Joe is a clown, not a liar

If Biden does run, his private anguish will be a key element in his public narrative.

so if biden tries to exploit the deaths of family members to win the presidency then all is fair game, correct? such as all the times biden slandered the truck driver involved in the accident with his first wife and daughter by saying he "drank his lunch", inferring the driver was drunk, which was completely false...

I think the loss of the Kennedy baby is overlooked. Poor Jackie, she lost a baby and her husband (brutally murdered right in front of her) in just a few years. I don’t know how people get through these things.

And I feel for Biden, I can’t imagine what it would be like to have your child survive a dreadful accident that killed his mother and sister, only to have him still die way to young decades later.

I think Biden is the biggest threat to an R victory next year, I’ve said that before and I’ll probably say it again. And it really shows what a world class flop Hillary! is. She is DEVOID of even a drop of charm, and Biden, well he’s got some of that.

I’m not much of an alcohol drinker. Really don’t touch the stuff except at special things where I pretend to sip the same drink for a few hours.

I will probably become an alcoholic if I have to endure eight years of Joe Biden as President.

Because of that earlier horrific accident when Biden lost a wife and daughter, I’m not buying his grief as an excuse for his indecision. He knows quite well how he handles grief. Is he just there on the sidelines in case hillary becomes unredeemable? Because of Biden’s soap opera, it’s making it very difficult for Saunders and the others to emerge as viable candidates.

[EternalVigilance]

The sort of “charm” you see in a crazy uncle.

[ZULU]

He us a harlot, just like all the rest.

Exactly. There is nothing private about any aspect of his life that he can exploit and exaggerate to his advantage. He is a lout, just like every other candidate the demotards have fielded in many years...

“Joe is a clown, not a liar”

BOVINE EXCRETMENT
Bull shit.
Biden has lied for forty years about the accident that killed his first wife and child. The son of a bitch said on many occasions that the truck driver “Drank his Lunch” which is not so. Biden’s wife blew a stop sign.
That has not stopped Son of a bitch Biden from slandering the poor driver and his family for FORTY years.

I'll accept the chastisement ... FReepers know so much more than anyone

My comment was innocently aired

Thanx

You mean Obama hasn't been bad enough to drive you to drink?

[mouse1]

never let a good crisis go to waste

[austinaero]

Biden is one of the BIGGEST LIARS in DC.

Ask the Curtis Dunn family about that.

[knarf]

I’ve been corrected

[Read Write Repeat]

My health insurance sucks and can’t afford a liver transplant.

[GailA]

Since I’ve buried 2, one at 33 days old, born with a viral infection, the other 16 yrs old AMBUSHED AND MURDERED by a Sociopath for the thrills to see what it felt like to kill.

What makes being a politician any different than me? NOTHING except they have a title beyond dad or mom.

[usconservative]

Heartfelt condolences for the loss of your children.

[Diamond]

So have I. Twice. And Joe Biden is still a POS.

[Kaslin]

As have I. One daughter only lived for eight hours, and my oldest son passed away in 2012 at the age of 52
