Confronting concerns that he may be too old, Joe Biden is privately floating the promise that he would only be a one-term president if elected and would not present himself for reelection. But that doesn’t seem to be working. Maybe it’s time for him to step up his game.

I think Biden deserves a little respect for that reality embrace: as someone who’s had a severe health scare he gets that he could die at any moment. I also am impressed as hell about Biden overcoming a severe stutter.
But we come back to the thing the Hillary Clinton (war criminal) crowd never grasped: politically, it is possible to carry two thoughts in your head at the same time: I can admit Biden’s won’t-quit attitude concerning his stutter AND STILL think he’s absolutely unfit for the job of president.
Pretty much all the New York Times readers are certain Secretary Clinton was the very best candidate for president the US has ever had. I have a problem with that, since I heard her promise, in the 3rd debate, regime change in Syria and Russia on Day 1. Syria, of course, would have been a repeat of Libya, with the US Air Force supporting the pro-democracy freedom fighters IS and al-Qaeda until they overthrew the brutal dictator and took full control of Syria, while Putin would have had no choice but to resign and let President Clinton appoint his replacement, a good Russian-American.
Since Putin was highly unlikely to do as President Clinton demanded (although every Clintonbot is certain he had no other choice) I was relatively certain she’d see us in WWIII, but I haven’t heard Biden say much of anything about anything, so I have no idea what he’d do if elected.

This drop-dead-after-oath strategy would require a judicious choice of VP running mate.
In this century already the feckless Dems have abused us with the likes of: Lieberman, Feet-in-Mouth himself and Tim Kaine. It would almost be worth a JB nomination it to see who could possibly “complement” that horrific lineup.
Perhaps a better overall strategy would be for ole’ Joe to schedule, on national TV, an operation to surgically remove the collection of feet he has inserted into a) his own facial orifice and 2) the collective nether orifice of the American polity?
