'I regret not becoming president' - Former US vice president, Joe Biden

Former Vice President Joe Biden spoke candidly on Friday about his decision to stay out of the 2016 presidential race, saying that while he still believes he did what was best for his family, he also regrets not becoming president.  
Biden said this as he spoke at Colgate University in Hamilton, New York, saying,
“I had planned on running for president and although it would have been a very difficult primary, I think I could have won. Maybe not, I don’t know.”  
He continued to say he “lost a part of his soul” when his son, former Delaware attorney general Beau Biden, died in 2015 of brain cancer. 

Biden was visibly emotional while talking about his late son, calling him “the finest man I’ve ever known in my life.” He said while he doesn’t regret spending time with his family rather than on the campaign trail after Beau’s death, he still thinks about what could have been. 
 “Do I regret not being president? Yes,” he said.   The former vice president has previously hinted he may pursue the presidency in 2020.

    I recall watching the day he (Biden) mounted to rostrum to tell Americans he won't be running when motioned by the outgone Barack Hussein Obama. It was, I must say, so touching. Given the political permutation in America one would doubt if the possibility of Biden emerging as Dems (democrats) standard bearer was. The Dems did everything for Hillary to emerge as against the socialist Sanders popular among the youthful population. It was later found out that the Dem's leader, Debbie Wasserman Schultz hatched the plot to foist Hillary on the party. Wasserman Schultz resigned after she was found to be involved in the shenanigans. Would Biden have scaled through under circumstance as this? Only I don't know.
