He is not running. He will get his clock cleaned by Hillary and her machine. Trying to stop the potential "first woman" president is asking for a beatdown.

In all seriously, he is probably considering it but the dynamics of Hillary and if he can beat her will weigh heavily on his decision.

 

[Mushroomer25]

I like Biden. But seriously is there anyone not currently eligible for social security running?

They're all lying in wait for 2020/2024. Why piss off Clinton now, and shoot yourself in the foot down the road?

Lol sad but true. I'd vote for Bidan.

Waiting for 2020/2024 as well as the Democratic bench being wiped out in 2010 and 2014.

 

[Chariot]

I'm ready for uncle joe, he's a lady's man.

He sure is.

 

[shinra-bansho]

Based Dowd effect.

Go Joe!

I'm super on board for a Biden presidency, friends. How do I make this happen?

Go down to the corner and tell them you've got some cash for Diamond Joe. They'll make sure it gets to him.

 

[Chichikov]

Is he such a good speaker? I've never seen him in video. I'm simply unfamiliar to him. Is there a video of him that could make me understand why he could counter Trump with his bullshit?

His speech at TAPS was amazing.

 

[Downhome]

I just saw where Al Gore was considering jumping in. That is sure out of nowhere.

 

[Vigilant Walrus]

His son recently died. Would anyone really be in a good state for something this demanding? I would hope for him that he takes it easy. He's been through a lot.

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Biden as the establishment insurance policy just in case something goes awry with Hillary's campaign in the near future? I could see that.


I don't see him running though.

 

[BlastProcessing]

Biden/Warren

Lets do this.

 

[Zophar]

His son recently died. Would anyone really be in a good state for something this demanding? I would hope for him that he takes it easy. He's been through a lot.

His son wanted him to run for President.

 

[chaosblade]

Biden wouldn't be bad, but he wouldn't be one of my first choices.


Him debating Trump would be amazing though.

 

[RDreamer]

Can we just get whoever wins to pick Joe again? I just want to see him eviscerate the other VP candidate in a debate yet again.

 

[ShadowKingpin]

I'll take Sanders over Biden any day.

 

[Big Green Anus]

If he does run, I wonder if Obama would support him over Hillary. I know Bill Clinton helped Obama with his 2010 reelection, so this would be an interesting decision.-

Probably wouldn't even get into it until it's decided.

Same here, but I'd take Biden over Hillary.

 

[Vigilant Walrus]

I didn't know that. Damn

 

[HUELEN10]

how many people here would actually vote for Biden over Sanders, or Clinton?

I am NPA. If he ran, I would change to Tastycrat JUST to vote for him in the primaries.

I want that man to be the next President of our Republic. From first choice to last, it would be Biden, Sanders, and Carson for me; can't stand anyone else.

I believe in Joseph Biden.

 

[m_shortpants]

With Hillary on the ropes, it makes sense.

I think he'd have a better shot for sure.

I wish Jerry Brown would run, but he's a bit too old at this point I think.

 

[Your Entertainer]

Watch his Paul Ryan debate. Dat smile

 

[watershed]

Supporters see what they want to see but a good reality check says Joe Biden isn't running. He is gonna finish up his time in elected office as VP. His name and legacy will become synonymous with the Obama presidency and he will ride into the sunset with Obama. He will protect what he's been a part of.

Right now large swathes of the democratic party are in the "not feeling Hillary/searching for an alternative" phase. This too will pass and all this looking outside of the declared candidates will fade once the primaries really get started.

 

[~Devil Trigger~]

Everyone kinda wants to see him debate Trump, basically.

That would be too much

that....
nah, its not scientifically possible.... unsustainable

rifk, the first one I thought it was someone not smiling. Then I saw the trend.

 

[Rapscallion]

I love Joe, he's great. Super practical and down to earth.

 

[THRILLH0]

Wow, lotta people can't wait to vote for another sex pest.

 

[jtb]

Maureen Dowd does not a "surge in momentum" make.

There is literally no reason for Biden to enter the race. Go home and be a family man.

