Joe Biden needs a vice president who won’t try to steal his job
New York Post ^ | June 19, 2020 | John Podhoretz

Joe Biden is 112 years old and can barely speak a coherent sentence. So it matters greatly whom he picks to be his running mate. The chances that his veep selection might end up becoming president during his term can’t be discounted.

Democrats have spent the Trump years talking about the virtues of the 25th Amendment. It lays out a process inside the executive branch that would temporarily and, if necessary, permanently replace a living president deemed by his Cabinet to be too infirm to serve as the most powerful man in the world.

It was never going to happen: President Trump’s own aggressiveness, and his deep bond with his voters, made any such notion unthinkable outside the fever swamps of cable news.

Still, there’s no question Democrats and liberals have softened the ground when it comes to the idea of invoking the 25th. Now think of Biden’s position. Except for a few weeks of trouble, he basically coasted into the nomination and is likely to try and coast into the presidency. He hasn’t ­engaged the passions of his party, and there isn’t a Biden “wing” to speak of.

Moreover, let’s face it, he does seem a tad impaired. In one of his recent YouTube ads, he literally speaks these words: “I’m coming to you for ask a quick favor.” For ask a quick favor? If this is the take his people used, can you imagine what the other, rejected takes were like?

So how safe from the 25th would Biden be from a party, a Cabinet and a Democratic Congress thrilled to have beaten Trump but neither afraid nor respectful of Uncle Joe? Would the Democrats who want to foment a cultural revolution not feel tempted to hasten the change by ditching the figurehead through the 25th

Joe has practically predicted he would die in office. Well don’t you worry about it Joe. Ain’t gonna happen.

The bottom line is this: Whoever the communists pick for PedoJoe’s VP, that’s who’s really would be the POTUS IF, God forbid, should they prevail. Of course, insane libs, low-IQ BLM types, woke techies, snowflakes, soccer moms across the fruited plain, etc. are not really intelligent enough to fully appreciate that.

Biden is better off just staying in his basement along with all the other worn-out and useless odds and ends, and junk.

The odds of his VP becoming president in his first term are 100%. Only thing in the way is Jill Biden, who is the puppet master right now. She is his handler, and running the show. She will be actual president, until they get rid of him.

This is all a moot point. Biden will NOT win the election in November, even IF he is still on the Communist Party ticket at that time.

The first thing Biden will do is kneel before his black running mate.

i was going to advise Biden to pick the person with the most experience. But on second thought, no.

I didn’t read past the first few sentences. The author’s ignorance about the 25th Amendment is pathetic.

“Steal his job”? Come on, if he does get elected, nobody will have to ‘steal his job’ - a couple of days into it, he’ll just misplace it, forget where he is, and probably who he is, and go back in his basement to babble to his cat.

It’s all academic as there is little or no chance that Biden gets elected.
