2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Would you be happy or sad if Joe Biden was our nominee? [View all]MADem
(135,425 posts)31. Sad. Don't want to see him dragged over the coals at the end of a decent and useful career.
Stand by for:
--Cocaine abusing son kicked out of the Navy.
--Enabling Clarence Thomas and participating in the brutal excoriation of Anita Hill. Refusing to allow witnesses to testify to corroborate her charges...he is the man most responsible for enabling Thomas's ascension to the Supreme Court.
--Neil Kinnock. Neil Kinnock. And MORE Neil Kinnock. Copycat/pants on fire.
--TWO AVMs. How's his health? TWO, two--TWO AVMs.
It'll get ugly. And it's a crying shame.
The American people have said NO to Joe twice already. He can't even break double digits when the rubber meets the road. He just isn't a first choice. Never has been, never will. Great supporting actor, though.

I can live with Joe, Hill, or Bernie and prefer not to cast aspersions on any of our candidates.

The challenge I see is that Biden is inextricably linked to President Obama...
