Here is a statement that everyone here would agree with!
“They will only run JOE if they (The MSM and the Progressives) were confident that they could PICK the GOP-E Candidate and that Candidate would be JEB BUSH or MITT ROMNEY”
I think our candidate gets picked for us they would put Biden in to run against them so they could get in their establishment Republican choice to heap the consequeces and blame upon the GOP-E President for the last 8 years onto the next 4/8 years.... Then they can usher in another Obama type....
I think you're overthinking it.
