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 cant 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 Trumps own aggressiveness, and his deep bond with his voters, made any such notion unthinkable outside the fever swamps of cable news.
Still, theres no question Democrats and liberals have softened the ground when it comes to the idea of invoking the 25th. Now think of Bidens 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 hasnt engaged the passions of his party, and there isnt a Biden wing to speak of.
Moreover, lets face it, he does seem a tad impaired. In one of his recent YouTube ads, he literally speaks these words: Im 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’s rich contributors have a plan—they will build a perfect replica of the White House somewhere—and convince him the replica is the real thing!
He can give speeches, meet with foreign dignitaries, etc., all the while still thinking he is the President.
Is Hunter old enough to run?
Biden wont be president. If he manages to get elected, his VP will be the actual president. Biden isnt playing with a full set of marbles.
It’s not important that HE think he’s president, it’s only important that the American people think whichever democrat or RINO we ever elect is president.
Thank God Almighty Trump is neither.
Your observation is interesting. Based on numerous examples its very clear Joe is on the dementia path. If he stays the nominee l believe the DNC has decided they can pick the President through the VP and bypass the nomination process. A devious approach only the amoral DNC could come up with. Jill is key here. She is the enabler. She is the one keeping Joe tethered to the moment. If, God forbid, Joe actually won how much of a fight would she put up to stay First Lady? The whole spectacle is nauseating. That we have allowed this corrosive party to fester and eat away at the countrys foundation is disheartening.

We just don't know how long the knife will be.
Maybe Bolton will run as VP for biden
Tulsi Gabbard
I don’t think Kamala would be safe either.
That, or he’ll sniff her crotch while he’s prostrated.
“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.”
Reminiscent of Woodrow Wilson’s second term, when Mrs. Wilson was the de facto President.
You think the Senator from Massachusetts is white? Squaw would argue with that. Obviously you can’t recognize .0001% Cherokee
Wish Trump would call on the dems to select a new nominee.
This ones so dangerous, he would just end up living in the Whitehouse bunker ...rubber stamping every Communism bill that comes before him.
“Joe Biden needs a vice president who wont try to steal his job”
typically, a Presidential candidate selects a VP candidate who won’t outshine themselves, a person who is less dynamic, less articulate, less intellectual ... however, that’s an extremely low bar for biden, so his VP would have to be a slothful moron to meet those criteria ...
Hmm.. didn’t know about Wilson and his wife.

Astute observations. They will stop at nothing. As Rush says, they hate us and want us dead.

conveniently ‘falling down the stairs’
a bit more involved there then ‘stealing’

At least Hillary wont be VP - having that would be like committing suicide.
