Since I'm usually wrong when it comes to political predictions, I'll
just crawl out here on this old limb with my handy saw.
No, I'm not going to speculate on whether or not Old Joe will run.
But I do have some wondering about what would be his motive for
running.
My first thought was that Joe had a Platform that was not being
addressed by the other candidates in the Democratic Party. But Joe
has been all over the map in his 30 years in Congress and his 8 years
as vice president. So if a track record is any indication, Old Joe
has no particular Platform.
Now if he is running because his handlers feel Hillary could not stand
up to Donald Trump, or whichever clown the Republicans trot out, then
Joe will sink the Democratic Boat, for sure. He would most likely
split Hillary's support, allowing that Socialist Democrat, Bernie
Sanders to reach the finish line. There is no way that Old Joe can
believe he would draw away from Bernie. Even at his wildest, most
Devil-may-care moments, Joe is far too cozy with the Empire to even
pretend to support the social issues being proposed by Bernie.
If he were a "Good Party Soldier", Joe Biden would throw his support
to the Party candidate who stands the greatest chance of winning in
November. At this time, that would be Hillary Clinton. But since
both Parties are in shambles, it looks as if we're in a Political Free
For All.
