Will Joe run? Biden feels the push to take on Trump in 2020

Shortly after Joe Biden boarded a recent flight from Washington to New York, a string of passengers began stopping at his seat in coach to deliver some version of the same message: Run, Joe, run. “We’re with you,” one said, according to a Democratic strategist who happened to be on the plane and witnessed the scene. “You’ve got to do this,” said another.

Biden himself is more conflicted — but he is listening keenly to the supporters pushing him to run for the White House in 2020. Biden is convinced he can beat President Donald Trump, friends and advisers say, and he has given himself until January to deliberate and size up potential competition for the Democratic nomination, according to people who have spoken to the former vice president about his decision-making. […]

As he makes each careful step, Biden faces the same dilemma. For an elder statesman in a leaderless party, one who long envisioned himself in the top job, the pull toward another presidential bid is strong. But the 75-year-old former vice president must weigh the realities of jumping into a crowded primary full of up-and-comers eager to debate the future of the party. […]

Biden has eyed the presidency for more than 30 years, waging a failed campaign for the party nomination in 1988 and another 2008, before Obama named him his running mate. He passed on running again in 2016 as he dealt with his son Beau’s battle with brain cancer. The younger Biden died in March 2015, as the Democratic campaign was taking shape. …

How could Plugs become president? He can’t even put a sentence together when he speaks. On top of that his VP motorcade has created a record number of accidents.

The fact is that Joe can’t run a motorcade, let alone the entire country.

We have the groping photos, the plagiarism details, the anti-Asian racial slurs and other gaffes all set to go the second he announces.

This stuff only matters when Republicans do it.

“Groping Joe!”

Good one. Trump’s nickname for him, if he runs, will be interesting.

Run, Joe, Run.
Oh, oh. Spot can run.
Joe can run. Spot and Joe can run.
Oh. Oh. And Jane can run.
Oh. Oh. Joe can spot when Jane runs.
Especially if she is young, cute, and he can get his arms around her and kiss her.

The groping photos got Al Franken kicked out and the plagiarism torpedoed his 1988 run against Dukakis.

Of course, the media will try to bury all of it but he just needs to be swift-boated like John F-ing Kerry was.

And on these days of hearings for Kavanaugh, let us remember the contribution of Mr Biden in the destruction of Robert Bork.

Gov. Michael S. Dukakis, who has promised to raise Federal taxes only as “a last resort” as President, approved two measures to raise taxes in Massachusetts today in an effort to balance his state’s budget.

In so doing, he provided some new ammunition to his Republican opponents, eager to portray the Massachusetts Governor as a “tax-and-spend” Democrat. …

NY Slimes, 1988
Typical Slimes; when the man blatantly shows himself to be the typical tax-and-spend Dem, it’s the GOP that wants to “portray” him as such instead. Never mind the lie about him attempting to balance MA’s budget.

My fav gaff of Slow Joe’s is the report by a female SS detail that he would force her to watch him swim in the nude.

Pound#MeToo indeed! Please run Joe!

Biden is only going to run to collect bribe money.
