Will he or won’t he? GQ Magazine’s newly released profile of Vice President Joe Biden doesn’t answer That Question — will he make a play for the White House in 2016 — but it does make clear that the issue is on his mind. Literally.
“I can die a happy man never having been president of the United States of America,” Biden tells Jeanne Marie Laskas. “But it doesn’t mean I won’t run.”
The piece describes Biden as being “a Hillary Clinton away from the White House” — a nod to the loose Inside-the-Beltway consensus that he won’t run in 2016 if she does. And the voluble veep hints at it, too.
“The judgment I’ll make is, first of all, am I still as full of as much energy as I have now — do I feel this?” he said. “Number two, do I think I’m the best person in the position to move the ball? And, you know, we’ll see where the hell I am.”
Does “President Biden” seem far-fetched. The piece quotes Sen. John McCain, R.-Ariz., as saying it’s believable.
“Suppose the economy comes on strong. He’s bound to get credit,” McCain says. “Of course, the State of the Union speech would be the longest in history.”
“Joe Biden doesn’t have a mean bone in his body,” McCain says. “He’s unique in that he’s had some role in every major national-security crisis that his nation has faced in the last thirty-five years.”
And, McCain adds, “look at the number of times he’s been able to conclude agreements. I would say he’s been the most impactful vice president that I’ve known — certainly in modern times.”

I can die happier if you never become president, too ,Joe...
I’m for it happening sooner than later.
I can die even happier if he isn’t.
Well .... if McCain, arguably the finest intellectual mind of modern times, endorses Biden, that’s good enough for me. /S
Get right on that, would ya, Joe?
LMAO
RE: Get right on that, would ya, Joe?
Be careful what you wish for... any possible replacement could be worse.
Joe’s Brain: “TOO LATE”!!
When you need a positive quote about a radical liberal you can always count on former Republican Presidential candidate, John McCain.
I believe that McCain had a role in Benghazi through Hillary and that is why McCain desperately wants to arm the Syrians to cover it up as if it was legal.
So you can be happy without being President, Joe? I certainly hope so! Being President would be hell. I wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy.
Hey, Joe, we can die happy without you being president too. But we would be happier if you can seal the deal sooner rather than later.
Did he give a date?
I was looking for that.
Anyone else out there sort of have a list of people who have far overstayed their welcome here, like McCain, O’Reilly, Jimmy Carter?
In all seriousness, I hope he’s the nominee in 2016. One of the clubs that the media beat Republicans over the head with (unfairly) is that we are a party of old white guys. Running an old white guy like Biden, instead of say an old white woman (who just so happened to be married to our REAL first black president) might take some of the starch out of that argument.
If ignorance is bliss, Joe is the happiest man on earth.
hopefully after he’s been prosecuted for sedition against the US
If I had only one wish, it would be that mccain dies without Joe becoming president. That kinda’ works out as two wishes, but....
What BS. Biden was so malicious to Ed Meese that his wife, Ursula, was crying in the hearing room. Among other vicious comments, Biden told Ed Meese that he was beneath the dignity of Office of Attorney General
Tell me that Biden wasn't mean to Judge Bork as well.
