‘SLOW JOE’ BIDEN FOR PRESIDENT??? SERIOUSLY???


Now look, I fully realize that your average Democrat is far from being the sharpest knife in any drawer, but I ask you, just how demented must one have to be in order to think that it is in any way a good idea that ‘Slow Joe’ Biden would make a good president.  Or for that matter, even a better president than our current disaster in the White House?  But, believe it or not such is the case as it now appears that there is a movement afoot to draft Biden to run for president.  And it seems to be, if we can believe what we’re hearing, picking up a certain amount of steam.  A group advertising itself as "former staffers and campaign veterans" launched Draft Biden on Thursday night, along with a website RunBidenRun.com, to organize volunteers and a petition urging ‘Slow Joe’ to jump into the 2016 race.  And apparently some 3,900 signatures had been collected by Friday afternoon. 

"Voters are tired of dynasties in American politics, and certainly want an election instead of a coronation," said Will Pierce, organizing director of Draft Joe Biden, in talking with The New York Times.  Pierce also said, "The House of Bush and the House of Clinton have had their run, and looking toward the future, Vice President Joe Biden is uniquely suited to tackle the issues America will face over the next decade."  Pierce also pushed back at the notion of a weak Democratic bench for 2016, telling the Washington Times, "We just need to get the best people into the race, and one of the very best is Vice President Biden."  Now no offense here to Mr. Pierce, but I think he’s letting his imagination run a bit wild.  For one thing, I think most of us would agree that there is more than enough footage out there of Biden gaffs to make campaign ads that would rival some of the most hilarious ‘Super Bowl’ ads.

The draft effort and website come as Hitlery faces scrutiny over her use of a personal email server during her stint as secretary of state and the possibility that liberal Massachusetts Democrat Sen. Elizabeth Warren could be persuaded to launch a bid. But it might be a pretty significant uphill battle for ‘Slow Joe’ because despite Hitlery’s continuing email problems, she's maintaining her standing as the front-runner going into the 2016 presidential election.  A recent CNN/ORC poll, no doubt a highly dubious source, has shown her with 62 percent of voters saying they're likely to support her in the 2016 Democratic primaries; Biden is her closest competitor with a mere 15 percent support.  Now that’s not to say, I suppose, that should Hitlery’s perceived problems take a serious turn for the worse that ‘Slow Joe’ couldn’t then experience an uptick in support.  Because, really, who else do Democrats have?

Though avoiding a direct blast at the Hitlery email scandal, Pierce told the Washington Times, "People know exactly who Joe Biden is."  He said, "They know where he stands, they know what he thinks. And if you’re not sure, just wait and he’ll tell you exactly how he feels."  He then went on to say, "That kind of honesty is missing from our politics, and we think that’s something that American voters will appreciate."  A spokesman for Draft Biden told The New York Times that there were about a dozen volunteers so far, and that the group would target key primary states in early summer.  But that’s just it, people DO know exactly who ‘Slow Joe’ is, such is the reason that no one but hardcore socialist Democrats would ever actually vote for him.  And personally, I don’t see enough American voters coming to “appreciate”, what Mr. Pierce referred to as being, ‘Slow Joe’s’ brand of honesty.

Look, I know the Democrats are desperate in their attempt to keep headed in the directed of socialism that Barry has worked very hard, and been quite successful, in turning America toward.  But can anyone seriously imagine ‘Slow Joe’ Biden as president?  What positive changes can anyone identify as having taken place during Barry’s tenure in the Oval Office?  Because the fact is that today we have millions more on food stamps and millions more unemployed than we had before Barry’s first day in office.  And today we over 100 million Americans receiving some form of government benefit - not including Social Security, Medicare or unemployment -  and we are trillions of dollars further in debt than before Barry set out on his mission to “fundamentally transform” American.  And it’s not just here at home that things have proceeded to get so much worse.  Not by any means.

The foreign policy of this nation under Barry, first under what we’re now finding out was the pay to play style of Hitlery Clinton and now currently with the rather unique ineptness of John Kerry-Heinz, has been an unmitigated disaster.  Because today, no matter where you look all across the vast expanse of planet Earth will you see a bright spot, unless it is something that has been set on fire.  You would think that if we have learned anything over the course of the last 6 years, it’s that when America withdraws from the world, bad things tend to happen, very bad things.  But have enough of us learned?  I suppose that might be a question that needs to be asked.  And frankly, I’m not sure of the answer.  I have no doubt that Neville Chamberlain is looking down, or up as the case may be, at Barry’s handy work and is smiling quite broadly.  The world is, as Ted Cruz recently described it, on fire.
