7. Because he connects the best with working class voters and matches up best vs GOP candidate GOP cannot counter with the "authenticity" card with Joe at the top of the ticket. When our candidate cannot connect with the foot soldiers of the Democratic party, we lose. Every. Single. Time.
Hmm.... MBplayer has a familiar writing style...

42. Hillary has an October investigation date just decided this past week, Re emails. Joe popped up by Thurs.-Fri. See a factor? as in if she doesn't do well with that, he's the fall back guy. She also came out as seriously dropping in the Quinnepeac Poll this past week
it would be too much to hope for that Hillary will be in prison soon... sigh... a man can still dream though.

33. Joe Could win this!
All the criticisms against Vice President Biden have no depth!
He says goofy things once in a while, but don't we all? He is one of us. There are no scandals, there are no accusations of any substance, I say again, he can win this!
I'm in my 50s, and Senator/Vice President "Joe" has always been there, he has been around long enough to have the sort of history that qualifies him to be the "Elder Statesman", the "Adult Supervision", the "voice of reason", he is what this country needs!
While I would love to see us elect the first Woman as president, Secretary Clinton has a lot of baggage that would make this election too much about defense, and not enough about offense.
Just my $0.02.
J.
P.S. I am sort of pissed off that my spell checker says Biden is not a word
:lol:

Putin, the Chinese, and Iran have to be licking their chops at the thought of another Dem as prez.

We finally got to see Barry's birth certificate.
This election cycle we need to demand that Slow Joe, Cankles, and Bernie roll up their shirt sleeves and let us examine their liver spots. None of those old fossils look vigorous enough to take on a tough job like being president.

When you view Biden as the voice of reason it says a whole lot about you.
-
DUmmies still can't understand that Crazy Bernie is not going to be their nominee.
The sooner they accept reality and embrace the Hildebeast the sooner their pain ends.

Huh.... I've never heard "paste eating retard" described that way.

Announcing a year (or so) before the D convention is, "suddenly & belatedly"? Had BHO and Tsaritsa Chill both announced by 8/1/2007?
KSFO's AM drive hosts were commenting Friday on the possibility of Biden jumping in. They were hoping he would, for the entertainment value. Biden has somehow mastered the skill of walking with his foot lodged in his mouth.

We may suddenly see democrat challengers oozing out of the woodwork.
The press says the Hildebeast is stumbling (she's still the inevitable candidate), everyone but the DUmp knows Crazy Bernie is crazy, and no one has heard of Mallory or whatever his name is.
But the big factor is Trump and his following of fringe loonies.
He can't be nominated, but he has the dough to go third party and take enough nuts with him to guarantee election of any democrat.
With Trump as a third party, Kootch, or Fauxcohontas, or Slow Joe, or Reverend Al could be elected President.

I think "elder" is the only word in there that could be used to accurately describe Joe Biden.

Holy crap! I actually just shuddered.
