across the board. Add to the the fact that it would be a direct snub to everyone already in the race, and it adds an issue that he must support and defend right out of the gate.

Biden's biggest appeal is a return to stability and experience; this scuttles that completely.

but decide against actually doing it. That way, he addresses perceived age and race concerns without committing.

I do not believe that he would run and not want the nomination; that just doesn't track.

I don't remember nearly as much when he floated Beto and Kamala as possible veeps. I don't think he'll do it as I don't see it helping in Iowa or NH but what's the harm if he does? He's got a year to make adjustments if it bombs with voters

She'd be betting all her money on Biden ... if he doesn't come through, nobody else will choose her as VP after this stunt.

And if she stays on the sidelines, any one of the nominees could choose her and to make a stronger ticket.

I think he'll last longer than BS ... well, BS will stay in to to the bitter end, even when it's clear he's no longer viable ... but I don't believe either of them will make it to the finish line.
