Joe Biden might make a big decision this weekend — but he'd have a bumpy road to the White House

More and more leaks suggest that Vice President Joe Biden will enter the presidential race.

But he would face a steep uphill climb if he does.

The New Yorker reported Thursday that Biden representatives recently met with national Democratic Party staffers to discuss the rules and procedures that he he would need to clear if he entered the race.

"I think it means he's running," a source told The New Yorker.

"The deadlines for qualifying on the ballots for key states haven't passed yet, but are fast approaching."

Politico further reported that Biden is looking at making a final decision this weekend "or shortly thereafter," and that people close to him say he's leaning toward leaping into the fray.

According to CNN, Biden is meeting with his family this weekend to discuss the race and whether they are emotionally ready for the rigors of the campaign trail after the death of his son, Beau, earlier this year.

Of course Uncle Joe is running. All this media talk of how tough the race will be for Biden to defeat Hillary is just a smokescreen. Once he’s in the race the DNC and the media will grease the skids and do whatever they can to get him the nomination. Anyone who thinks Uncle Joe is entering the race to lose out to Hillary is kidding themselves. He’s the next chosen one!

Its just a tease to keep his name in the news...he is still thinking. Biden will delay his decision. His people are busy feeling out donors for responses, yea or nay on funding him.

“He’s the next chosen one!”

For some reason, when I see that phrase, I now think of Kevin McCarthy.

It’s a done deal. The entire Democratic Party will get on board with Uncle Joe. They know Hillary is toast.

Joe Biden will be forced to run for POTUS!!! Why? After next week’s Democrat debate, Hillary Clinton will be finshed as a viable, competitive POTUS candidate!!! Why? Becasue no one will be watching the debate!!! IMHO....only between 2-4 million viewers will watch the debate on CNN....a terrible, devastating, low, number of viewers when compared to the GOP debates with 22-24 million viewers!!!

Of course....the next Democrat debate after next week will feature Joe Biden as the “lightening rod” Democrat who will ignite the passion of the Obamabot low life, and they will tune in by th millions (NOT)!!!!

Hint: I will not be watching any Democrat debate!!! HInt....I suggest you consider doing the same!!!

Food for thought: Boehner is gone, McCarthy is gone!!! McConnell is next...to be followed by Obama!!! Just like the flick “The Outlaw Josey Wales”........”Granny......Hell is coming to breakfast”........Democrats...get real, broom Obama or, the American voters will have all of you “Obamabots” for breakfast, come November, 2016!!!

RE: I will not be watching any Democrat debate!!!

What is there to debate really?

They all want the same thing — more regulations, higher taxes, larger spending, bigger government.

I think the only thing worth debating is who can grow the above fastest.

With that, nobody can beat Bernie Sanders.

Lanny is a Clinton crony. But a buffoon sock puppet is just what Obama ordered.

I don't believe Biden’s a buffoon - he's a caricature of an upper class white person from a time long past... he's a reflection.

The black equivalent would be a 'Step and Fetch it'... a concept blacks imitated but was never real. A female equivalent could be 'Gracie Allen'... her 'type' was a fiction... but many women imitated that fiction.
