Voters don't hate Joe Biden, 73, the genial vice president who openly agonized last year before deciding not to put himself and his family through the rigors of a presidential bid in the wake of the 2015 death of his son after a battle with brain cancer.
Not most voters, anyway. In a nationwide poll conducted in March for Bloomberg Politics, only 35 percent of respondents had a negative view of Biden compared with 68 percent who had a negative view of Trump, 53 percent who viewed Clinton unfavorably and 41 percent with a negative impression of Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, who also is vying for the Democratic nomination.
Biden's favorability rating in that same poll was 57 percent compared with 29 percent for Trump, 44 percent for Clinton and 52 percent for Sanders.
If Clinton's email-related problems get worse or other developments sink her popularity far below even Trump's, causing her to step aside, Biden, as a more establishment figure than Sanders, would be the party's likely choice as a "slip-in" candidate and an almost certain winner against Trump.
Sanders' die-hard supporters would be outraged, of course, but they're already outraged. The online ranting of the "Bernie or Bust" crowd that a Trump presidency would ultimately be better for the causes they believe in than a Clinton (or, presumably, Biden) presidency because it would galvanize a progressive revolution in 2020 is naive

“I bet Trump already has a name picked out for uncle Joe”
Slow Joe
Grabbin’ Joe
Uncle Joe
Stealing Joe
Dishonest Joe
John Kasich’s twin brother
Any of the them would work
If Joe "The Depraved, Perverted, Monster-Masher" Biden decides not to "slip in" to the race, here is a whole baseball team full of other possible Hillary replacement candidates, one of whom I suggest the demonicrats might also try to slip in when they push their own "reset button" on Hillary.
 Jerry "Moonbeam" Brown |
Stephanie "Riot-Town" Rawlings-Blake |
 Al "Gorebull Warming" Gore |
 Harry "Accident-Prone" Reid |
 Barbara "Boxcar-Babs" Boxer |
 Nancy "Frozen-Face" Pelosi |
 Rahm "Running-Scared" Emanuel |
 Van "Commie-Kook" Jones |
 Michael "Nutball" Nutter |
Oh yes we do.
Eric Zom = Capt. Obvious.
Unvetted
HST took office about 2 months before I was born and left office when I was 7.
I would favor letting the illicit Hillary backers clean up their own mess.
OK, maybe invite the Israelis to the party, just in case the Hillary backers somehow all miss their marks.
However, he was VP, and went peacefully. I think the only way that Hillary is going is either horizontally into an ambulance or dragged from the stage, kicking and screaming, clutching the carpeting.
The possibility of a Biden walk-on has been discussed here for months. I'm wondering if Obama and Jarrett didn't expect an indictment by now, but James Comey has sabotaged their plans by being meticulous.
It's interesting that it's just now beginning to dawn on the liberal media that Hillary might not be a shoo-in.
If it weren't for the internet and youtube, we wouldn't know a lot of things we do.
When Creepy Joe is your best bench strength, you are going to lose big time!
A stupid Dim president would be better than another evil Dim president.
“isn’t it amazxing that the D’s don’t have a single respectable candidate to nominate....!? wow!”
It’s also interesting that they can’t find one who isn’t facing 70, forwards or backwards.
” The real question is, will Hillary go quietly or will she go psycho and threaten to expose any Rat that is not on board with her?”
The real, real question is has the above already happened?
They couldn’t find a bigger Insider than Biden. 2 years as New Castle County Counselor, 36 years warming a seat in the senate, and 8 years warming the VP seat.
Gropin' Joe!
.
Biden has always been a horrible national candidate. How many times did he run for the nomination and how many states did he win? He really added nothing to the Obama ticket. He is a dud and anyone who thinks he can ride in on a white horse and save the DNC this election is a fool.
so how do they get him on the ballot, i thought time had run out?
Yes. Maybe the D - commie- Islamonazi political party problem is dying out?!
Well, they better “slip” Joe in before the convention is over, because there ARE various deadlines to get on the ballot in the various states. Once the state election ballot deadlines have passed, there won’t be any “slipping in”.
