Joe Biden Rules Out 2020 Presidential Run
Breitbart ^ | June 262018 | Joshua Caplan

Posted on 06/26/2018 12:00:24 PM PDT by Hojczyk

Former Vice President Joe Biden said in an interview published Tuesday that he will not run for president in 2020.

“It makes me feel guilty about not wanting to [run for president],” Biden told Josh Rogin of the Washington Post during a wide-ranging interview on U.S.-EU relations under the Trump administration. “But it doesn’t make me want to. I’m not looking to live in the White House, I’ve seen it up close.”

“But all kidding aside, I don’t know what I’m going to do,” the 75-year-old added.

During a March 2017 event at Colgate University, Biden said he was “fairly confident” he could have beaten Trump in the general election.

“I had planned on running for president and although it would have been a very difficult primary, I think I could have won,” he told attendees. “I don’t know, maybe not. But I thought I could have won.

“I had a lot of data and I was fairly confident that if I were the Democratic Party’s nominee, I had a better than even chance of being president,” he added. “But do I regret not being president? Yes. I was the best qualified.”

But Maxine, Fauxcohantas and Hillary haven’t ruled it out, have they?

He fears the #MeToo movement.

There are tons of “hands-on” images of Biden out there touching women and teenage girls, including the daughter of Delaware Senator Coons and the wife of former SecDef Ashton Carter.

Many of those images have been posted on Free Republic over the years.

Just say whatever comes to the top of your mind, and be the best gaff machine you can be.

If the Democrats were smart (which thank God they aren’t), they’d go with Bloomberg. I think he would be Trump’s Kryptonite.

But I think the DNC is hell-bent on going way left.

There will be some type of October surprise. It will all be b.s., but there will not be enough time to refute the b.s. before the election. This is so predictable.”

I’m thinking Kamala is the designated loser.

Closed door meeting with his people:

Joe: come on, I’ll do it, people love me, I’d love to be president, I’d be great!

Advisor: we don’t think it would be a great idea and we don’t think you’d do well in the primaries.

Joe: Whaddya talkin about? The people LOVE me! Everywhere I go! Why just yesterday a lady shook my hand and said everyone she knows hopes I’m running!

Advisor: well, it’s just that in this #metoo climate, there are all these YouTube videos of you being pretty affectionate with girls at photo sessions...

Joe: aw, come on! I love kids! I am just a hugger!!

Advisor: it’s just not going to play. Take a look at this 15 minute compilation

(15 mins pass)

Advisor: that is not going to play well on tv, Joe.

Joe: who told those assholes to film me up close like that!? They make everything I do look sinister! Why were there videos at all!?

Advisor: those little kids were trying to get away from you, Joe. Why did you keep pressing in? Looks like you’re [bleep]ing that one. What the hell?

Joe: this is sick! You’re all sick! Fine! I don’t wanna be President any more! Bring me my chocolate milk and get the hell out!

Has he forgotten that Obama picked him from the bottom of the barrel in 2008?

This was expected. If not now, then a year from now.
What about ‘Her’? She who should not be named.
She, like some other failed presidential candidates might be hooked on the attention all such serious candidates get.
Sort of like desperately wanted to get married, not for romance, but just for the fancy clothes, the ‘surprise gifts’ along with the attention and excitement.

History informs about two comparable times:

1968-1972 NIXON, when the Silent Majority went back to back for law & order, national defense during time of violent leftist civil unrest

1980-1984 REAGAN, when again the Silent Majority went back to back for law & order, national defense, in liht of weakness under Carter

Old Joe can see that Maxine is doing his side harm, in election prospects. The major Fakestream news organs are writing warnings now/today about this topic.

Joe is an old pro, and understands this too, I believe. At 75 why bust his tail, only to lose?

What exactly about Joe Biden's performance in the 2008 Democratic presidential primaries told him that?

Or the 1988 primary when he was steamrollered by... Mike Dukakis, Jesse Jackson, AlGore and Paul Simon's bowtie.

While it's true that Hillary is so unlikeable that even he might have had fighting chance against her, the Clinton Machine does what it has to do and would have been absolutely relentless in its treatment of him.

Democrats have no one of stature to run against Trump!

The exit of Slow Joe is a serious blow to them. This isn’t what they wanted.

And Trump is more popular than ever.
