Opinion: Joe Biden gets ready to take the plunge

Former vice president Joe Biden last week at a rally in Dorchester, Mass. By Jennifer Rubin Jennifer Rubin Opinion writer covering politics and policy, foreign and domestic Email Bio Follow Opinion writer April 23 at 9:00 AM This post has been updated.

Unlike virtually every candidate in the race who either has questions about his readiness/experience or ideological extremism , Biden is as ready and experienced as one can be having served for decades in the Senate and for two terms as President Barack Obama’s vice president. He’s center-left ideologically, and is someone seen as a friend to organized labor and the African American community — but never to be confused with self-described socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders .

Biden’s challenge is to avoid becoming the candidate of the past or the candidate of the Obama status quo. It’s going to be tempting to defend every action from that administration, but Democrats and the country at large look at problems that didn’t begin with Trump and wonder whether a septuagenarian who spent decades inside the Beltway is really the guy to take on racial injustice, glaring income inequality, forever wars and the influence of money in politics.

When we old white men won't step aside then we should be booted out. We need new faces and new ideas for the new challenges.

Ugh! I’m old enough to remember last time. In fact, I used him for years in my classes as an example of the perils of plagiarism! I like the guy but save yourself Joe!

This four month long announcement is boring.

Quit the tease, Joe. Either do it or don't.

Joe Biden belongs in the old folks home with Bernie Sanders !

He’s too old and again will lose.

Really,its a 😴

Joe there may be a strange woman in your future ~

Lemme smell yo dik - joe biden

Here's a man who lied about his military record can't keep his hands off of women.

He betrayed the Me Too movement

GO JOE! GO JOE!

The relic should stay in his house.

glubglub good luck wid dat! ☘️

naked in his pool with female secret service present. CreepyUncleJoe

And then there are 20. How quickly will it become 15 then 10 then 5, 4, 3,.....

What's he going to do? Plunge his creepy old man donger into some freaked out woman? This is okay with you WaPo?

Worse move he can make..

When Bidden takes this “plunge” is he going to keep his clothes on this time. His female secret service agents would be great full.

No, please.

*from the gallows.. After the Ukraine business..

Yay!!!

Watch ladies hair sniffer will be out & about.

Don’t do it , you don’t need this .

Biden is just a distraction. Many more qualified people are running. Warren & Harris to name 2. Both willing to talk about their ideas & how to implement them. An idea w/o a plan is useless.

So far all the demo candidates suck. Isn’t there anyone out there that doesn’t suck?

Yeah, middle of the road, no change do nothing. Sits at the helm and nothing for the NOT RICH improves. Not voting for this guy!

Sniffer

He should take a leap!

We'll need another special counsel to investigate Uncle Joe's ties to Red China and the Ukraine. He and sonny boy Hunter should be held accountable.

Joe should save his money, stay retired and enjoy his life. He's going to be drug through the pedo mud, slammed in every way possible and for what? Just to end up losing anyway in 2020. Why put his family through that.

Old career politician with nothing new to add. Hard pass.

can he survive Ukraine investigation ?

Biden JoeBiden how is he going to look so glorious amidst such devastation abroad as well as home same gun violence, opioid, social fractures ..

get rid of uncle joe, america can certainly do better than this hands on guy.

If you look at the polling he's been plunging already amiright

Joey is hopping innn..

America needs a man who can take a hard decision to rip of the genitals and craniums of terrorists the world over. Not some piss pot who gives off a lot of wind.

Don’t do it Joe!

Too old!

With that being said I take it he's not getting indicted so he can run like Hillary did

The guy likes to swim in the nude in front of female Secret Service agents. 'Take the plunge' is a bad headline if you're supporting him.

A gift to the right.

Just don't, Joe

hopes it’s headfirst into a shallow pool

We aim to make the violence perpetrated by leftist mobs on American cities; from Newark, New Jersey to Portland, Oregon, a shameful fluke in history. We aim to mitigate the damage partisan outlets like the Huffington Post, Salon, or Buzzfeed have had on our society.......

... and on the fabric of American cultural life. We will no longer tolerate the leftist media’s incitement to mob violence. We will no longer tolerate a radical Marxist fringe, fanning the flames of chaos and violent unrest every time an election, or court case, is lost.

Good ole perverted Uncle Joe also loves to plunge naked into his pool in front of his female Secret Service agents..!!

Please don’t! We don’t need the distractions; just pick out of the many & support them to election

How many years did he get?

He’s BEEN “getting ready”. Please report once he has. Sheesh!🙄

Dear Joe, you can help dems in 2020, but not like this.

Just. Stop.

What's taken him so long? His polls are dropping & I don't see the excitement for him. His hesitation seemed to say he wouldn't do it.

Oh hell no

The CreepyCrazyHandsGuy!

No PAC money. No corporate donations. There is only 1 candidate that has a proven record of fighting for the people: Bernie.

Nobody, who matters, cares.

Can hardly wait for the Democratic circus to begin !

...are we sure? maybe he wants to wait a little longer.

Lol my little touchy guy. Lol 😂

He's already taken on the plunging necklines.

kind of loses the excitement when it's been 'coming' for 3 months...

joe has been biding his time to die on Anity Hill the kiss on the head of death was a warning shot for the lib circle her firing squad

into someone's hair

Plunge his hand down the back of some unsuspecting lady’s skirt.

It’s about time!

Hopefully into the Potomac, to wake up and realize he shouldn't!

He'll never catch Bernie, who'll never catch Trump.

Bad move.

By meeting with a telecom lobbyist.

Tell us a few more times.

And Trump is ready for jail

Why did he hesitate. ? Death nail. Why. ?
