Joe Biden Would be the Democrats’ Weakest Possible Nominee

Combined, those seven presidents had about 22 years’ total experience in the DC Swamp, with Bush 41 having almost all of them. Bush 41, as we all remember, was defeated in 1992 by an outsider, Bill Clinton, who got a big assist from an even more authentic outsider, Ross Perot.

The other way of expressing the idea is that nobody has been elected POTUS without attaining at least VPOTUS within 20 years (less, I think) of first attaining statewide office. By that standard as well, quite obviously, Joe Biden is “(too) Slow Joe.”

. . . the only “it’s my turn” candidate who was nominated by either party and actually won the election was George Herbert Walker Bush, and he only won because he was carried into office on the enormous coattails of Ronaldus Magnus. When left to run on his own devices after four years of deviating from the Reagan agenda and raising taxes, he also suffered a miserable defeat.

The only sitting VP’s ever to be elected POTUS were John Adams (who was elected VPOTUS before the 12the Amendment, thus was not nominated as Washington’s political heir) Martin van Buren (Andrew Jackson’s VP) and Bush41. “My turn” is just about the worst criterion for selecting a candidate and - unless the POTUS is extremely popular - that emphatically includes being a sitting VP.

I still think Hillary would be The worst.

I think that the Democrats and their allies in the MSM are becoming increasingly hostile because they have realized that their chances of unseating President Trump in 2020 are very slim. Now a lot can happen in 18 months in politics but right now given the economy and the cast of clowns who have decided to run on the Democrat side, it’s looking positive for President Trump.
