Didn’t know any of that coming in to the thread. I honestly figured it was just a gambit for name recognition and a springboard for the office he really wants.

There is a gaping need for a candidate like this!

We’ll beat him on looks. It nearly worked for Beto.

They’re not gonna make the mistake of running dowager Clinton again.

Slow Joe is too old. Democrats want someone young, hip and cool.

Like Justin Trudeau.

"Rats won’t nominate a white male unless its Slow Joe."

Absolutely 100% correct, sir!

But Slow Joe is their candidate, it's just a matter of keeping #Karamela off the ticket too, which will be a slow-motion pyrrhic victory -- this Butt-faced kid can undercut LGBT wannabes like Booker, Castro and even #Karamela by saying he's the real Butt.

If Slow Joe keeps #Karamela off the ticket, the progressives and the Amish will take their ball home like '16.

But if Slow Joe can't keep #Karamela off the ticket, the Democrats will suffer an electoral wipeout. There is no way in hell America would gamble on a 78-year-old man with that Resting Bitch Face as his back-up and her ashy hand on the nuclear button.

That's why Joe is heeding the good advice to go ahead and grab Beto now, which is unorthodox as all get out but the only way to keep #Karamela off the ticket. Bebo is as unqualified as Buttgag and #Karamela but they know they have no other choice but to think out-of-the-box to keep her off the ticket.

All these months of calling him "Pete Buttplug" and it turns out he really is gay?

Funny world.

It looks like he was Catholic, but turned Episcopal to get married.

He also ran for state treasurer and got slaughtered by the ill-fated Richard Mourdock.

I’m sure he’ll give Flake and Hickenlooper a run for their money.

Sorry, not enough of a Socialist.
