Biden hits Sanders' home turf as he tests 2020 waters

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

BURLINGTON, Vt. — Joe Biden waltzed into potential future opponent Sen. Bernie Sanders’ backyard Sunday sounding an awful lot like a 2020 candidate.

Six days after saying he's “the most qualified person in the country to be president,” Biden took the stage here and railed against “naked nationalism,” “phony populism,” and a GOP that is “not your father’s Republican Party.”

“If you have a problem, what’s the problem? The other. The other. That immigrant, that black guy, that woman,” he said of populism, without mentioning President Donald Trump by name. “That’s the problem, instead of facing up to the problem called greed.”

But Biden — speaking at an event to promote his book, “Promise Me, Dad: A Year of Hope, Hardship, and Purpose" — equivocated on the question of whether he’d challenge Trump. Biden has said previously he would decide on a run in the next few months.

10. Same here.

Bernie's only hope is dominating Iowa and New Hampshire. If Biden runs, that won't happen. Even if Biden doesn't run, that probably won't happen, given how many candidates there will be.

But then Biden will run into trouble as the primary progresses. People will be reminded why his previous attempts have fallen way short.

15. While I still love Bernie,

Uncle Joe is my first choice hands down. Wish he'd run in '16. Woulda been my first choice then too.

19. Both of these old men need to get off the stage.

Haven't enough members of their generation been president already? They've almost consistently controlled the White House since 1993. Jesus fucking Christ.

21. Biden, no thanks

I'm not forgetting or forgiving the whole Anita Hill, ClarenceThomas thing.
