US VICE President Joe Biden is considering a run for the White House after his dying son reportedly urged him to seek the presidency again.

Biden, who competed for the presidency in 1988 and 2008, lost his eldest son Beau last month after a battle with brain cancer.

Beau, the former attorney general for Delaware, encouraged his dad before he passed away to have another shot at the Oval Office, according to a report in the Wall Street Journal.

I’ve been waiting for this to happen. What will it do to Her Horribleness’ campaign? And bigger question: Who will Hussein endorse??? Run, Joe, run. Can’t wait to see how this plays out.

He milked the story about his deceased wife and baby daughter all these years. Now, he has a 2nd dead offspring. I anticipate he’ll exploit that tragedy, too.

I’m sure Beau will vote for him too.

The car crash that killed his wife was caused by his wife’s driving error, but Biden falsely claimed that the other driver was driving drunk and ruined the man’s life.

Only three Vice Presidents have won election to the Presidency while Vice President, and the first one (Jefferson) was before the procedure for electing Presidents was changed. The other two are Martin van Buren in 1836 and George H. W. Bush in 1988. So the odds are not exactly in Biden's favor.

William McKinley's first Vice President died in office. In 1900 politicians in New York State pushed McKinley to pick Teddy Roosevelt for Vice President (he was then Governor of New York) thinking that this would ensure his political oblivion.

Please let this gaffe a minute idiot run.

The LEFT will serve him his head on a platter the first time he speaks "off the cuff".

He may be the answer to the eternal question, "can a person actually be too dumb for politics?"

I say, send him money! ABH. What difference could it make who runs, so long as Hillary doesn’t win the general.

I had two uncles (through marriage, fortunately) who died of brain cancer. They were equally incoherent before they died.

We are Rome:

Caligula to be succeeded by Claudius.

(and not the secretly intelligent Claudius of 'I, Claudius', but just the stuttering, drooling fool part.)
