Jill Biden: 'America missed an opportunity' when Joe didn't run for president
Today ^ | 4-15-16

Posted on 04/15/2016 8:47:24 AM PDT by SJackson

In an exclusive interview with Natalie Morales on TODAY Friday, Dr. Jill Biden reflected on the decision by her husband, Vice President Joe Biden, not to run for president.

"Well, you know, I say every day, I really do feel that Joe would've made a great president,'' Biden said. "I think he has the character, I think that he's a convener. I think that one of his strengths is compromise. And so I feel, you know, maybe America missed an opportunity. I don't know. It just wasn't the right time."

Joe Biden announced in the fall that he would not seek the Democratic nomination as the family mourned the death of their son Beau, 46, the former Delaware attorney general who died in May 2015 after a battle with brain cancer.

Not America. Joe missed an opportunity, by choice. The Democrat party may have missed an opportunity too, he would have been a better candidate than what's running on their side.

America missed an opportunity for a tremendous comedy of errors.

Nope! The Dims are getting exactly what they asked for.

Missed an opportunity to nuke Wichita while he thought he was ordering coffee. Imbecile.

More like dodged a bullet. Unfortunately, another one was on the way.

I think it would’ve been hysterical, but a missed opportunity is stretching it.

I am still not sure Lying Dim Joe is not going to run.

I think Obama hates the Clintons, especially Bill. What better way to absolutely destroy the Clinton Crime Family than to wait until Hillary is the official nominee of the Democrat party. Then BANG! Indict her.
Then Dim Joe is drafted to save the party and the nation from Trump or Cruz or JEB or ..............

America dodged a bullet when slow Joe decided not to run.

I totally agree with that.

I think with the blue wall, Joe would have been pretty well unstoppable.

I think it’s possible that hilary or burny might be stoppable...but it will be difficult

Ahhhh...RIIGGGHHHHTTT!
Photobucket

That is the RESOLUTE DESK, fashioned from the timbers of the British warship HMS Resolute. It was a gift from the British to President Hayes in 1880. He HATES the Brits due to his posssibly delusional fabrication about them having imprisoned and tortured his grandfather when Kenya was still a British colony.

Cue up the Biden explanation of what to do with a shotgun if your house is being invaded. “Mr. President, what should we have done when the Russians buzzed our warships?”

"Well, you know, I say every day, I really do feel that Joe would've made a great president,'' Biden said. "I think he has the character, I think that he's a convener. I think that one of his strengths is compromise. And so I feel, you know, maybe America missed an opportunity. I don't know. It just wasn't the right time."

Yes, Jill, Joe Biden has the character a Democrat would want in a President. The character to wait until a man is dead so he cannot defend himself against an outrageous lie that your sainted husband knew the media would gladly spread and gain him sympathy.

“Let me tell you a little story,” Mr. Biden told the crowd at the University of Iowa [December 2007]. “I got elected when I was 29, and I got elected November the 7th. And on Dec. 18 of that year, my wife and three kids were Christmas shopping for a Christmas tree. A tractor-trailer, a guy who allegedly — and I never pursued it — drank his lunch instead of eating his lunch, broadsided my family and killed my wife instantly, and killed my daughter instantly, and hospitalized my two sons, with what were thought to be at the time permanent, fundamental injuries.”
Curtis Dunn did not drink his lunch prior to the accident in which Biden's wife pulled out in front of Dunn's tractor trailer causing the fatal accident, but that didn't stop Mr. Character from lying through his teeth about it on multiple occasions.
