Joe Biden, in Colbert Interview, Expresses Doubts About Bid for President
NY Times via MSN ^ | 9/10/15 | MICHAEL D. SHEAR

Posted on 09/10/2015 8:19:31 PM PDT by Libloather

Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr., in an emotional, wide-ranging interview on Stephen Colbert’s “Late Show” on Thursday, expressed doubt about the likelihood that he would run for president, saying that “I’d be lying if I said that I knew I was there.”

Repeatedly touching on his parents, his faith and his emotional fragility from the recent death of his son Beau, Mr. Biden told Mr. Colbert that no “man or woman should run for president” without being able to promise voters that “you have my whole heart, my whole soul, my energy, and my passion.”

“Nobody has a right, in my view, to seek that office unless they are willing to give it 110 percent of who they are,” Mr. Biden told Mr. Colbert, on his third night hosting the CBS program.

Mr. Biden made just a few jokes on the show

That's a shame. They didn't allow him to speak?

An “emotional, wide-ranging interview” with Joe Biden.

Just what Americans want for their late-night entertainment.

Johnny Carson even more deeply missed.

Clinton probably flashed her testicle lock box at him on his way in to laugh it up with Colbert.

It would be nice if Biden expressed emotional fragility regarding the thousands of Americans killed by illegal aliens in the country every year.

These people are so out of touch with the country that they have no clue why a guy like Trump is rising so fast.

“I’d be lying if I said that I knew I was there.”

Well, there goes another of the RATs “Bench.” So who’s left? Let’s see there’s The Manbearpig, Lerch, and Liawatha (if she can get out of the sweat lodge). Hillary is “dead man walking!” I read somewhere else today a comment that the RAT bench is so thin, that if they loose next year, it may well be 2024 before they have another chance at the White Hut.

That’s okay Joe. Sanders is taking care of Clinton just fine. Best for you and the Dear Leader to just openly endorse him.

I always go on late night chat shows when I want to express my deepest doubts about running for President.

If Asswipe Joe doesn’t run, that only leaves Hillary and I don’t think she will be around by spring.
I agree with Rush, the Democrats ain’t gonna nominate Sanders.
Whose left? Lurch?
But wait. He will probably have the Nobel Peace prize in time for the primaries. At least most of them.
By then he may be the only one left standing.

only the democRATS would try to recycle a failed mid-80's presidential candidate into a 2016 presidential candidate... which sort of shows you that it's not really about the face on the ticket, but more so the people or person behind the scenes pulling the strings.

**************************

Jim Webb (who has declared as a presidential candidate & then disappeared from view). Don’t laugh .... Trump was initially considered ‘laughable’ & look what’s happened with him. If Hilly ends up with suddely poor health from the thought of wearing an orange jumpsuit for the next couple of decades, Biden decides to spend his time in the swimming pool flashing female SS officers, Fauxcahontas can’t be persuaded out of her wigwam, Sanders isn’t acceptable & Lurch gets drunk on gin & raisins celebrating his Nobel, they may end up with Webb.

Will be interesting to see how the show fares if he loads it with politicos. I’m already on media campaign overload, and another year to go!

Wow....what honest and gut wrenching soul searching on deciding to run for President - with all he’s got, full bore, blah, blah blah....when he does he’ll be out there grabbing women of all ages and copping a feel when he can.

The real reason he’s up in the air about it is that Obama (or the Iranian VJ) has not concluded negotiations with Hillary about how she will commit to a continuance of Obama’s will during her Presidency. She’s stubborn - thinking she can tough it all out and pull a Lewinsky gambit response.

It’s getting tougher for her and more of her former allies are starting to turn, thus the Biden stories. When you hear Loretta Lynch say something about this email debacle, we’ll know something has been decided and the landscape will then quickly change.

We’ll see.

Hell, throw out Trump, Cruz and Carson, give the nomination to one of the others and I would probably vote for Webb.
