> Donald Trump thinks he would do “very well” in a potential general election against Vice President Joe Biden, as the chatter about a Biden presidential run ratcheted back up this week.
> 
> “I think I’d match up great. I’m a job producer. I’ve had a great record. I haven’t been involved in plagiarism,” Trump said on “The Hugh Hewitt Show” late on Wednesday. “I think I would match up very well against Biden.”

> The Wall Street Journal reported  <http://www.wsj.com/articles/joe-biden-is-sounding-out-allies-about-a-2016-bid-1439424303>Wednesday night that Biden is spending part of his South Carolina vacation asking friends and family about a third run for the White House.
> 
> Speculation about a Biden run has persisted as the Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton continues to have problems with the ongoing scandal over her use of a private email server at the State Department. On Tuesday, Clinton agreed to give the FBI her private server and thumb drives containing the messages.

> As far as Trump’s plagiarism reference, the first time the then-Delaware senator ran for the presidency during the 1988 cycle, he admitted to plagiarizing a law review article for a paper he wrote in his first year at Syracuse Law School. The admission came after The New York Times reported that he had also plagiarized a speech from British politician Neil Kinnock during a debate in Iowa the previous month without attribution, though he had cited Kinnock in the past.
> 
> “I was wrong, but I was not malevolent in any way,” Biden said of his 1960s law school episode in September 1987, according to The New York  <http://www.nytimes.com/1987/09/18/us/biden-admits-plagiarism-in-school-but-says-it-was-not-malevolent.html>Times <http://www.nytimes.com/1987/09/18/us/biden-admits-plagiarism-in-school-but-says-it-was-not-malevolent.html> report at the time. “I did not intentionally move to mislead anybody. And I didn’t. To this day I didn’t.”
