A Biden-Warren ticket… — 27 Comments

  1. If the Republican ticket could be Cruz ‘n Carly, the matchups for the debates would be

    Cruz v. Biden and
    Fiorina v. Warren

    Terrific!

    I think both Cruz and Carly have already shown that they aren’t about to be manipulated by blow-dry reporters, and I would expect they’d take charge in the debates.

  2. If Joe Biden runs, I’ll be plastering my social media pages with pictures of him fondling the women he has met as VP. The pictures are disturbing and can’t be spun.

  3. Sanders – 73
    Biden – 72
    Webb – 69
    Clinton – 67
    Warren – 66
    O’Malley – 52

    Biden and Warren look and act younger than Sanders and Clinton. Well, it depends on which pictures of Clinton that you see, but generally she looks old and tired. Warren looks a lot younger.

    For the Republicans…
    Pataki – 70
    Trump – 69
    Perry, Gilmore – 65
    Carson, Kaisch – 63
    Bush – 62
    Fiorina, Graham, Huckabee – 60
    Santorum – 57
    Christie, Paul – 52
    Walker – 47
    Cruz, Rubio, Jindal – 44

    The Republicans are much younger, as a group, but they appear to be as well as act younger than the Democrats.

    Remember that McCain was 70 when he was running in 2008 and the Democrats were complaining about his age and medical status. Haven’t heard a word about medical records for Clinton.

    Even if Biden only stays for one term, Warren would be 70 and if the left gets her in, she would be 78 by the end of a second term. Scary!

  4. Bring’em on.

    An old man who has twice lost plus a shrill, left-wing and inexperienced Harvard law professor. Will especially enjoy the Dem debates.

  5. Cornhead:

    Biden had virtually no supporters at all in his failed runs for president. Now, however, he has Obama’s blessing, as does Warren. He is the anointed one, I would imagine, and she definitely is.

  6. Neo, if you say it would be a formidable pairing I will take you at your word. But, I assume that you are making a judgement about the U.S. electorate, rather than the quality of the candidates.

    My prejudices often color my own judgement, but I must say that to me Biden falls somewhere between a buffoon and an Ass. Given the current polling maybe that is what appeals. Bill Clinton set a standard in several ways. I am sure that Warren is impressive in the salons of the Ivy League. At least Harvard College thought so and the voters of the People’s Republic of Massachusetts seem to agree. But, I do not believe that she could hold her own in a real political fight. Carly, for one, would eat her for lunch, as the saying goes.

    By the way, I inherited pronounced high cheek bones, along with a rather dark complexion through my paternal grandmother, who could have posed for a portrait of an old plains Indian woman. I wonder if I should throw my hat into the ring?

  7. Forbidding?? Really? A woman who lied about her background to get a fancy job at an ivy league school? Warren’s a joke. She talks a good game from the left’s perspective, but she is an easy target. Big banks and predatory lending? She made a lot of money buying up foreclosed homes and reselling them at the expense of ruined homeowners. Racism? We can go right back to her fake credentials as a ‘Native American.’ Doesn’t look good.

    Biden puts his foot in his mouth every day. Start pasting those photos of him grabbing at women…young, old, married. Repeat over and over his stumbling, politically incorrect comments. Doesn’t look good.

    What has he accomplished as V.P.? He’s been a side show character from the beginning. He is not on the ‘inside’ of the Obama Administration. I’m not afraid of this duo. Bring it.

  8. Oldflyer:

    Yes, I am ABSOLUTELY talking about the electorate when I say that. I thought that was clear (when I joked about “gravitas” and emphasized “woman”) but let me make it crystal clear right now.

  9. First of all, as I have noted before, bho wants to stick the knife into hrc’s spine. And biden is definitely someone he can influence-manipulate post-presidency. Warren is the icing on that cake. But the weak chink in the armor of a biden-warren ticket is joe the gaffe prone groper.

    The dems are in a fine pickle, bho wants to shovel dirt on the clinton casket but also wants to secure a ‘3rd term’. Unfortunately for bho biden-warren is a real gamble. Somehow he has to create a warren-o’malley ticket. With the largesse of soros he will find a way.

  10. I remember reports of Biden being selected for his experience and “knowledge” about other countries – an elder statesman to advise the younger Obama. The LIV bought the scam.

    But, I always thought that he was selected because he was such an old fool and to be an insurance policy against an attempt on Obama’s life.

  11. Neo, glad you made it crystal clear. As I said, I assumed that was the case. On the other hand, despite considerable evidence to the contrary, I personally cling to faint hope that the electorate may be paying attention this time around.

