At SCSU, Joe Biden Says Jury Is Out On Whether He'll Challenge Trump In 2020

[TexasTowelie]

Former Vice President Joe Biden pulled his punches in front of a sold-out crowd at Southern Connecticut State University Friday night, declining to escalate a feud he sparked this week with President Donald Trump.

But Biden said “the jury’s still out” on whether he will challenge Trump in 2020.

After saying Tuesday that he would have “beat the hell out of” Trump in high school for the crude comments the president has made about women, Biden on Friday offered a wide-ranging discussion that focused mostly on his long career in public service, speculation that he could run for president and his assessment of the political divide in the country today.

“Honest to God I don’t know,” Biden said when he was asked by WNPR host Lucy Nalpathanchil, who moderated the discussion, about his plans for 2020. “I have to be able to stand in front of a mirror and look in the mirror and know that if I don’t run it’s not because I’m afraid of losing, it’s not because I don’t want to take on the responsibility, it’s because there’s somebody better to do it and/or because emotionally I’m not positioned to be all in. And so the jury’s still out.”

If you throw in your hat in the ring, it will be the most interesting campaign in 100 years and you will win every skirmish.

3. Dear Joe

PLease stop playing this game....you're either in or you're out and I suggest it's probably out unless the party calls on/enlists you which is what I think you're hoping/waiting for.

6. No, thanks. I don't want to hear any more insult matches between DT and our candidate.

DT can spout off like a 9 year old as much as he wants, but our candidate should be the adult in the room.

Hillary, who behaved as an adult, would have won without voter suppression and Comey's intervention.

But I'm not suggesting she should run again. I think it's time for someone who is not in their 70's to run. There are plenty of younger possible candidates.
