Congratulations Joe. But I feel sorry for him. He's obviously cognitively fading fast and cannot possibly get through a grueling presidential election battle with his faculties intact much less handle the pressure of four years as president. The Democratic Party knows this but because he's all they've got they are willing to sacrifice his well being in order to at least have a puppet president that they can prop up and use. It's pathetic and sad. Poor fellow.

In an average of opinion polls, RealClearPolitics gives Biden a 7.1 point lead over Trump in the election.

What? We're expected to believe the polls now after 2016's polling disaster? Why do media outlets still print this kind of drivel?

To concerned citizen: How do you know, if I may ask. You should be concerned, however. About your own mental health!. You one of the people to parrot drivel about Biden? You like the dictator in the WH, enveloped in a shroud of racism, better?

No enthusiasm. Just a bunch of going through the motions by “supporters” and generic virtuous statements and gaffes equally from the candidate.

I can actually find more racist quotes from Biden than I can find for nearly anyone. he has been in public service for nearly 20% of the entire history of America but still.

Any true American who is qualified to run for Presidency should do so, disregarding his/her own health. Because the future of the country is resting on removing the current WH occupant. Sure it won't be an easy job for anyone but the country needs unity and leadership. And a level of intelligence and maturity appropriate to the Office of the Presidency. Dump Trump and let's really MAGA.

Biden is like the driver of a car that was in a race. All the other cars wrecked and dropped out. All the other drivers gave Bidens car all their gas and spare parts and their repair crews to ensure he could finish the race, no matter what!

Biden then pulled the car over to the side of the track and took a nap. Months later, he got back in the car and drove 500m to the finish line, unopposed.

Sure the car won the race, but that doesnt mean Biden has to be the driver from now on, or that he is a good driver.

Trump is like the driver of the garbage truck that comes around after the race to pick up all the filth...

too bad the article isnt about Trump.

Maybe you should read it again and count how many times his name is mentioned - at least 5....

And Trump wouldn't be the garbage truck driver, he'd be riding in the back...

The only way Jailin' Joe is ever going to redeem himself in my eyes is to choose Bernie Sanders as his VP and swear to make up for how his "get tough on crime" garbage ruined the lives of countless Americans and damn well make good on that promise starting yesterday.

Trump or Biden does not really matter since Trump inherited the mess Biden made. The choice between them is like the choice between turds and feces.

Right - he is the guy on the back of the truck doing the hard work of picking up the garbage the Left is leaving all over America.

"I'm going to beat Joe Biden" said Joe Biden at one of his speeches. Something very interesting ahead.

1994 crime bill. Cant go to a convenience store without an Indian accent, Im not joking. Use of N word in 1985.

youaintblack. Poor kids are just as smart as white kids.

Super predators, born out of wedlock, no parents, no conscience, it doesnt matter- take them off the streets.

“I do not buy the concept, popular in the ’60s, which said, ‘We have suppressed the black man for 300 years and the white man is now far ahead in the race for everything our society offers. In order to even the score, we must now give the black man a head start, or even hold the white man back, to even the race. I don’t buy that,” Biden said to a weekly newspaper in Delaware in 1975. "I don’t feel responsible for the sins of my father and grandfather. I feel responsible for what the situation is today, for the sins of my own generation. And I’ll be damned if I feel responsible to pay for what happened 300 years ago.”

It will all come out.

for a supposed non racist, I sure can find a lot of racist direct quotes from Biden. and a lot of kind words for segregationists and speaking at funerals of ex KKK Grand Wizards.

Joe Biden is responsible for every ripped pair of trousers when someone squatted down ever.

Except for the ones Fat Trump is responsible for. Which is all of them.

Well you’ve managed to survive four years of a known racist in the White House. You’re just going to have to deal with four years of a different one I guess. You’ll be fine, cause unlike the current one, Biden is competent.

Neither Biden or Trump are very competent. Biden has clearly begun to lose a step or three. Trump is impulsive and just says whatever comes to mind - like having a beer with a alcoholic construction worker. Biden can’t talk in public for 30 minutes without saying something something ridiculous. Trump is just all over the place. Biden is a terrible candidate. It’s a repeat of 2016.

Well, I see that Biden has "clinched" the nomination. But I believe the Democrat National Convention is going to be a brokered convention. A lot of delegates aren't happy with Biden, especially with his "past women issues" and his "you ain't black" gaffe. Also, his age, perceived dementia and gaffes aren't plusses either.

And if he doesn't pick the RIGHT black woman VP (as preferred by the party committee leaders), he could lose the nomination and a different person nominated on the second ballot. It could happen.

The only way Jailin' Joe is ever going to redeem himself in my eyes is to choose Bernie Sanders as his VP 

Yeah....that probably would have been a logical choice.

But it's too bad Biden painted himself in a corner by committing to picking a woman for his VP choice. And now the Black communities and leaders are pressuring him to pick a BLACK woman VP. The only way Sanders can be VP is to undergo an emergency gender change and pigmentation change before August when Biden makes his choice.
