What about Joe? In Hillary's shadow, Biden takes steps toward possible 2016 bid

Read more: www.foxnews.com...

Republicans: Oh please, Joe, run, we could actually beat you!

Sad, so sad, the GOP is in such bad shape with it's factional splintering that it's begging for Joe Biden to run in 2016 so they actually have a hope in hell of winning.

The rebranding effort amongst the GOP has split the party into three distinct sects, you have the TEA Party Republicans, the Fiscally Conservative Republicans, and the Socially Conservative Republicans. Each vying for credibility amongst all of the distinct sects of conservatism, each failing in unique ways. And each stating that the others don't pass the "Republican Purity" tests they hoist upon themselves.

I really love this part. This shows the extent of how Republicans disconnected themselves from the past...

Modern history shows every sitting, able-bodied vice president vying for an open seat entered the presidential race as a leading candidate, and went on to become his party’s presidential nominee. From Richard Nixon in 1960 all the way to Al Gore in 2000, sitting vice presidents have enjoyed an evident advantage in seeking the nomination -- though in that period, only George H.W. Bush went on to win the presidency itself in that race. Nixon won on his second attempt, in 1968.

(Bold & Underline added for emphasis.)

Every?

*Cough* Dick Cheney *Cough*

Oh I forgot, The years between January 20, 2001 and January 20, 2009 never actually existed according to Republicans. The entire universe was sucked into a void for those 8 years. No problems existed, no universe existed, nothing at all happened.

Just like Paul Revere's famous ride to warn the British that the Americans were coming. The modern GOP has ignored history, misrepresented it, and completely re wrote it in a failed attempt to bolster their horrible image.

Seeing the writing on the wall for yet another failed attempt at the white house, the GOP now is all but begging Joe Biden to run for the office. He's their only hope.

Hey, maybe they can convince Biden and Pelosi to run? That way they can put up any GOP loser they want and still win cause no one is insane enough to vote a Biden/Pelosi ticket.

Joe Biden is the Democratic version of Dan Quayle (or Bingo Bob for those who watched the West Wing).

To think he has a serious chance of being a Democratic Nominee or viable challenger to the Republicans he is more out of touch than what I thought. Hillary, if she runs, will get uinprecedented support, imp, since she is going ot be a package deal.

4 years with the possibility of 4 more with Bill Clinton back in the mix.

Testing the forum wind eh?

With the recent news about Benghazi, Hillary has a lot of
baggage already, this will add more.

As she said her self, she has been in this arena for a long time.
"I have a lot of baggage"

She is hardly presidential.



As for Joe Biden well....he is a walking gaffe.

Americans have always voted on Charisma, not facts. Thats why Biden doesnt stand a chance.

Yawn.

Unless somebody comes up out of nowhere, the Dems are stuck with Hillary.

She's the best they got.

I wonder if Biden even understands what POTUS means.

But he does understand financial corruption, so maybe he's the choice .....

Remember this?
Jon Corzine was THEE "The Stimulus Guy" !!

Corzine "helped" Obama with the stimulus

The Jon speaks...while watching the 2 big boys !


egg in the face !

Biden isn't a serious choice. FOX News wishes he would run because it's the only chance the shattered GOP has at retaking the white house.

Of course, I have always maintained that a viable third party candidate is the way to go, and what this country desperately needs. Someone that both the Democrats, and Republicans can actually civilly work with or equally hate.

Fact of the matter is, third party candidates not tied to the two major parties are the only thing in my opinion that will really save this country.

Hmmm, right, leave it up to the Obama apologizer to analyze the GOP.

Come on man, give it up. Break out of the 2 party paradigm already, most of ATS has already done it.

The upcoming democratic ticket will look like a top 10 wanted list of Al Capone type people, Or a Calamity Jane in Hillary's case..
An amazingly corrupt world it is today.. The republican ticket will look like the democrat ticket of 15 years ago, not a lot of difference there..

America is totally done..

Biden will run because Hillary will need a primary opponent. Not because he is a serious contender, but they need a primary to get Hillary's platform out there without being seriously challenged. Biden and Hillary won't go hard on each other, they will play softball, and it will all be to keep Hillary in the media while the Republicans are fighting it out. You will see Hillary laying a platform and the Republicans once again tearing each other down and trying to one up each other on how far Right they are.

Hillary will be the next POTUS, the election is just a formality.

players elected, into The Whitehouse.

I want to put this pic up for you to see.



Now, think about what I wrote, in the post JUST ABOVE YOURS, and then re read what you wrote, and see where the problem is.

Do you see the problem?

Is it becoming apparent?

I'd rather see an Independent in the WH, barring that I'd rather Biden than Clinton. Any which way you slice it, unless the next to impossible happens with a 3rd party... whether Biden, Clinton or any Republican in the WH all it means is more war and more debt.

Well, that Kook is going to be the next POTUS.

I guess it says more about the Republicans that they aren't going to even be able to compete against a "kook" than it says about the Dems.

A 3rd Party is not going to win the POTUS anytime soon.

The reason is because those that support a 3rd party only seem to do so with the Presidential elections. Get 3rd parties elected as Governors, Mayors, Reps, and Senators...and then start to worry about the POTUS.

But that isn't going to happen because of American laziness and sense of instant gratification.

Oh, just depends on how dirty they want to play.

Bill Clinton is the "adopted" son of George Bush Sr, what does that make Hillary.
A whitewashed Republican?

Old Joe has my vote if he does indeed run!

The past two elections make me question the above statement significantly. Anyone insane enough to vote for what we've got, not once but twice, would certainly be mentally incompetent and masochistic enough to vote for Biden/Pelosi. Hell, I may vote for them myself... it would be like political chemotherapy, come as close as you can to killing the body in the name of ridding it of cancer.

Just morbid curiosity getting the better of people eh?

The People: "You know, this is a swirling toilet bowel of a country anyway, let's go with "two blasts" Biden and Skeletor for the final flush."
