Biden Unlikely to Run. Doesn’t Appear to Have “Emotional Energy”:

[Bubzer]

Vice President Joe Biden said on Thursday that the deciding factor of his rumored 2016 presidential run will be whether he and his family “have the emotional energy to run,” reported USA Today. If he decides not to run, it’s still unclear who he would support out of Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders.

“I’ll be straightforward with you,” said Biden to a packed Atlanta synagogue. “The most relevant factor in my decision is whether I and my family have the emotional energy to run. Some people might think that is not appropriate. But unless I can go to my party and the American people and say that I am able to devote my whole heart and my whole soul to this endeavor, it would not be appropriate.”

1. Yesterday

he looked and sounded like a candidate. If he isn't planning to run, what was that all about?

2. Could be as simple as keeping appearances up while trying to make a decision.

Could also be he's leaning toward running. His wife is leary, and he's said his family is what is his determining factor.
There's a lot of things it could be. But this is reflective of what we know so far.

11. Jolt cola?? Seriously, he looked engaged and very energetic in the parade video

He looked to be in a completely different mood that last week.

I suppose that's part of moving past grieving. There will be good days and less good days

Over time, hopefully more and more good days.

Glad to see him so. He'll be able to take getting beat.

3. Whats it about?

to let the Sanders supporter know that even without a HRC....Bernie doesn't just cakewalk to the nomination...Democrats are loyal.

"his wife is leary"

Where do you folks get this shit?

4. This is a post about Joe Biden, not hillary or Bernie.

I'm guessing you don't do current events. Or maybe you just missed the information? Either way, here it is:

Vice President Joe Biden's reluctance to enter the presidential race centers on his family. His wife, Jill, has never relished political life and is said to share his misgivings about whether the Bidens are emotionally equipped for another campaign.

5. Is this the Joe Biden Group?

I take it you don't know the DU rules then?

6. Uh misleading....

here is the title

"Joe Biden's wife, Jill, also might have misgivings about presidential run"

that means it is someone's conjecture....not something Biden or his wife have said...

7. The title comes from the article. If you object to it, you could contact the author.

8. I know the title comes from the author

You misled not he.....

[Bubzer]

9. So I'm guessing you didn't read the article. Everything I posted in the op comes from there.

Why are you so insistent on trying to stir up trouble? Sorry, I just don't have anymore time for your games.

10. Yes I did....

tha'ts why I know its baloney!

It says no such thing...

12. Let Joe make up his mind on his own time table.

Do you like baseball? I will use a baseball analogy. I feel very comfortable with him in the bullpen.

13. I do too....

But I vote for him before that Independent Sanders...

14. HRC and JB are my 1a and 1b choices.

I am an Obama-Clinton-Biden Democrat.

[VanillaRhapsody]

15. Me too!

Exactly

16. I am the best supporter PBO can have because he won me over.

I was disappointed when he defeated HRC for the nomination but I have grown to like him, respect him and admire him. He ended the stupid war in Iraq, the Great Recession and put on us on a course to universal health coverage. He also appointed two justices who gave us marriage equality.

18. Me too

Exactly! No wonder I like you so much! GMTA

20. I was sooooooooooo disappointed but by Sep. I was on board...

My friend and I even drove elderly African Americans who lived in the predominately African Americam Midway section of Sanford, Florida to the polls...

President Obama has been a tranformational and consequential president.

17. Why do you treat 'independent' as a pejorative?

Are you that obsessed with party? Funny, I always considered that kind of blind allegiance an unfortunate shortcoming of the right.

[VanillaRhapsody]

19. Because its not a Democrat

Then why didnt Bernie become one? Perhaps he is just too obsessed about being an Independent!
