If Obama had dropped Biden, Obama would not be alive.
I think that Biden was dropped long ago...on his head.
Obama was so full of himself Biden was his perfect sidekick because Biden was basically the village idiot and Obama just paraded him around like a 2 year old, told him to keep his pie hole shut, and feeling that would add gravitas to an otherwise incompetent loser President.
The Biden’s son would’ve let Larry Sinclair speak.
How often do presidents drop a running mate from the ticket?
I’ve heard that if a president drops a VP nominee from the ticket for the reelection campaign, that it would be an admission that he chose the wrong man in the first place.
The last time I recall this happened, was in 1976, when President Ford chose Bob Dole as his running mate, rather than incumbent VP Nelson Rockefeller.
The real question is “what if there had been a viable challenger to Hillary Clinton within the Democrat Party in 2016?”
You could ask the same about whether George W. Bush had replaced Dick Cheney in 2004. Would we have been stuck with RINO McCain? My own theory is that Bush and McCain struck a deal in 2004 whereby McCain would stop trying to sabotage Bush’s re-election bid and, in return, the GOP would clear the decks for McCain to get the nomination in 2008.
The sitting VP could not have presented any sort of threat to Hildebeast.
I am certain that’s why it did not happen.
When Obama was President, his focus was on himself, not his party, and certainly not the country. He could have run for reelection with Hillary as the VP candidate, enhancing her chances (and the Democrat Party's chances) at occupying the White House after the 2016 election. He did not do that. By keeping 'Stoopid Joe' Biden as VP, he promoted his own legacy, at his party's expense.
The previous Democrat president provides an even more obvious example of that "ME FIRST!!!" attitude that dominates Democrat politics. When the public (belatedly) became aware of B.J. Clinton's inability to keep his pants zipped in the Oval Office, Billy Jeff could have, and should have, resigned. If he had stepped down shortly after the midpoint of his second term, it would have almost guaranteed nearly 10 years in the White House for Al Gore (and the Democrat Party). But B.J. was more concerned with his own legacy ("ME FIRST!!!" once again).
You want to shut down any Democrat who's whining about the 2000 election? Just point out that Clinton could have guaranteed 10 years of President Al Gore, simply by doing the right thing, and resigning...
We know Joe and we know the essence of Joe is good comedy and bad news completely untroubled by conscience or morality.
Vice President of the US, Joe Biden ... what a Joke on US. Ha ha ha ... Get it?
