Woulda, coulda, shoulda…
I feel he would make a reasonable candidate and overcome the dislike some have for Clinton. But it is impossible to say if things would have been different.
STFU Joe! Nobody stopped you, you did it yourself! Back the mominee, don’t be a dick!
Notice how everybody’s starting to talk like Trump? “I would have been the best president.” A big, beautiful president.
Biden never apologized for enabling Clarence Thomas for the Supreme Court.
They would have hammered with with a lot of bull shit like they are doing with Hillary, but the white males that like Trump would be slightly less pissy toward a white male democrat, and Biden has no Bill Clinton baggage.
Old news…now how do we stop the greatest threat to this country …Donald Trump…it ain’t going to be easy…
Have you publicly apologized for every mistake or stupid thing you’ve done? Obviously not, since that post was not immediately followed by an apology
Two sides making stuff up. ABC for asking the usual what if question - showing their asinine side is alive and well. Biden for taking the bait. He can never resist the temptation of talking about No 1 while firmly located in his present position as No 2!!! Biden! Biden! Joe! - please keep Beau out of this. We know you were crushed. Yours was a great loss. Just help the President end his second term getting a few things done. And stop answering inane question from people who should know better.
Biden helped put this cipher on the court for decades. That warrants an apology. Sorry, rube.
No, Joe…you really wouldn’t have been. It just makes everyone sad when you say things like this, and that is pretty much what your campaign would have been…overburdened with sorrow mixed with guilt tripping the country and peppered with your inappropriate off the cuff remarks. Probably a 1/3 of the country would end up bleeding out in bathtubs from slitting their wrists before your campaign would have been over.
Nonsense. You want a poll of actual Democrats who had big concerns with Hillary? There is one…its called the O’Malley ticket. Younger, sharper, much less baggage…and he got 1 delegate.
Good grief, people. While I generally enjoy your snarky comments, I did not expect them on this post. Have a heart, for god sake.
Probably would have had my vote in the primary.
Not specifically talking about this election but I think Biden WOULD have been a better President than any Republican since Eisenhower. I definitely wish he had run in place of Gore or Kerry. Tronald makes more gaffs in an hour long speech than Biden does in a year.
Eisenhower was courted by the Dems but chose the Republicans (for whatever reason) so I don’t really count him as a Republican … besides, by all accounts he disliked Nixon which is s big plus.
Biden was not as liberal as Clinton or Sanders in the Senate.
I like Joe, but anybody who is concerned that Hillary is gaffe-prone should be glad Biden didn’t run.
I am sorry for the loss of his son.
I am also sorry he decided not to run and, respect that choice.
I am a down ballot democrat. 100% He would’ve been my choice over Hilary.
I happen to like the “new” older Biden; so did then Senator and later nominee Obama, who had to duke it out with him in 2008. When he was looking around for a VP pick, he had two excellent senatorial choices: Senator Biden, the rascally Delawarean, and Senator Clinton. Nominee Obama figured, correctly IMO, that Biden, with his acquired folksy charm would be of far more use on the campaign trail. He had to ask him, by the reports I remember, twice. The real beauty of this wasn’t the shellacking he gave to Sarah Palin, R (Ignoramus) in the debate: it was the fact that in an emergency, Uncle Joe was quite capable of stepping up to the top job. Being President isn’t a job with training wheels, or one in which you can breezily announce, as has the Donald, that he’ll decide on his policies AFTER he is elected. The same ought to be true of the VP, who would be expected to step up.
Thought question: can you image what Sarah Palin would have done as president?
Sadly, the “old” younger Biden was vetted twice for the top job twice and found distinctly wanting: there was just too much baggage And now, I think it’s just too late: we’ll find, when we read his memoirs, that the loss of his son literally extinguished the magical “something” in the gut of politicians, the thing that makes them run and win.
Joe, take your government pensions, and stop talking. It doesn’t matter what you say anymore.
