Joe Biden's unique trait as a politician is -- and always has been -- his honesty. Sometimes that honesty gets him into varying degrees of trouble. Sometimes it makes it seem as though he's the closest thing to a real person you could possibly hope for in politics.

I don’t think he’s honest. Does anybody really believe that story about his dying son telling him to run for President? What a load of crap.
““Amazing Stupidity” is misspelled.””

Arrrrrright!
Amazing honesty, indeed. Like Iraq after the surge was Obama’s greatest achievement. (Now it’s a Bush disaster again.)
Honesty, my a$$
So if Honest Joe gets the nomination and picks Elizabeth Warren for VP, will they call it the Honest/Injun ticket?
In Chrissie’s BJ World
Same o, same o with Chris . . .NE upbringing, prep school, BA, private U. MSM just uses its cookie cutter to find these “geniuses” who sit there all day and spew lies about pathological liars
If he gets a pass this go round I will eat my hat. I was watching CSPAN back in 1987 when their “A day on the Campaign Trail with _______” got around to covering Joe Biden in New Hampshire, speaking before a group of teachers. At the end of his remarks he shakes hands on the way out and one fellow takes issue with him. Biden’s response, caught for posterity on the CSPAN cinema verite coverage, shows him arguing not the facts of the issue raised, but an ad hominem in which he declared, in essence, I am better than you are, therefore I win the argument. He cited scholarships earned, class standing in law school, editorship of the law review, various awards. All of which were falsehoods. 60 Minutes took note and managed to catch him reading Neil Kinock’s speech, including the parts about his father working in the coal mines. And that was it for his 1988 campaign. Should have been it for the rest of his career, but here he is a heartbeat away.
When Obama selected him, I cheered the choice, because I assumed the press would air the 1987 video and that would be it for the Obama ticket. I heard not a peep.
What is the logic chain that allows a voter to know this about a person and then still vote for them?
Chris Cillizza? Is that said as Seleeza? Heh...
The comPost carrying Obama’s water again.
Joe traded for YEARS on the story that “the truck driver that drank his lunch” and then killed Joe’s first wife and daughter at an intersection.
The people of DE fell for it every time.
Until a few years ago, the daughter of that drunk driver publicly shamed Joe and told he she would sue his @ss off if it told that false story one more time. So he shut up about it.
The truth—the truck driver was completely sober. He was coming down a hill and Mrs. Biden pulled out in front of him at a stop sign, and there was no chance he could avoid her car.
The daughter said her father lived with the guilt of the accident from that day until he died, a broken man.
But it wasn’t his fault. The fault was Mrs. Biden’s.
I have seen Joe up close and personal. He is as avuncular as a man can be, funny , personal and he gets along with all kinds of people.
But don’t forget for one moment that he is a rabid partisan who did in Judge Bork, Clarence Thomas, and is part and parcel of every decision the Obama Administration has made.
He is a dunce. How he got to where he got to is a mystery.
IMHO the real suspense that he has already missed is building his campaign teams. Even if he started last month the only “available” talent is either third or fourth string - Hillary has all the rest. And, they can.t abandon Hillary until she is officially out of the race. The longer Hillary hangs on the weaker Biden’s campaign staff is going to be.
Are we looking at popcorn or an extra-legal move by Obama to ensure that the Trumpers don’t end up in the White House?
I've been saying the very same thing here for quite some time....people are either too young or forget how much of a nasty, mean-spirited sarcastic prick he was during those hearings......should he run, those tapes need to resurface.
Democrats love to ride on the coattails of dead people.
I think Beau Biden would be one of his primary campaign themes.
“Vote for me, my son died of cancer. I’ll feel better if I’m POTUS”
He is an accomplished liar just like most people in Government.
LOL
Well done.
