Shortly after Joe Biden boarded a recent flight from Washington to New York, a string of passengers began stopping at his seat in coach to deliver some version of the same message: Run, Joe, run. “We’re with you,” one said, according to a Democratic strategist who happened to be on the plane and witnessed the scene. “You’ve got to do this,” said another.

Biden himself is more conflicted — but he is listening keenly to the supporters pushing him to run for the White House in 2020. Biden is convinced he can beat President Donald Trump, friends and advisers say, and he has given himself until January to deliberate and size up potential competition for the Democratic nomination, according to people who have spoken to the former vice president about his decision-making. […]

As he makes each careful step, Biden faces the same dilemma. For an elder statesman in a leaderless party, one who long envisioned himself in the top job, the pull toward another presidential bid is strong. But the 75-year-old former vice president must weigh the realities of jumping into a crowded primary full of up-and-comers eager to debate the future of the party. […]

Biden has eyed the presidency for more than 30 years, waging a failed campaign for the party nomination in 1988 and another 2008, before Obama named him his running mate. He passed on running again in 2016 as he dealt with his son Beau’s battle with brain cancer. The younger Biden died in March 2015, as the Democratic campaign was taking shape. …

Run Joe run. We need you. Please, for America, run. That act of kindness will be in the hearts of America forever.

You can then join McCain forever.

Creepy Joe wanted to run last time...but there are too many videos out there of him unacceptably and inappropriately touching little girls.

Bite-me is a fossil on the political landscape. The people want someone new without the habits that guarantee corruption. Will people trust him? I think not.

Trump might actually play with the Creepy Joe thing. That would be flipping hilarious.

Shotgun Joe Biden and his son, Hunter, are going to have to explain their lucrative financial dealings with the Chinese Military. If the rest of the MSM ignores this, at least FOX and Breitbart will carry the ball.

This reminds me of Romney running in ‘12. Field a candidate who is essentially cannon fodder when your party doesn’t stand a chance...

Run, Joe, run. We have the groping photos, the plagiarism details, the anti-Asian racial slurs and other gaffes all set to go the second he announces.

Go for it, plugs! You’re as phony as your hair.
