Obama Just Humiliated His Own VP, Says Thanks But No Thanks to Biden 2020
Joe Biden does not appear to have the support of Barack Obama when it comes to running for president.
Obama wants to see “new blood” in 2020.
From The Hill:
Former President Obama’s talk about how politics need “new blood” is being seen as a blow to Joe Biden, the former vice president that Obama did not back to succeed him in 2016.
Sources close to both men describe Obama and Biden as friends who share an admiration and respect for one another.
But they also acknowledge recent remarks like the one Obama made this week in Hawaii represent a sort of threat to Biden, who has told allies in recent days that he’s likely to enter the 2020 presidential race.
According to Biden, he’s the “most qualified person in the country to be president.”
From Fox News:
Former Vice President Joe Biden said he would decide if he’s running for president in 2020 soon. But in the meantime, he’s confident he is up for the job.
Biden: “I think I’m the most qualified person in the country to be president. The issues that we face as a country today are the issues that I’ve worked on my whole life.“
“No one doubts what I say; the problem is I sometimes say all that I mean. The question is what kind of nation are we becoming?“
While campaigning for Democrat Senator Heidi Heitkamp in North Dakota, Biden suggested her opponent, Rep. Kevin Cramer, be beat up.
From Daily Wire:
Former Democratic Vice President Joe Biden suggested at a rally for Sen. Heidi Heitkamp (D-ND) that the trade union president beat up Rep. Kevin Cramer (R-ND), saying, “show him a threshold of pain.”
Biden noted: “As my brother, who loves to use lines from movies, a John Wayne movie, there’s a good line in a movie, a John Wayne movie where the Indian chief turns to John Wayne and says ‘this is a lying dog-faced pony soldier.'”
He continued: “Well, let me tell ya, these guys are [inaudible], they just stand up, flat out, stand up and say things that are absolutely mind-boggling,” Biden continued. “I love this one on trade, this I love, and by the way, I told you I come from an agricultural state, I don’t know how you can possibly get elected in an agricultural state with the things he is saying.”

WATCH:
Cher knows who she wants on the Democrat presidential ticket come 2020.
Honestly, try not to laugh…
Cher: “I know Joe Biden and I know him to be a really great man.“
“I would love to see [Biden] with someone young,” she said.
Cher wouldn’t mind a Biden-Swalwell card – that’s Rep. Eric Swalwell of California, the progressive liberal who literally wants to take guns away.
