GOP front-runner Donald Trump took to his favorite medium Wednesday afternoon to tweet his response to the news that Vice President Joe Biden had opted against running for president in 2016.
"I think Joe Biden made correct decision for him & his family,” Trump told his millions of followers. "Personally, I would rather run against Hillary because her record is so bad.”

I like Cruz. A lot. He just doesn’t seem to able to get any traction. Is this somehow Donald’s fault according to them?
If I were a Cruz supporter, I would be more angry at Carson. He’s stealing the Christian vote from Ted.
Fair enough Nick.....but since Trump has an absolutely incredible amount of support here on FR, from a very large number of long time FReepers, does that make them ‘liberal socialists’ also for getting behind Trump?
Biden is soon going to be a very wealthy, under-utilized employee of the Xlinton Crime Family Global Initiative with an important-sounding title. Arrogance and imcompetence not withstanding.
The Xlintons have the bank, the lack of shame, and the ingrained corrupt nature to do exactly that.
Betcha any other Dem candidate who poses any inconvenience will get the same treatment, although maybe a few less zeros in the payoff. Maybe these others will make at least what NBC gave that fine, experienced Journalist Chelsea.
The economy? What would he do about that? Possibly no other candidate, including Bernie Sanders, knows less about economics then Trump. Read the deposition for when he sued the author of a book about him. If that ever got played in the media, he would be a laughingstock. It makes Biden look intelligent.
You are buying into media-promoted lies.
No Carson isn’t stealing his votes from Cruz.
Look at the polling. If you take Carson out of it, the vast bulk of his support goes to Trump.
Cruz problem is he has the title Senator next to his name.
Cruz isn’t gaining traction because, fair or not, he is tainted as being part of the DC machine in most voter’s mind.
Notice Nick did not bother answering your question.
He hates Trump. Not sure why but that is the sum total of his agenda.
No, it doesn't. Basically, a lot of them are just doing it because they are grasping at the hope, even if it's not believable. Anyone who doesn't like Jeb should dislike Trump even more. But some conservatives are (rightly) so angry at the GOP, that they want to believe in an obviously phony effort. Trump has dozens of things that would have disqualified any other candidate.
I understand the desire to believe in something, but you can't put your brain in check and support an effeminate liberal wimp, just because he's putting on a reality TV show.
Trump will never be a conservative, and never e loyal to conservatives. Right now he will get attention by sayoing whatever he needs to.
I noticed. Bush bot?
Give it up nick ... we know you hate Trump.
This is good. Biden would have been the go-to for those on the left that feel like they have to hold their nose to vote for Hillary. There might be a reversal of what we saw in 2012, where this time, a good chunk of their base will stay home. Not that I think Trump needs that to happen. I’m betting he gets a ton of cross-over support from the dorman blue dogs out there. And I know they still exist.
Did Trump not give money to Hillary? Whats wrong with posting facts?
IMO Biden would be a stronger foe, so I’m glad he’s not running.
I’m not sure we have heard the last of Biden and the presidency.
A popular groundswell, break an impasse at the convention.
That speech sure sounded like a candidate.
Hey Nick,
Since you never answer others when they ask, will you tell me who you support for president?
I’d like to know, as well.
I’m betting if it’s Trump and Hillary, there will be no debates.
Glad he's not running.
He’s scandal free.... in part because everyone sees him as being too stupid to get into that level of trouble. He is seen as a harmless oaf.
I’m gonna add what I think may very well happen....
Hillary gets the nomination, sometime next Fall, oh, around Oct 1 Hillary has some sort of health issue and has to drop out.
What’s the dims to do?? Why draft Biden to take her place. No campaigning, no debates to trip him up.
Biden steps in ‘for Bo’.
Biden just gave the election to Trump. The biggest fear was running against someone who is 1000 times more likeable than Hillary and has the Obama power and coalition behind him.
It’s over Hillary.
As a side note, good sources have it that when Trump made that comment about Fiorina’s face....he was actually looking at Hillary.
