Former Vice President Joe Biden fueled speculation he might make a 2020 bid for the White House, saying Monday night that he believes he is the “most qualified” person to take on President Trump.
“I'll be as straight with you as I can. I think I'm the most qualified person in the country to be president,” Biden said at a stop for his book tour in Missoula, Mont. “The issues that we face as a country today are the issues that have been in my wheelhouse, that I've worked on my whole life.”
“No one should run for the job unless they believe that they would be qualified doing the job. I've been doing this my whole adult life, and the issues that are the most consequential relating to the plight of the middle class and our foreign policy are things that I have — even my critics would acknowledge, I may not be right, but I know a great deal about it,” he added.
Several election prognosticators believe Biden is laying the groundwork for a presidential campaign and that his association with former President Obama, who remains popular, and the Scranton, Pa., native's appeal to middle America could make him a worthy opponent to Trump. However, Biden said the decision will be made in consultation with his family.
I thought it was “Plugs” Biden
If by most qualified he means he spent 8 years as idiot number 2 that discouraged anyone from doing anything to idiot number 1 then I guess you could say he was qualified.
The problem for ol’Joe is that the Democrats are in no mood for a straight, white, male candidate. Especially one who has a history of being handsy.
"..the issues that are the most consequential relating to the plight of the middle class and our foreign policy are things that I have — even my critics would acknowledge, I may not be right, but I know a great deal about it," he added.
President? Of what? The local rotary club? Yeah, that might be a great fit.
“”The issues that we face as a country today are the issues that have been in my wheelhouse, that I’ve worked on my whole lie.””
Well, golly - Joe - it doesn’t appear that you were very effective, does it? So your statement about being the most qualified in the country to run is balderdash!!
Good campaign slogan - I’ve worked on these problems all my life so elect me as president!
76 is the new 69.
He’s been working on these issues (without success) his whole life. How does that qualify him?
Joe, you aren’t even qualified to say who should be president.You deferred to someone who wasn’t even qualified to be First Lady, fer crying out loud.
If you were the most qualified, why didn’t you run in ’16????
One word shotgun Joe the fondler. Guess he’s missing those award ceremonies huh?
Joe, the drunk, Biden.
Wait for it. Here comes another of his Gaffs.
If Joe Biden is the answer, then it’s a stupid question.
CC
Forget it, Joe. Unless you can arrange with HilLIARy to arkancise Bernie the Red
He thinks?
Sucked off government salaries his whole adult life and accomplished nothing. Obama picked him because Biden is an old white dummy who would make half white equally retarded Obama look smart.
OF course he does. He’s a commie.
They all think they are the ones who should have the keys and their fingers on all the buttons.
Biden: ‘I think I am the **most qualified** person in the country to be president’
He misspelled “oldest”.
“I may not be right, but I know a great deal about it”
Leave it to Biden to tell the truth without meaning to.
a serial child groper
Nope! Biden is the old white man with a calming smile. And there are a lot of democrats who want some normal person to vote for. But the 76 year old survivor of brain surgery is not qualified to run for president in 2020. He would be 82 at the end of his term, if he were to win. And in reality, its only one arm of the democratic party that wants him. If he actually ran, the press would start to report all the stupid things he says.
Democrats are looking for that safe good looking younger man who can attract white women. All democrat presidents fell into that category, Carter, Clinton, Obama and Kennedy were all 40ish good looking men. Only Johnson, who won the race because of Kennedy’s death, was an exception to the rule. And even Johnson had to quit his bid for re-eletion when the young good looking Bobby Kennedy declared that he was running. This is why the democrats want Beto to run for president. He looks like Kennedy. And for many white women, thats good enough to get their vote.
One too many hair plugs.
