Newsweek: Joe Biden Can Beat Trump in 2020, but Will the Democratic Party Let Him Run? (LOL Alert)
Newsweek ^ | December 27, 2017 | Matthew Cooper

Posted on 12/27/2017 3:17:07 PM PST by Zakeet

Biden spoke poignantly about [family tragedies] during his recent cross-country book tour. And inevitably, he’d be asked about the 2020 election. That’s what happened on a crisp night in November, when almost 2,000 people piled into Washington, D.C.’s Warner Theatre. "I haven’t decided to run," he insisted, but the implication was clear: He hasn’t decided not to run.

This wiggle room encourages all those who believe Biden could thump Donald Trump. And he certainly has the résumé: After 36 years in the Senate and two terms in the White House alongside Obama, he knows how to get things done in D.C.—from pushing the Clinton administration to get more involved in the Balkans wars in the ’90s to spearheading the massive stimulus program under Obama after the 2008 financial crisis. Yet Biden’s greatest strength - his experience in the Capitol - could be his greatest weakness for Democrats. With anti-establishment fever still burning all over the country, progressives like Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts seem to be the ones energizing the party.

[Snip]

The former veep might have beaten Trump in 2016, and he might beat him in 2020 - if he gets that far. Biden is well liked by most liberals - he championed the nation’s first black president and came out for gay marriage ahead of Obama and both Clintons. But compared with Warren and others, he may seem too moderate, too establishment, too white and maybe too old (he’s now 75) to mount a bid in 2020. And if he runs, his progressive rivals will pore over a half-century-long paper trail and inevitably find plenty with which to bludgeon him during the primaries.

America may want him to run, but do the Democrats?

Even Hitler would find Newsweek as a joke to disseminate propaganda.

You guys are doing it wrong.

I, for one, am terrified that the Democrats have found the key to our undoing!

Don't run, Joe! For the sake of the country, please don't run! Trump won't have a chance against you!

I know I want him to run, because President Trump would win in a landslide.

It isn’t just the groping. There is a history of plagiarism and telling lies about the truck drive in the accident that killed his wife and child. Then you get to how how made his money. I mean Congressional pay is ok but he is now wealthy having been a senator his whole life.

The lies about the truck driver are the worst. For those not aware of Biden's past and think he's just an amiable dunce with long hands, think again.

Joe Biden is the most disgraceful man to hold the office of Vice President and that's saying a lot when your competition is the vile LBJ.

Biden used the tragedy of the accident that killed his first wife and daughter in 1972 to blood libel the truck driver involved, Curtis Dunn, for political gain. Not content with getting what would be tremendous sympathy for such a loss and benefiting politically in an unavoidable but understandable manner, Biden had to make sure he would benefit by claiming Dunn drank his lunch that fateful day in 1972 instead of eating it. Biden knew the compliant media would run with his story, but just to make sure he could maximize the lie and not be refuted, he waited until after Dunn died in 1999 to tell his monstrous falsehood.

This joke of a media that still cannot walk away from Dan Quayle's potatoe gaffe let alone looking in vain every single day for something about President Trump, has zero recollection about Biden's blood libel and is back to ginning up sympathy for him. We should not be doing the same here.

You guys constantly mocking Biden crack me up.

Elected to the Senate when he was too young to be sworn in. Re-elected six times. Single-handedly invented Borking, the most effective anti-conservative tactic in history. Helped Obama destroy what was left of Constitutional government.

And, the perfect candidate to flip the few votes in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania that saved us from Felonia vonPantsuit.

He’s like a competent John Kasich.

All in all, an enemy worthy of more respect than he’s getting around here.
