"I like Biden on a personal basis, but I think he is a walking time-bomb," Hume said. "I think his age is an issue, I’m the same age as he is, my age is an issue, I think his is too... the filters don’t work as well, the memory isn’t as sharp.
"You might blurt out things as he did the other day when he said China is no competitor of ours. Now, I can kind of get where he was coming from on that, meaning you know we are the best and nobody can beat us. But that’s not how it came out and that is not how he said it.
"He is gaffe-prone and always has been and I don’t think that he’s less-so now. He’s got a lot of strengths, he’s got a huge body of sympathetic support in the party, and he’ll be able to raise money. He’ll be in this, but it’s a high-wire act and I’m not sure he can make it.”
Hume also didn't put complete faith in Biden's substantial lead in polling, noting how early Democrats were in the race for their party's nomination. The former VP consistently outpolled his Democratic competitors -- even before he announced his candidacy -- and, according to a Fox News poll conducted in May, Biden led the pack with 35 percent of the support of Democratic primary voters.
Amy Walter, National Editor of the Cook Political Report, had a more positive view of Biden's bid to win the Democratic nomination but agreed with Hume he does not have an easy path.
“I think right now he looks like the safest choice for Democrats," Walter said on "The Candidates."

He’s nuts, Jim.
Why?
Creepy Joe (”Sleepy Joe” is not good enough) is incurably afflicted with Foot In Mouth Disease. He will say or do something to destroy his candidacy.
I remember 1988 like it was 31 years ago. He was terrible as a candidate then and has just gotten worse. So happy to see him doing so well - he is a time bomb
The New Hampshire primary is NINE months away....a lifetime in politics.
Much will happen between now and then.
I watched him answering a reporters question about a week ago and I could not understand what he was rambling about.
He’s the placeholder. The marker. The frontline troop to take all the fire. Cannon fodder. He’s a pawn. He’s NOT going to be the candidate.
Why?
Because they're both from the swamp
Establishment Media swooning over Pete (don’t call him Peter) Butthead. Biden about to go through Round 2 of the Dump Joe movement.
I think it will be Biden/Harris.
Biden/Warren would be fun to watch.
Sanders/Warren would be a riot!
None of them stand a chance against Trump
One of my left leaning friends thinks Buttboy will be the next President. (snicker)
Nothing sez get the inner city black vote out better than a loony old white dude.
Moosh sweeps in at the end?
Just a placeholder for ‘Mike’ Obama, is my guess.
He probably already has his concession speech (for the nomination) written for him to recite on command.
Valerie Jarrett has scribbled it down.

If he gets the nomination, he will pick Felonia Von Pantsuit as his running mate. If they win the election, Uncle Joe will suffer another “brain aneurysm” about a month after the inauguration, which will bring The Beast Who Must Not Be Named to the presidency.
Who do you think will be the candidate?
Agree. There’s no reason to assume it’s Biden.
Pretty sure he’s only there, because he can win (in their minds). His running mate will be the intended candidate to be prez.
Harris is not eligible, Warren or Frau von Pantsuit would kill the ticket. It will be one of the other misfits they pick out of the democrap dumpster.
