[snip]“I think right now, I am watching, I think right now it will be Sleepy Joe, I think,” Trump said from the White House lawn on Tuesday. “I feel he’ll cross the line, so, what I think doesn’t mean anything, but I know the other people, I know him.”
He added: “I think he’s off his game by a lot, but I think personally it’s gonna be Sleepy Joe.”

Joe would “keep ‘em on the plantation” —— his VP would be FEMALE AND BLACK. And who would that be???
He is the least insane of the A-list contenders for sure.
Joes running mate could be Hillary? But she would never5 want 2nd place. However, 2nd could become #1 real quickly after a walk in the park.
I agree with President Trump.
The president is his own best publicist.
He speaks in a clear and natural tone. It’s remarkable.
Maybe that’s why the new white house secretary, Stephanie Grisham was chosen. She can take care of technical issues and scheduling. I don’t think she was hired to be an new Sarah Sanders at all.
Genius!
By Trump raising Joe up as the presumptive candidate, he sets Joe up as the #1 target. So, the DhimmicRATs will focus their attacks on their most moderate candidate, thus leaving only radicals to run against Trump in 2020.
And that leaves Trump as the likely winner in 2020.
....but he’s incompetent and easily persuaded at this point (which may be worse).
Trump is usually right but I dunno. I think it’ll Kamala with Warren. Hey, it’s still HER turn, don’cha know.
Stirring the pot...
Which is why President Trump doesn't really think Joe will be the nominee. As others on this thread have stated, the President is just setting up Joe as a target for tonight so that the Dems will be left with radicals.
However, the Dems will already be horrified with the prospect of Joe as their candidate when they see that Joe's bumbling reminds them of the Mueller disaster. They probably won't need much encouragement to dump him.
Missing in Action: Stimulus Sheriff Joe Biden
By Michelle Malkin - October 10, 2012

Remember when President Obama bragged about Joe Biden's fiscal discipline creds in 2009? "To you, he's Mr. Vice President, but around the White House, we call him the Sheriff," Obama warned government employees. "Because if you're misusing taxpayer money, you'll have to answer to him." Fast-forward to 2012. Call in the search teams. Since being appointed the nation's stimulus spending cop, Sheriff Joe has taken a permanent donut break. He's AWOL on oversight. In fact, he's been bubble-wrapped, boxed and kept completely out of sight. The garrulous gaffe machine hasn't sat down for a national media interview in five months.
The Democrats' trillion-dollar "American Recovery and Reinvestment Act," however, keeps piling up waste, failure, fraud and debt. Who benefited most? Big government cronies. According to Investor's Business Daily this week, a new analysis by Ohio State University economics professor Bill Dupor reported that "(m)ore than three-quarters of the jobs created or saved by President Obama's economic stimulus in the first year were in government."
Dupor and another colleague had earlier concluded that the porkulus was a predictable jobs-killer that crowded out non-government jobs with make-work public jobs and programs. Indeed, the massive wealth redistribution scheme "destroyed/forestalled roughly one million private sector jobs" by siphoning tax dollars "to offset state revenue shortfalls and Medicaid increases rather than boost private sector employment."
Will this Keynesian wreckage come up during Thursday night's vice presidential debate? It should be a centerpiece of domestic policy discussion. Nowhere is the gulf between Obama/Biden rhetoric and reality on jobs wider. Remember: Obama's Ivy League eggheads behind the stimulus promised that "(m)ore than 90 percent of the jobs created are likely to be in the private sector." These are the same feckless economic advisers who infamously vowed that the stimulus would keep unemployment below 8 percent -- and that unemployment would drop below 6 percent sometime this year. Sheriff Joe rebuked the "naysayers" who decried the behemoth stimulus program's waste, fraud and abuse. "You know what? They were wrong," he crowed.
But Biden was radio silent about the nearly 4,000 stimulus recipients who received $24 billion in Recovery Act funds -- while owing more than $750 million in unpaid corporate, payroll and other taxes. (Cash for Tax Cheats, anyone?)
He had nothing to say about the $6 billion in stimulus energy credits for homeowners that went to nearly a third of credit-claimers who had no record of homeownership, including minors and prisoners.
And the $530 million dumped into the profligate Detroit public schools for laptops and other computer equipment that have had little, if any, measurable academic benefits. And the whopping $6.7 million cost per job under the $50 billion stimulus-funded green energy loan program -- which funded politically connected but now bankrupt solar firms Solyndra ($535 million), Abound Solar ($400 million), Beacon Power ($43 million), A123 ($250 million) and Ener1 ($119 million).
And the $1 million in stimulus cash that went to Big Bird and Sesame Street "to promote healthy eating," which created a theoretical "1.47" jobs. (As Sean Higgins of The Examiner noted, "(T)hat comes out to about $726,000 per job created.")
And the hundreds of millions in stimulus money steered to General Services Administrations junkets in Las Vegas and Hawaii, ghost congressional districts, dead people, infrastructure to nowhere and ubiquitous stimulus propaganda road signs stamped with the shovel-ready logo.
Of course, there's no example of unfettered stimulus squandering more fitting than the one named after Keystone Fiscal Kop Joe Biden himself. Government-funded Amtrak's Wilmington, Del., station raked in $20 million in "recovery" money after heavy personal lobbying by the state's most prominent customer and cheerleader. In return, the station (which came in $6 million over budget, according to The Washington Times) renamed its facility after Biden. Bloated costs. Crony political narcissism. Glaring conflicts of interest. Monumental waste. This is the Obama/Biden stimulus legacy bequeathed to our children and their grandchildren. Sheriff Joe and his plundering boss need to be run out of town on a rail.

Also Trump will make it so that Biden won’t be able to distance himself from the radicals.
No telling who he’d pick.....but I won’t be watching or listening to him at all should he get the nomination....one more “c’mon man” or “pal” I’ll bust a gut!! That gets all over me....him and his tough guy attitude! Creepy lech!
Kamala Harris will be the nominee and Trump surely knows this as well. In this context, Trump is just stirring the pot because the rest of them have telegraphed their intentions to go after Biden in the debate.
The weekly White Hut HollyWeird Parties were certainly a misuse of taxpayer money and Chinese loans.
Won’t satisfy the Socialist wing of the D party. If she’s good enough for VP she’s good enough for the top spot, they’ll say. Why, the very idea of putting a black woman in the secondary role is racist and sexist.
Let Biden be HER VP. He’s experienced at that and having an old white guy being subservient to a “Woman of Color” would project the perfect image.
It's rigged.
There won't be any ‘hands in the air if you agree’ with some idiot progressive idea... Nope, that might hurt their chances against Trump. Might give Trump a sound bite. Mods won't allow that...
‘Journalists’ work hand in glove with democrats. On our debates we were told NOT to clap because time was limited. With democrats the sound crew sets up mics near the paid clappers...
