Replacing a president is a major process.

The average age of the last 5 Democratic presidents was 48 upon taking office. Biden would be 78! He would shatter the record for oldest president in US history.

Not to mention his history with the Hill-Thomas hearing, which will come up in this Me Too era. And his penchant for gaffes. There's a reason Biden has failed multiple times to come even close to capturing the nomination.

Enough with the Hill Thomas hearings...seriously.

Pointing out Trump's age and dismissing Biden's history regarding the Hill-Thomas hearing is not exactly a winning argument.

You seem to be under the impression that pointing out Trump's age somehow boosts the argument for Biden. You'll have to explain that one, because I don't get it.

goodness sake and I'm half his age-ish.

His age has nothing to do with his scumbaggary.

We need an old President. Republicans shouldn't be the only ones electing older people. I'm all for Biden or Hillary in 2020.

A lot of dimwit Repubs who use her for target practice. She got the last laugh last week.

politicians half his age.

compete with Biden on those issues.

I don't trust Biden one bit. But we'll see how it all play out. We're on the same team!

perfect...neither is yours!

"scared" him if he ran.

Would love to see either of the Top 5 on the top of the ticket!! (Biden, Harris, Warren, Klochubar, and Brown) Just don't pick an old white guy for the VP this time. Go for Diversity and Youth!!

trump in 2016, and have expressed some remorse by your statements that you didn't run.

Yes, I know you lost someone, but you have been "thinking" about this for two years. You should know by now. In fact you should have a better idea of it than most of the other potential candidates.

and others, bringing the subject up himself, and not only expressing remosre about not running in 2016, but saying he was more qualified than anyone else to beat Trump in 2020.


I am not being unsympathetic to his loss, but HE has been bringing this up about running for the last two years. He is also been going to political rallies, and making speeches, and alluding to this.

It is understandable about his decision not to run in 2016, because of the tragedy in his life, but two years later, actually more, because Joe has run previously, he has been thinking about this for decades.

This has nothing do to with his son, except that his son expressed a desire for him to run for President.

If he hadn't been publicly exploiting the run himself for the last two years, I wouldn't have even brought this up

You speculate I may not realize what the loss of a child has, or the impact on one's life. I realize it.

You are also speculating that his apparant hesitation in deciding to run or not is based on the death of his son. That may or may not be the reason at this time.

In my speculation he knows what he is going to do, but if he is truely is having this much problem deciding for whatever reason what to do, then perhaps he shouldn't be running, because making decisions is critical for a President

Enough already, you are either in or you're not. And frankly, if you can't say yes at this point, you're more out than in.

Strong Kamala. Biden should have ran in 2016. He didn't and that is his fault.

n/t...

Biden and Warren...………….two pit bulls. or Biden and Harris

but he needs to decide before the early announcers get way ahead of him and it becomes too difficult to catch up.

I’m all in on Joe!

Just a gut hunch. He knows what it takes to get through a presidential campaign and this one is looking like it's going to start earlier than those before. I think he'll say that he is confident in those getting into the race, that he would run if he wasn't. But he would prefer to do what he can as private citizen Biden to help the next Democratic nominee get elected.

I love Joe, but I don't think he's got the teeth for this race, nor do I want to see the gop smear him in their feces.

Joe, your time is past, let it go.

Btw, my message is the same for Bernie Sanders.

that sounds.

Unless you think 44 out 45 of presidents being white men is good thing and promoting diversity is bad because it hurts the feelings of racist whites...
Bottom line is Biden and Bernie are too damn old, divisive and saddled with decades of baggage. They should just be elder statesmen with the little time they have left and pass the baton to the younger more dynamic candidates in the race. However, I don’t expect either to do that as they both have big egos and little self awareness..

Let's count them, okay?

I get one: Barack Obama, African American.

How many genders beside male?

I get none.

As for age - are Biden and Sanders NOT "old"? Calling them old is not an insult, it's simply an observation of fact.

I'm old, I'm almost 70. In fact, I'm an old white lady.

Whites make up the dominant culture, they hold all the power. That's why your argument is silly.

I hope you're not going to trot out the absurd "reverse racism" trope to support your argument.

keep debating with yourself though since you won't do what I asked.

Personally I'm voting for the best candidate who can WIN THE GENERAL ELECTION...no matter what the fuck color, age, height, weight, fashion or other bullshit is in their past. Hows about that?

or something.

Amazing, isn't it - that a person should have to explain the obvious.

Poor old white guys - never catching a break!

chunk too with Harris in 3rd at 9%. I do expect her numbers to go up as she gets exposure. I would like Bernie much lower in the pack....much much lower.

but I wouldn't want him to jerked around. He strikes me as very humble, you can't find humble anymore.

It’s really too bad he didn’t run last time. I get why he didn’t but it’s still unfortunate.

Your generation had its run. Enough.

Of Trump for his age and military deferments?

He needs to get in or stay out. The Hamlet routine has gotten old.

......the hardest decision we will have to make is who we want for vice president. Run Joe run.

Just me and Joe
We can keep it between us
Nobody has to know . . .
