On Sunday’s Good Morning America, ABC reporter Mary Bruce went to bat for Vice President Joe Biden as he contemplates a potential White House run in 2016.

The ABC reporter heavily spun for Biden regarding is numerous gaffes as she proclaimed “[h]e's also had his fair share of stumbles. From back rubs to BFD’s. Biden is a gaffemaking machine. But those oh that Joe moments are part of his political charm.”

In her introduction of Bruce, Paula Faris insisted that a potential Biden run “could shake up the Democratic nomination” before she turned to her colleague who continued to promote a Biden candidacy.

After Bruce explained how Biden’s son Beau wanted him to run for president prior to his death, the ABC reporter touted how the vice president is an “experienced campaigner” whose gaffes are part of his “charm”:

But he's also had his fair share of stumbles. From back rubs to BFD’s. Biden is a gaffemaking machine. But those oh that Joe moments are part of his political charm.

One wonders if Bruce would have been as sympathetic towards a Republican who was gaffe prone or would the ABC reporter have suggested that such “stumbles” would disqualify them from seeking the White House rather than being a part of their “political charm.”

Later in the segment, Dan Harris introduced ABC’s Chief White House Correspondent Jonathan Karl by calling a Biden candidacy an “earthquake in the race for president.” Karl did not go as far as Harris and label a Biden run an “earthquake” for Democrats, but still made sure to promote the potential impact he could have in the race:

But there are clear signs that Hillary Clinton is vulnerable and Biden would be a force in this race from the start. He would undoubtedly be a serious challenger though under the right circumstances could pose a serious threat to Hillary Clinton.

Over on NBC, Meet the Press moderator Chuck Todd provided a much more sober analysis of Biden’s chances if he does decide to challenge Clinton for the Democratic nomination:

Her [Hillary Clinton] problem is with swing voters, independent voters, who are souring on her and right now do view Joe Biden more favorably. The question is are they just viewing him more favorably because they don't like Hillary Clinton but they’d never actually would vote for him? And I think that's something that the Biden people have to answer in order to figure out if it's truly viable for them to win.
