Biden on potential 2020 presidential bid: "Fate has a strange way of intervening

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- It’s more than a month before Donald Trump even enters the White House, but Joe Biden says he’s running for president in 2020.

“I’m going to run in 2020. For president. So, uh, what the hell, man,” the departing vice president told reporters Monday with only a slight smile on his face. Given a chance to walk it back, he did - but only a bit.

Asked if he was joking, he said: “I’m not committing not to run. I’m not committing to anything. I learned a long time ago, fate has a strange way of intervening.”

Someone like Joe Biden is the epitome of the answer to Trump, if not Biden himself, then someone like him who has both the knowledge and grass roots charisma that Biden has. Sherrod Brown comes to mind but I don't think he wants to run. Shit, I'd back Al Franken at this point. Why not?
