Biden backs off calling South Carolina his ‘firewall’
[FOXNEWS] Former Vice President Joe Foreign Policy Whiz Kid Biden
...Failed seeker of the Democratic presidential nomination on multiple occasions, vice president under Barack Obama, giving it a last try in his dotage for 2020...
is backing away from pointing to the upcoming South Carolina primary as a virtual lock for his campaign, after previously describing the state as his "firewall."On Sunday, he pushed back on the description -- and even denied saying it.

"You said it, my firewall. I've never said it," Biden shot back at CBS' Margaret Brennan in an interview that aired Sunday on "Face the Nation."

"I said I'm going to do well there," he continued. "And I'll do well there and I'll do well beyond there as well."

Biden did say it, just a few weeks ago.

In an interview with NBC before the Iowa caucuses, Biden stressed the importance of South Carolina for his campaign.

"I think I'll do well in Nevada," Biden said. "And I think I have a real firewall in South Carolina."

Since making that statement, Biden finished fourth in Iowa, fifth in New Hampshire -- but bounced back with a second-place finish in Nevada.

#2 Mr. Biden's "firewall" appears to be constructed of flash-paper. A kind of erratically-burning yet entertainingly "sparkly" flash-paper.
