As he considers running for president, Joe Biden is talking with friends and longtime supporters about whether, at 76, he

[Olog-hai]

Same age as Biden.

[plain talk]

Biden has survived two brain aneurysms.

Oh yeah. I completely forget about that. While I would like to see him run for the entertainment value he has no business running. Thanks.

[teeman8r]

He will sorely do his best. Raking up a lot of muck on his fellow dems.

[Cowboy Bob]

Maybe he’ll double the 1% support he received the last 2 times he ran for president?

Dude, you had your chance. But you decided it was Hillary’s turn. You lost, and your party lost, because of the choice.
The universe doesn’t have to give you a second chance.

Before I sign off for the night, I just wanted to make this point, that even though he's an old geezer, someone should keep a close eye on Biden (especially when there are any females around).

Setting that aside for the moment, just watch this moldy oldie man, to see what an old fogey can sometimes do, when you least expect it.

Joe, if you're having to consult with your family and friends about whether you're too old to make a run at the presidency again, then you are already too old.

Being that indecisive is not the trait we need in a president.

That being said, don't these old politicians realize that American lead different lives than they do? Most would be glad to retire and spend time reflecting on their lives and enjoying their grandchildren.

Who in their right mind would be considering gearing up to run for the most demanding job in the world at age 76?

Joe, you're already out to pasture. Stay there. Don't embarrass yourself.

[wastedyears]

Creepy Uncle Joe.

Go for it.

[Seaplaner]

A few years back, I happened to be in the audience for a speech by Joe Biden.

I can report that for some of the presentation, VEEP Biden was lucid and kept a logical train of thought.

He is not, nor will he be a serious contender. That's that.

(Just to clarify, that's a youtube video link in post #26 for an interesting "old geezer" video.)

[lodi90]

The Dem candidate will be white male from Gen X. They’ll want to run a replay of 1992 in 2020. No doubt in my mind.

[grey_whiskers]

Probably takes infusions of blood — from child donors.

[faithhopecharity]

He has additional problems running- beyond his advancing fossilization

[Vendome]

I promise you Joe is not going to run

"The question should be: is he too much of a socialist, too much of a groper, too much of a perjurer, too much of an idiot."

Too much?? Sounds like the perfect Demoncrap politician!!

[Trump_the_Evil_Left]

Careful, this may all be a cover for preparing the MSM to launch a campaign saying that POTUS Trump is too old for a 2nd term.

We all know that is ridiculous, Trump is going great, but watch as Biden announces that he has reached the realization that 74+ yrs is too old for the burdens and rigors of the presidency..... then the MSM will try to leverage that into an attack on prospects for Trump 2nd term.

ROFLMAOPIMP!!!! That is FUNNY. Reminded Me of Richard Pryor and telling about someone (I cannot remember who) with RP having the Pet Monkey 🐒 trying to hump the guys ear and He’s screaming “RICHARD GET YOUR MONKEY OUTTA MY EAR !!!!!!” And the more He tried to fight off the Monkey the worse it got, Clamping down harder on the grip and humping faster.

[Salamander]

That would explain the Uncle Creepy Pedo thing.
