Okay, so let this Delawarean set yon commenters straight on this Joe Biden thing.
Because I’ve said it before, over and over, and so far I am right.
JOE BIDEN WILL NOT RUN FOR PRESIDENT!
You guys got that?
I said this right from the beginning and am so far right, and with the deadline 11/1/15, he won’t sign up.
First, forget that ridiculous assertion that Beau Biden told his Dad on his dying bed that he last wish is for ole Joe to run for President.
You ever been around somebody with a brain problem? Come on, anything’s possible, but brain hurting people generally are unconscious most of the time....not talking politics, ladida.
Also, we have learned that Joe gave that story about Beau’s dying wish to Maureen Dowd his own self, which looks pretty intentional, no? In short, the dying Beau story gives Joe a reason to drop out once Hillary’s money people refuse to switch from her to him.
“I gave it much thought, but with regret, I simply need to be with my grieving family for a while so I will not be seeking the Democratic nomination for President.”
OR....
“With Beau’s dying wishes in my head, I have decided to seek the Democratic nomination for President. I wish all the rest of the candidates the best and may the best man....or woman....win.”
I think there is great concern about Hillary, as well there should be. But seriously, do you think the guys with big money are going to, badaboom, just switch to ole Joe, not the greatest candidate on the planet, let’s get real.
So the debate was the catalyst, as I see it. If Hillary came off badly the money people would have moved over to Joe. But Hillary did okay...mediocre I know but she didn’t do any big major gaffes. Why on earth would the money people move from Hillary, who held her own in that debate, to crazy Joe, he with roaming hands and endless gaffes?
Bill Crystol totally disagrees with me, says the Democrats love President Obama and they will love Biden on a drip-down theory.
So who’s the smartest....MOI...or Bill Crystal.
I’ve been wrong before.
It happens.
Personally, I think it is Obama’s call. He absolutely must have a Democrat in the WH or his “legacy” items are going to get destoryed .... Obamatrade (crappy TPP), Obamanuke (Iran deal), Obama(NO)care, Obamanomics (redistribution of wealth, especially to Climate Change Cronies), Obamacrime (lawlessness: BLM, illegal immigrants), etc.
Joe Biden would be an Obama 3rd term and I believe that is who Obama/ValJar would personally prefer in the WH .... BUT can he be elected? Hilly, at this time, appears to have a better chance of winning so Obama will not totally loose the DOJ/FBI dogs on her .... he’s got them snapping at her heels just to keep her in line & grateful (mess up & she’ll need a pardon from him ... which he may or may not give her if it comes to that - depends on the size of the cash transfer from the Clinton Foundation to the Obama Foundation).
So ... Joe running? Only if Obama thinks he can win. After the Hilly debate performance, I’m thinking “no” ... after Obama’s comments to Kroft, fragging the FBI investigation into Hilly, I’m thinking “no”.
I guess we’ll all find out in the next two weeks or so which way it goes, unless Hilly gets herself so worked up testifying at the Benghazi Committee that she has a stroke or something ..... you just never know.
