Joe Biden
Related: About this forumI want Joe to run in 2016 . . .
He was my first pick for president in 2008, but am quite quite satisfied with Obama (and Michelle) - no complaints whatsoever...
But how can the President support him 2016, even if he'd like to, with Bill helping him campaign and praising Hillary at every opportunity. I believe I heard somewhere that Biden might like to run...
AWKward...

(54 posts)i sitting vice president and a secretary of state of the same administration will not fight it out in a presidential race. my guess is the party leaders would pick the one with the best chance to win and get behind them before any primary begins. i'm not real sure that Hillary even wants to run. I would definitely vote for Joe if Hillary did not win.

(838 posts)On Election Day 2016, he will be approaching his 74th birthday, and will have spent almost 44 years in Washington. It's too easy for me to imagine him saying "I'm done."
That said, I will be happy to vote for him if he does run.

(13,572 posts)I am a real Biden fan but we would have to consider that he would be willing and able to follow through to almost age 82. Voting for a president only expecting 4 years is not a good sell. Hillary is a great possibility but at this point, I believe her when she says she's not interested.

(5,066 posts)I think he's likely to run.Only 2 things could stop him
1:Health reasons
2 eciding to step aside for Hillary
If as expected ObamaBiden wins tomorrow It will be easier for Biden In 2016.The economy will be picking up.Plus people won't have
these cockamany lies told about him that there are about Obama.
My suspecion Is we won't see both Biden and Hillary run for nomation.I will be eather be Hillary or Biden running.
We might even see a one term only pledge from him If people were to raise questions about his age.
I expect Obama to remain neutrel during primarys because a few others will be running.I seriously doudt primarys will be a
cornation for eather one.Even In 1988 Bush had others runa gainst him In Republican primarys.
Biden Is my first choice for nomination.If he doesn't run I become neutrel and will have to pay atention to the others running.

(10,044 posts)I've loved Biden for years, since I got C-Span2 coverage of Senate hearings. He's nobody's fool, he gets to the bottom of things in a friendly way, and never makes an enemy even tho he can't help himself from telling the truth.
Now, so many people are wanting Joe to have his own tv show, finally seeing how great he is. Well, it's about damned time (Joe has been known to curse, only for emphasis .
I was one of his first admirers (outside Delaware).
I just happened to see a post by Heliman at the bottom of this thread that was hidden - I read it, and am so happy with the decision made by the Malicious Intruder Removal Team. Thanks guys...