  12. Biden is well liked, has real authenticity, relates well to the average Joe, has spent decades in the government. He has been a loyal and useful VP for Obama. Obama called selecting Biden as his best political decision.

    So all told Joe Biden deserves the nomination.

    There is no higher priority then getting the Bushes and Clinton’s permanently out of our politics. So if it takes Biden, Pocahontas and Trump to do so, so be it.

  13. Biden “has Obama’s blessing, as does Warren. He is the anointed one, I would imagine, and she definitely is.” neo

    Yes, That is exactly my take as well.

    K-E @ 5:29
    All true and it doesn’t matter. The LIVs will never see those gaffs and even more importantly, they won’t believe it even should they see them in a Republican political add. Obama’s election (twice!) alone proves that contrary facts have zero impact and Clinton’s own supporters being unable to name one accomplishment and yet not giving a damn confirms it. Do you really doubt that even the semi-aware Alan Dershowitzs will fail to vote for a Biden-Warren ticket?

  14. A Biden-Warren ticket…

    …would be a formidable prospect

    Formidable? Puh-leeze. Joey Choo Choo and Princess Lieawatha. The creepy groping uncle no one wants at Thanksgiving dinner and a fake Indian. Formidable indeed, in lefties perverted and drug addled minds.

  15. First, Hillary won’t back out gracefully. Bill feels that his speech at the convention saved Obama. They will fight to the end and will pull a Samson option if necessary.
    The media won’t talk about Lizzie’s fake Indian identity or Bidens serial plagiarism if they run against a republican,but in primaries against Hillary B&H and FOBs will make sure that the most LIVs of LIVs will know all about Liawatha and Biden.

    When you have a wide load, it’s hard to back out gracefully.

  17. Harold, your comments are just depressing.

    I wonder if you felt the same way about Romney vs Obama in ’12?

  18. Avi,

    Correct, Hillary won’t back out gracefully. She’s being forced out by circumstance. The incremental revelations (ordered by Obama) of her sending classified information in ever more private emails is gradually destroying her viability as a candidate.

    The polls show that it is working. Obama is gradually facing her with declining political support AND with the prospect of a formal investigation which if instigated, will result in prosecution and imprisonment. She’ll drop out before it gets that far.

    Three events have now revealed Obama’s strategy. First was approving a letter signed by 300 of Obama’s former staffers urging Warren to run. Now, Biden seeking Warrens agreement to be his running mate. Obama’s formal announcement that he supports a Biden candidacy is the confirmation.

  19. Geoffrey Britain:

    Back in March I wrote that Obama was grooming Warren as his successor, rather than Hillary. I agree that that is even more clear today.

  20. Look, Warren did fine in Massachussetts because it is a blue state and it doesn’t really have any Native Americans around.

    Try the “I have high cheekbones, so therefore I am Cherokee” shtick in Arizona, New Mexico or Oklahoma, and I have a feeling the real Native Americans won’t be quite so forgiving.

    Also, with Warren running against Bernie’s crowd, her talk of ‘big banks’ can easily be refuted with her own income stream.

    Biden’s just a dolt. He won’t do well as the main dude on the stage. These two will not get out the vote like Obama did. No way in hell.

  21. K-E:

    Biden does just as well as Clinton in polls about Biden vs. the Republicans and Clinton vs. the Republicans. That doesn’t mean he’d win, of course, but it means he is quite competitive.

    It is my impression most Democrats and many Independents would never vote for a Republican, so it almost doesn’t matter who the Democratic nominee is. And Warren’s femaleness would be more important to them than her leftism. The first female VP! That’s why Fiorina might be important (I also happen to like Fiorina no matter what her gender).

  22. Daniel: Larry Correia is a very smart guy, and I hope his predictions are correct because Cruz is even smarter, and what we need right now is someone who actually knows something. Right now we have the equivalent of the short-bus graduate in terms of his economic and foreign policy knowledge (plus the whole knave thing). I would love to see Cruz (or Fiorina or Jindal or Carson) and any of several good choices for Veep in 2016.

    Campaign motto: “Let’s try someone from the real world for a change.”

  23. GB I’m with you. I can’t imagine that Biden’s negatives would have any resonance with the Democrat base.

    Even now, neither HRC’s nor Biden’s alcoholism is brought up in the press.

    Though there is endless video footage of both — at many events — getting totally plastered.

    I’ve heard that Biden is smashed after 8 PM virtually every day of the week. It wouldn’t surprise me.

    Alcoholism is FAR more common among top politicians than the general public. For starters — they normally NEVER have to pick up a bar tab — and they are constantly feted with super high quality booze.

    Yet this crippling infirmity is no baggage for either Democrat.
