Vice President Joe Biden says he would have been the best president if he had mounted a successful campaign in the 2016 election, but that forgoing the race was the right decision for his family.
Speaking with Good Morning America co-anchor Robin Roberts in an exclusive interview that aired today, Biden said he had planned to run but changed course only after his eldest son Beau died last May.
No one should ever seek the presidency unless they're able to devote their whole heart and soul and passion into just doing that, he said. And, Beau was my soul. I just wasn't ready to be able to do that. But, so, my one regret is my Beau's not here. I don't have any other regrets.
For months last year the question of whether Biden would run loomed over the Democratic presidential contest. Then in October he announced that he and his family were still dealing with the grief over Beaus death and he would not seek the presidency.

‘You have a candidate who campaigns for months, gets the nomination, then bows out later for whatever reason - health, corruption... but only to have someone else step in as a replacement?? How can this possibly be fair ?’
If they dare try it, Sanders’ supporters will be on the warpath.
Better than the current _resident, at least. Better than Jimmah too. Even money with Fillmore.
"He's a snake in the grass, I tell ya guys
He may look dumb but that's just a disguise
He's a mastermind in the ways of espionage"
It's really quite devious, but I can't help but admire his work.
He's set things up so that he's the last person anyone would suspect, but the truth is...
Biden is the evil Brain hell bent on taking over the world!!!
It's true. You laugh, I know, but that's the genius of Biden!
He owns them all. Soros, obama, the Bush Family, the Clinton Crime family and all the rest, they all work for Biden.
Think about it...Joe Biden's been right there in the catbird seat from the very beginning, right in front of our very eyes just grinning, babbling and pulling the strings of power.
Everything's done out in the open, yet all while "hidden" in plain sight behind that "SloJoe" facade.
The Truth? Obama and Biden = Pinkie and the Brain
All these years running the entire show and still almost no one knows, let alone suspects, the truth!
People just laugh at the thought and that, my friends, is the Evil Genius of Biden.
Joe Biden: I Would Have Been the Best President
If he could only remember where the oval office was after the first week.
But he does love him some nuzzling...
Or assassination. Imagine BOTH The Hildabeast and The Donald are assassinated.
How can this possibly be fair ?
Fair? Fair? What has fair got to do with politics????
Has this ever happened before ?
First time for everything (although this would be the second time for an American Civil War)
Did you forget Nixon permanently retired from politics in 1960?
old Joe can’t remember what state he’s in
Joe is hanging out waiting confLicting to falter.
Bernie is making things difficult for his white horse scenario...
I am Joe Biden of Vulcan, and this is the Vulcan mind meld.
Joe is in the wings waiting for the FBI to recommend indictment of Hillary. If that happens, all bets are off.
Our founders set aside family issues/feelings in order to serve the country. I forget the name of the guy who was serving (Rev or Civil war) and he got word his house had been taken over and wife and kids were killed, yet he stuck with the battle for country.
I can feel some for the Biden family, but if people who call themselves Christian, truly put God first in all areas of their life and did what God told them to, they would not be making such statements as Joe is months later.
Did Joe follow God? Or put family ahead of what God was inspiring him to do? Joe and God know, but his statement makes me think he it may be the second.
Joe Biden has been the bought and paid for senator from Delaware, courtesy of the DuPont family since he first came on the scene in the ‘70’s!!!
Joe is a legend in his own mind.
Ted Cruz?
Best? No. Better than Obola? Without a doubt, but that’s not saying much...
Joe, Joe, Joe. What are you talking about?
E-Lie-zabeth Warren Tweets anti-Trump rhetoric in a few dozen Tweets...while no other non-candidate from the Dhimmicrat Party has uttered a word.
Good Morning America probably gets a phone call asking/telling them to interview Joe B-Lie-den about a presidential run in which he comes across (once again) as the grieving father who could not bring himself to run for President(sniffle, sniffle).
Somewhere there is a white horse waiting to be ridden into the Dhimmicrat convention hall.
Yep. Not too secret agenda going on here.
Candidates always get a bump in poll numbers coming out of the convention.
Candidate with a heavy heart-but-for-the-good-of-the-PartyCountry-I-will-accept-the-nomination might get a huge bump in the polls.
Trump should be blasting not only Hillary but Obama, Warren and Biden as well.
Make them all feel the heat for the BS they spew and damage they have done to the country.
Poor Joe...Idiot at large
