Biden's son Beau died recently. Of brain cancer, no less.

I knew Beau had died but it was more the "gay" comment because I thought Beau had a wife and kids.

There's only two months left iirc to declare before the first states start shutting out candidates so he doesn't have much time left. Two months isn't exactly enough time to 'begin consideration'

He's not running

New York Times seems to like writing pieces about how Hillary is totally hosed because [reason]. I'm surprised they waited this long to claim Biden is totally running.

If he was going to run he would have actually done some sort of preparation of a level beyond people having lunch and calling the V.P. whose role in the administration is coordinating with democratic legislators and whose son just died.

Well my hope is he will in fact get the Republican nomination and that he will proceed to lose all fifty states. Because I believe that the craziness that he in fact represents, that has taken hold of the Republican Party over the last ten years, since the rise of the Tea Party, in not a winnable, a winning coalition. And it has to be completely destroyed, salt plowed into the earth. Then maybe phoenix-like, a new sane pragmatic Republican Party can arise that can in fact win the White House.

The key paragraph:

quote:

On Saturday, the New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd reported that Mr. Biden had been holding meetings at his residence, “talking to friends, family and donors about jumping in” to challenge Mrs. Clinton in Iowa and New Hampshire, the first two nominating states.

It's important to know that Dowd haaaaaaaaates the Clintons, and not surprising to see that she was the one who started this boomlet. The Post has a less bullish take on Bidenmentum.

So Bush gave an interview in Spanish for Telemundo and apparently actually had the balls to clearly state his border/illegal immigrant stance for the Latino audience, which I agree with, sans fine. English proficiency and no benefits for illegal entrants to gain legal status is good enough for me.

Maybe I should pump the brakes on diving down into the Trump rabbit hole. Or maybe I should credit him with influencing others to be blunt and pull no punches.

"'To arrive here legally has to be easier than to arrive here illegally,' said Bush. Like other Republicans, he wants to see U.S. borders secured BEFORE allowing the country's estimated 11 million immigrants in the U.S. illegally to obtain legal status. 'I know we can do it,' he said.

Bush said immigrants in the country illegally would have to pay 'a small fine' and learn English to remain in the country as legal residents, and would not be eligible for government benefits."

As for his favorite music, Bush said he loved country, Christian, rap and Latin. He said he became a recent fan of Pitbull, the wildly popular bilingual rapper from Miami ("I listen to his music") and has been a longtime fan of Michael W. Smith, a Grammy-winning Christian music star ("Got a great voice").

I will never forgive GOP primary poll participants if they let that Lehman Brothers rear end-hole into the adult table debate and deny me the spectacle of Rick Perry stumbling and bumbling his way into a fight with Trump.

Someone needs to start pumping the airways TODAY with simple ads about the 2008 crash, Lehman Brothers, and "Managing Director John Kasich."

The crash was so toxic it gave us a completely unqualified clown for a President. Take this Wall-Street slime down before he gets enough traction to start getting big donations from his buddies.

  • Literally dropping the word "literally" into literally every other sentence.
  • Sharing your ice cream with children.
  • Always let the ladies know they're pretty.
  • Be America's cool grandpa.
  • Talking about family almost as much as Vin Diesel in a Fast and Furious movie.
  • Hating drugs too much.
  • Always drop a little something nice for the media to play over and over in any debate

"I mean think about it, Rudy Giuliani, there's only three things he mentions in a sentence — a noun and a verb and 9/11 and I mean, there's nothing else."
