I’m trying to prepare myself, mentally, emotionally, and chemically, for such a matchup. On one hand, our republic has survived worse (probably). On the other hand, even Rome fell.
Oh, what the heck. If America’s going down the toilet anyway, why not enjoy the flume ride? Wheeeee!!
Carol E. Lee and Reid J. Epstein, WSJ:
Vice President Joe Biden, who has long been considering a presidential bid, is increasingly leaning toward entering the race if it is still possible he can knit together a competitive campaign at this late date, people familiar with the matter said…
A surprise weekend trip to Washington to meet with Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D., Mass.), a darling of the party’s liberal wing, represented a pivot from potential to likely candidate, one Biden supporter said.
I wouldn’t read too much into Biden meeting with Warren. Maybe he just wants to get comped at Mohegan Sun?
But yeah, as of August 24, 2015, a Trump/Biden matchup is actually a thing that could happen. It’s not outside the realm of possibility. If you want to elect a blithering, self-contradictory, highly quotable loudmouth with an unusual method of denying his male pattern baldness, it’s a win/win.
And it’s another clear sign that Hillary Clinton is in big, big trouble. I don’t want to say she’s starting to give up, but now she’s even answering questions about the FBI’s criminal investigation while wearing an orange jumpsuit. Hey, dress like the person you want to be…
Can you imagine a debate between Joe Biden and Donald Trump? Does Ringling Bros. even make a tent that big?
P.S.
The market is reacting furiously to the possibility that Joe Biden’s entry cld complicate Donald Trump’s clear path to the White House.
