’s going to represent the people of Kansas.”
Earlier Tuesday, Biden told Connecticut radio station WPLR, “We have a chance of picking up, you know, an independent who will be with us in the state of Kansas.”
Orman is running against Sen. Pat Roberts (R-Kan.) in one of the most important races in the battle for the majority. He has not said which party he would caucus with if the majority comes down to him.
