Slow old Joe....say it isn’t so! Now please stand up Chuck!
I’d toss in that any contest between Biden and Hillary would be brutal. Both know They are far too old to get another shot at this.
If Biden is going to run, it will be accompanied by an indictment against Hillary for one of her hundreds of criminal acts so she will be unsalvageable for the election.
I’m betting on an indictment sooner than later. Nothing will come of it, but it will drive her out of the race.
...Unless she has something that truly would bring down obama, then all bets are off. If anything, Hillary is capable of “going nuclear” where Bill would have used some sort of discretion.
His poll numbers confirm you are correct.
He’s coming to VA Beach on Friday. Venue sold out within an hour of the announcement! I was at work so I couldn’t sign up to go. Free event but you ned a ticket.
I wish I could but for some insane reason Biden is considered “likable” by blue collar voters. These “Bubba” voters are the same idiots who go to the poll year after year to re-elect people who are raping their paychecks and destroying their kids futures.
i think he is more of a threat than most people realize. i hope he doesn’t run, pantsuit and the socialist will get crushed.
I’m terrified of the Democrat period whether it’s Clinton, Sanders, or Biden.
Newt said last night we might see the first openly socialist candidate.
And he Crushed Ryan in the debate. He is ruthless.
Cruz would have Biden in the wheel chair pushing himself over the cliff just trying to get away from Cruz after the first question.
GO TED GO. These polls are bunk.
WAKE up America, Ted is fighting for your future now and will in the future.
Not just hype but the real deal
He crushed Ryan because Ryan had no balls. First thing you do with Biden is ask him if he has plagiarized anyone lately. Then ask him about why his son is over in the Ukraine running one of their oil industries. He would start stammering and then he would automatically fall apart.

When he lost his pine because he would rather swim in the senate than have some principles he lost all.
I keep wondering where the Paultards are with all that he has done recently
I’ll accept that.
Sans anything else, it is their ball game and there’s not much we can do about it.
We see the evidence of wildly diverging scores (if you will), so what you point out is obvious.
Still there are some polls that are better than others, even in this environment. Yes they are frustrating, but campaigns are based on them. You can’t just ignore them.
True enough also, that the only real firm polls are the primaries and caucuses themselves.
Even those are gamed IMO.
Yep, that’s Lindsey, release the Graham Cracka!
Carson is the "none of the above" candidate and he is black, both of which are significant advantages in polling in the current political climate. A Trump/Carson unity ticket, or whoever the two top candidates end up as, ticket is intriguing. Reagan/Bush is the model.
I agree with your “none of the above” point.
Carson as Trumps V.P. pick causes me to think he would be as caustic to Trumps legacy as Bush was to Reagan’s.
Bush was the first president that refused to enforce the new 1986 Immigration policy that would have prevented upwards of 30 million illegals flooding in.
Cruz would be a better fit >IMO.
I prefer Cruz as President. I do not think this is his year and I do not think Cruz helps Trump electorally like Carson does. Carson has the potential to alter that 95/5 black vote for the Democrat significantly, putting far more states in play than Cruz could do. After Carson, Rubio may be the next most helpful electoral choice, although an argument could be made for Fiorina (unless you agree with me that her Russian statements paint her as too reckless). Perhaps Gov. Martinez could help more out West. Then there is Gov. Christie who might, with Trump, alter the NY/NJ equation enough to put a few states in play (NH, NJ, PA). A dark horse VP would be Bush to mimic Reagan/Bush in the public mind. It only makes sense if Bush endures and gets second place in delegates.
I want you to remember that Bush did not carry on Reagan’s legacy. In no small measure, he started dismantling it.
He was the first president to refuse to implement the new tougher 1986 Immigration laws. He and future presidents brought us to where we are today, with OPEN BORDERS.
I realize it is common for conventional thinkers to think balancing out a ticket is a great idea. I don’t share that view.
Right now Trump is winning a lot of support by hawking Conservatism. Let’s look at just one of his platform ideas.
He wants to crack down on illegal immigration. He has gotten kudos for this. Folks want that same thing.
Would it strengthen that support for him to pick a person who did not want to crack down on immigration? Of course not. People would immediately think Trump was not committed to his own platform.
There’s your answer right there. You pick someone who shares your views. This causes folks to know you’re dead serious about achieving your goals.
I am certain that Reagan was talked into “balancing” his ticket. It’s probably one of the biggest mistakes he made.
I do not urge that on Trump.
Yes, I concur; Reagan may have sensed he would not win a first term without a unity ticket including Bush. Trump will make his own decision about a running mate, should he win the nomination, and then we can reflect.