 

[minor effort]

What's this? Democrats panicking? Their star candidate potentially in an embarassing trouble? The only other people in the race being a self-described "socialist" and a trio of bland nobodies? Begging former candidates and really former candidates to join the race? What's the narrative on this going to be like?

*looks at Trump making an utter buffoonery of the entire GOP establishment*

Oh, nevermind. Democrats in 2016 are solid by comparison.

For real though, I don't know of anyone else who has the charisma

to stand toe to toe with him.

It would be fun to see Biden go all-in on a debate. I'm sure Biden was coached by all his advisors to go easy when debating Palin so he wouldn't come off like a bully. And he ran circles around Paul Ryan when debating him.

A Biden/Trump debate is something to dream about.

 

[Paskil]

I'm going to laugh if he says he's not running.

 

[Hilti92]

Joe might be the one guy who can successfully combat the Trump style. Seriously.

Never underestimate a Trans Am man.

I mean, I guess it depends on how much of a reason you might consider a deathbed wish from your beloved son, no?

If Biden runs. Bernie wins.

Please run Joe

"Joe Biden election decision nears as supporters see surge in momentum"

So he's got... Joementum?

I love you.

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who remembers the greatest moment in Presidential primary history.

Obligatory link to his 2006 campaign ads account because so many of them are amazing: https://www.youtube.com/user/JoeLieberman2006/videos

Diner and Soothing are particular favorites.

 

[AtomnayaKlubnika]

Biden would be a much more interesting POTUS than Hillary. Hillary is boring.

 

[DrFunk]

Would love 4 more years of Onion Biden

 

[Alcibiades]

I doubt he would be popular with minority voters and in the end may up splitting up the non-Clinton vote. Clinton has been assaulted non-stop by Republicans the last 6 months while Biden and for the most part Sanders have been left alone.

If there comes a point where Republicans think Clinton is no longer the Democratic frontrunner Biden will be getting the relentless assault and I don't think he has the minority stronghold to fall back on.

Joe Biden strategy for White House run taking shape

CHICAGO — With his blessing, confidants to Vice President Joe Biden have begun strategizing about travel to early primary states and identified potential donors who could bankroll a campaign even as he remains undecided about whether to pull the trigger on a late-entry 2016 run for president.

The moves are a sign that after months of speculation, Biden is taking a few significant if small steps toward a presidential campaign, according to sources familiar with the discussions. Biden’s strategy, the sources say, would be to focus on South Carolina while almost writing off New Hampshire, where both Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders have considerable footholds.

Meanwhile, Biden’s circle has identified what they see as their potential voting blocs: Reagan Democrats, Jews, an LGBT base that largely credits him with pushing President Barack Obama into supporting gay marriage, and Rust Belt voters. They believe he’ll benefit from better stump skills than any of the other candidates running.

The read on Biden has changed enough in almost a matter of hours that a level of anxiety has set in among the Obama orbit, who out of personal affection for Biden are hoping he won’t run a race they feel certain he’ll lose, only to get pummeled along the way. There’s also some worry about the position that a Biden run would put Obama in, spending the next few months tangoing around questions of picking sides between his vice president and former secretary of state.

Several Obama campaign alumni, meanwhile, say they believe there would be a rush of their former colleagues to a Biden campaign — including possible defections from staffers currently working for Clinton in Brooklyn in a mix of Obama-Biden loyalists and junior staffers who’d until now seen her campaign as their only chance to work on a presidential race.

Ehh, Clinton would still win the black vote but Biden would definitely significantly cut into her support there. The guy already is known and has the automatic cred of being Obama's VP.

Nate Silver ‏@NateSilver538 2h2 hours ago

The real Biden coalition is Amtrak riders, the media, and Democrats who don't like Hillary Clinton.

Come to think of it that's all sort of the same thing.

Pretty much this.

 

[watershed]

If this gets serious Obama's gonna have to sit Joe down and explain to him why his political ambitions are gonna go nowhere. I fear Biden's ambition is going to get the best of him.
