Joe Biden Is Running for President
The Atlantic ^ | 19 Apr 19 | Edward-Isaac Dovere

Joe Biden is running. The former vice president will make his candidacy official with a video announcement next Wednesday, according to people familiar with the discussions who have been told about them by top aides.

Seriously, he’s actually made a decision. It’s taken two years of back-and-forth, it’ll be his third (or, depending on how you count, seventh) try for the White House, and many people thought he wouldn’t do it, but the biggest factor reshaping the 2020 Democratic-primary field is locking into place.

He wants this. He really wants this. He’s wanted this since he was first elected to the Senate, in 1972, and he’s decided that he isn’t too old, isn’t too out of sync with the current energy in the Democratic Party, and certainly wasn’t going to be chased out by the women who accused him of making them feel uncomfortable or demeaned because of how he’d touched them.

The one thing that does concern me about Biden, over the others, is that he’s a guy that will get a lot more votes from Never-Trumper Republicans than with any other Rat candidate.

Maybe so, but I think it is doubtful. Biden is an aged fossil that progressive democrats want nothing to do with. Bernie and Joe are very old white guys and don't fit the new democratic political mold.

"Mooshelle will announce later on as the “hero” and name Joe as VP running mate."

I said that months ago....that team will win then 'ol Joe will become ill, step down and Mr. and Mrs. Obama will be back again.

The only real choice the Dems have in 2020 is to run a has-been like Joe for a "final hurrah" or an up-and-comer they want to kill off with a failed presidential bid. It's simply a question of who will be the "designated loser" as they have little real chance of unseating Trump next year.

Joe's advantage is they keep their options open for 2024. The disadvantage is that the last thing the radical wing of the party wants is to run another "old white guy" (unless, perhaps, it's Bernie). So running Joe risks really splintering the party beyond repair.

It will be interesting to see which choice the party machine makes. The notion that it will be anything other than a calculated machine choice is a fiction that the D power brokers will try to conceal from the primary voters, as usual.

So plugs...

About that deal you setup with the Russians and your son.

Care to explain that?

He’s announcing that he’s running from Charlottesville, scene of the death of that woman a few years ago. If it had been Trump announcing it, the media would accuse him of using her death for political reasons.
