Several possibilities:
1) He knows Hillary has the opposition research on him.
2) He thinks Hillary will get away without an indictment.
3) He really has no heart in it.
Add yours here.
His thinking can always "evolve" later.
He thinks he would likely loose and isn’t interested in running unless he is confident that he would win.
Bill and Hillary came up a sufficient amount of walkin` away money.
4) The Hitlerbeast has made threats of violence against Biden if he chooses to run.
1) and 4) are undoubtedly true, 2) is probably irrelevent to his decision, and 3) is doubtful, IMO.
Biden drops out, and Hillary doesn't know anything about where Obama was during the Benghazi attack when she testifies.
4. He was reminded of Arkancide.
4) He doesn’t want to spar against Trump, knowing he would be ripped to shreds.
And Br'er Rabbit really didn't want to get thrown into the brier patch.
They were just punking the GOP.
17. He can always come in after hillary is doomed and out of the race
(rush commented the biden speech was one of the best “why I am running” speeches ever)
4) his behavior is too bizarre for a viable POTUS. Overly touchy-feely, facepalm-inducing inane comments, no apparent justification why he’s VP.
“Add yours here.”
4) It’s all a dog and pony show. 0bama knows they are going to take Hillary down. When they do, all the sudden Crazy Uncle Joe will heroically jump in the race to save the party.
Probably when Sanders said crime pays,followed by the media cheers, Joe knew it was over. And he knows that the FBI is only investigating in a very narrow scope, not even looking for 30,000 deleted emails.
And that he knows the Justice dept will not allow a investigation.
He Biden is a loser,but I am disappointed he is not running to muddy the waters
You already hit it with this one:
2) He thinks Hillary will get away without an indictment.
It just took Biden The Slow a bit longer to realize what nearly everyone already knows.
4) Arkancide.
He doesn’t want to debate Trump.
Alabama Congressman Mo Brook (R) wants to start impeachment proceedings against Hillary Clinton on day one, if she is elected president.
2) He thinks Hillary will get away without an indictment.
I'm going with 1 and 2....
Here’s mine:
Hillary may be going to prison.
When Hillary goes down due to her emails, Joe’s hands are clean! He did not try to take her job.
Democrats will draft Joe to save the party. Perhaps right before the convention.
The feminists will have no reason to blame Joe - he will be their savior.
