V. P. Joseph Biden: Plan B for the 2016 Democratic Presidential Race!

Hillary Clinton cannot and will not be the Democratic Candidate. She is on a continuing road of self-embarrassment and self-destruction. She can’t help herself.  So, I have decided to comment on the Democratic Party Candidates as a biased impartial observer. In that one statement I reflect the inherent contradiction of a Hillary Clinton—talks one way/walks another way.We don’t need to belabor the point of Hillary’s genetic disposition for prevarication leading to her eventual self-implosion---on the smallest unpredictable matter.

Now back to what I would do if I were consultant to the present Democratic Party [clearly I am not]. There is no question in my mind that Joseph Biden is a “seasoned politician”. Even his verbal gaffes are part and parcel of his persona, eliciting a cringe tainted with a hint of sympathy. It is that last factor that I want to talk about—sympathy.I know as much about Biden as most of you maybe even less.

But I do know one thing.

That man and his family has suffered personally and collectively more than any other politician in either the Republican and Democratic Party, combined.Without going into the perverse details of Biden’s losses, cumulatively the full panoply of those losses from the death of his first wife, children and cancer---Biden would in any Biblical Sense qualify for Job, God’s trusted servant of endurance.

Have I become sentimental or have I suddenly become religious in a country that is evolving into atheism and agnosticism as the new shibboleth of faith?? No, I have not become either religious or sentimental. What I see is a large political lacunae in the Presidential Race of 2016. If Trump, by chance, self-destructs or even gets run over by one of his fleet of golf-carts and subsequently sustains serious injuries….what’s the backup?

In other words what happens to the electoral field if untoward accidents occur throughout? As for the Republicans, they will produce their medical team of Drs. Ben Carson, Rand Paul, and even recruit some ignoble candidate of lesser merit. As for Bernie Sanders as the Plan B for the Democrats? No Socialist, avowed or even defrocked, can really sustain a credible narrative of trade, economics and a secure foreign policy.

Elizabeth Warren, the ersatz American Indian who shimmied her way into the pretentious Harvard faculty, she will flame out as Hillary-like opportunist and indigenous fakir. That leaves me to suggest Vice President Joseph Biden, loyal American and exceedingly tenured politician, who has held more political offices than I can remember.

What is the difference now?
VP Joseph Biden has had to suffer through death of his oldest son who died from a brain tumor. That is a life-changing experience when, if one is to believe the narrative that Beau requested one last wish of his father—‘to run for the Presidency and co-opt  the Clinton family’—then his presence in the race becomes more compelling. Even mandatory!

President Nixon, a man of strong convictions always remonstrated to those around him—‘judge a man when he is down not when he is on top.’ Judging Biden at his nadir of his personal and professional career, I admire the fact that he is reserved, focused and reliable to the present POTUS. He neither cowers from attention or political assignments that only a few aides could possibly discuss in public.

Therefore, as a participant-observer of the 2016 Presidential Race, let me reiterate my support for Biden’s entrance into the Democratic Race as initially Plan B. Let us see how Plan B eventually converts to Plan A as the Hillary, Banshee of lies and deceits, whirls herself around into another Charlotte’s Web of self-destruction—aided by none others than her sycophant advisors and so-called, ‘Family Friends’.

Go Joe!

Let America see which is the more revealing truth about a Democratic candidate –inevitable choices-- or an accidental fate which inspires one to reach beyond reality?

Let the best man/woman win!
At least Democrats, please have a Plan B!

Let me quote the Bard from the play, Hamlet:
“A politician …. One that would circumvent God.”
