IIRC, Biden lifted his stump speech from a hard left British demagogue named Neil Kinnick.
And by lifted, I mean almost word for word.
I wonder if Biden feels like a spare tire?
If they can’t patch up Hillary, he’ll do!
Joe Biden plagiarised Neil Kinnock speech

The speech by Mr Kinnock, as he desperately tried to remodel and rebuild the Labour Party, was widely judged to be a dramatic and powerful piece of political rhetoric - making it particularly tempting, but also unusually unwise, for Mr Biden to borrow its most significant passage without attribution to the British politician.
NEIL KINNOCK at Welsh Labour Party conference May 1987:
“Why am I the first Kinnock in a thousand generations to be able to get to university? Was it because our predecessors were thick? Does anybody really think that they didn’t get what we had because they didn’t have the talent or the strength or the endurance or the commitment? Of course not. It was because there was no platform upon which they could stand”
JOE BIDEN IN Sept 1987 during his first presidential campaign:
“Why is it that Joe Biden is the first in his family ever to go a university? Why is it that my wife... is the first in her family to ever go to college? Is it because our fathers and mothers were not bright? ...Is it because they didn’t work hard? My ancestors who worked in the coal mines of northeast Pennsylvania and would come after 12 hours and play football for four hours? It’s because they didn’t have a platform on which to stand.”
No plagiarism but Sarah could see Russia.

While making Todd a samich
yeah
Biden pensively thinking about a run for president.
Jeez. CNN is almost on it’s knees to get “Stupid Joe’’ to run.
How about his stroke and dipsh!t comments like “dey gonna put you back in chaaaaains...”....and the like...go for it, dims.....
What would make my day is seeing shillary out on the campaign trail blabbing like she tries to do, and the FBI putting handcuffs on her....can you imagine the clapping of hands and hoorays from across this Country?!!!
Translation: "We know Hillary's a sure loser"
As scary as it is, Biden may be the “best” candidate they have who has any legitimate shot of winning. Things are not good in Democratland. Hopefully the rest of America realizes that.
Really? Then why are you always mocking how many Republicans are running for President?
Oh. Right. Because you're CNN. That's what you do. You have one set of standards for 'RATS and another for Republicans.
Sometimes I think if it wasn't for double-standards, the Men Seeking Men mediums would have no standards at all.
I’d give my next few paychecks to see Trump deck Biden after Slow Joe paws one of the Trump women, preferably at some black tie event.
“Jeez. CNN is almost on it’s knees to get “Stupid Joe’’ to run.”
I know. They must feel Hillary is in big trouble.
