Three reasons Joe Biden will never be president
Washington Examiner ^ | March 09, 2020 | Byron York

Joe Biden was sworn into the U.S. Senate on Jan. 3, 1973. He remained in the Senate until Jan. 15, 2009 — a span of 36 years. If history is any guide, is a disqualifier in Biden's quest for the White House.

What does 36 years in the Senate say about a politician? It says he is a senator — not a president.

It's not for lack of trying. Bob Dole, who was sworn into the Senate on Jan. 3, 1969, ran for president 27 years later, in 1996. He quit the Senate during the campaign to show his determination to become president. But his long years in the Senate, plus his age — he was 73 at the time and the subject of endless suggestions that he was too old to be president — were a deal-killer for voters.

Others tried, too. In 2008, John McCain ran for president after 21 years in the Senate. It didn't work. In 2004, John Kerry ran for president after 19 years in the Senate. That didn't work, either.

OK, put aside the Senate, Biden's supporters would say. What about his eight years as vice president? Certainly that could be the basis for a successful presidential run. But the second reason Biden will not become president is that the record of vice presidents on that score is not encouraging.

Fourteen vice presidents have become president. Of those, eight became president upon the death of the president. Of that group, some were later elected to the White House, but they were running for the office as the sitting president.

Finally, the third "14-Year Rule." "No one gets elected president who needs longer than 14 years to get from his or her first gubernatorial or Senate victory to either the presidency or the vice presidency,"

You need more than incompetent, slobbering senility for a reason?

This guy’s finger on the button? No way.

One reason Biden will never be President. He has an obvious mental problem and its getting worst.

Biden is a puppet. If he wins he will pose for pictures while others pull the strings and run the government.

Because he won’t be on the ballot - someone will be substituted shortly before the election by the Dem 350.

He'd probably push it, mistaking it for a video game.

Anyone who can spend 36 years in the U.S. Senate must have the intellect and imagination of a paramecium.

For all his flaws, former New Jersey governor and presidential candidate Chris Christie had a perfect measure of the U.S. Senate. When asked by a reporter whether he would run for the Senate after his term in office as governor ended, he said: “I would walk out and drown myself in the Potomac River on my first day in office.”

Three reasons Biden could very well become president:

1. The media will cover for him.
2. Voter fraud.
3. Voter fraud (worth repeating).

This is just a dress rehearsal for 2024. Everyone knows it.

I remember reading 20 or 30 years ago that Senators are one of a hundred and it’s easy for them to hide out behind the skirts of the other 99. Biden is a perfect example of that.

Senators and are NOT born leaders - they are good campaigners. It’s rare for a Senator to get elected POTUS and they generally make terrible Presidents.

Of course, that was all before the senility factor.

mistaking it for a video game.

It's an easy mistake to make...

Biden is a puppet.

Obviously. But do you think he knows it?

1: the scan of his cranium looks like a small walnut, with plenty
of space left over, about 95% empty

2: a microscopic sign is found, "this space for rent"

3: cobwebs, plenty of cobwebs...

Democrats are scared to death that they will lose the black vote. That’s why they are keeping Biden in the race. No other Democrat candidate has the potential to hold on to black voters like Biden.

3 Reasons Joe Biden will never be President:

1. Donald J Trump

2. Donald J Trump

3. Donald J Trump

There is no path or anyone to beat him... the only person who can beat Trump is Trump... as long as he is perceived as putting America First, no one will stop him... If he ever does something that makes people believe he is not doing that, his support will evaporate overnight.

Should Biteme bite the big one before the election, will his votes go to his VP? (I am betting on the Wookie.)
