Joe Biden Rules Out 2020 Presidential Run
Breitbart ^ | June 262018 | Joshua Caplan

Posted on 06/26/2018 12:00:24 PM PDT by Hojczyk

Former Vice President Joe Biden said in an interview published Tuesday that he will not run for president in 2020.

“It makes me feel guilty about not wanting to [run for president],” Biden told Josh Rogin of the Washington Post during a wide-ranging interview on U.S.-EU relations under the Trump administration. “But it doesn’t make me want to. I’m not looking to live in the White House, I’ve seen it up close.”

“But all kidding aside, I don’t know what I’m going to do,” the 75-year-old added.

During a March 2017 event at Colgate University, Biden said he was “fairly confident” he could have beaten Trump in the general election.

“I had planned on running for president and although it would have been a very difficult primary, I think I could have won,” he told attendees. “I don’t know, maybe not. But I thought I could have won.

“I had a lot of data and I was fairly confident that if I were the Democratic Party’s nominee, I had a better than even chance of being president,” he added. “But do I regret not being president? Yes. I was the best qualified.”

He has plenty of time to rule it in and rule it out again and again.

Biden knows full well from the Podesta emails that his Chief of Staff was a Hillary mole. His campaign was doomed from day one.

Stop the lying, Joe!

Don’t worry. If you’ve followed Creepy Uncle Joe, you know he’ll be opening his dirty little mouth about running again. He can’t stand to be out of the news.

He was the best qualified??? But I heard so often, that Hillary was the best qualified ever to run for president. Did Joe not get the memo on that?

Old Joe wants press attention again. Wouldn’t surprise me if he stipulates an open casket with a spotlight on it.

He doesn’t want to get his ass kicked. I don't blame him.

He can’t fake being Marxist. He’s an old style hack, and can’t speak Bernie or Kamala. Also the guy hounding his every appearance over his groping videos is probably taking a toll.

——I don’t know what I’m going to do-—

Well, it’s obvious to me. He’ll hire a ghost ant produce a book. Then he’ll get paid to cross the country making money and appearances.

By then he’ll be 80 and like old man bush he’ll go skydiving or something like that. Maybe he’ll show up in Scranton at a playground dedication and in his name.

“I had planned on running for president and although it would have been a very difficult primary, I think I could have won,” he told attendees. “I don’t know, maybe not. But I thought I could have won.”

What exactly about Joe Biden's performance in the 2008 Democratic presidential primaries told him that?

To which Hillary responds:
