    "The answer is I would, but I can't think of one now," Biden replied. "Let me explain that. You know there's some really decent Republicans that are out there still, but here's the problem right now ... they've got to step up."

    ...No modern presidential campaign has featured a bipartisan ticket. The late Sen. John McCain, the Republican presidential nominee in 2008, considered former Sen. Joe Lieberman, a Democrat-turned-independent, as a possible running mate, before settling on Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin as his vice presidential pick.

    https://www.cnn.com/2019/12/30/politics/joe-biden-running-mate-republican/index.html

    So Joe may run on a bipartisan ticket with a Republican.

    This may be a tactic to try and increase his approval with centrists/independents.

    But how will these words be received by those on the far left like Bernie Sanders supporters?

    No way Creepy Joe gets through the primaries trying to push for a Republican VP. What sort of idiot Republican would actually agree? That would be political suicide, especially teaming up with a third string tosser like Biden. Ultra-progs determine who gets through the primaries, and that commie Sanders will win before Biden if this is accurate. Either way, whoever they put up, they still won't stand a chance against Trump. That is the biggest field of clowns I've ever seen, not ONE has a chance in hell of winning...

    One theory I came across was that Biden would run with Mitt Romney.

    Its true-being covered by multiple outlets...

    I used to like Romney, but if he fell so low as to play second fiddle to a tosser like Biden, I would never respect him again. I can't see any self-respecting Republican agreeing to run with Biden, regardless of Creepy Joe's fantasies on the issue...

    Given how bad he has screwed himself, and the democrats a whole have screwed themselves for '20, He is trying to appear to move center.

    This shows how few differences there between the 2 parties. Both support perpetual war, deficit spending, censorship and government lies.

    He's a traitor to his cause. Can this country move any more to the right??? Many of us want to move toward the left.

    That is why it was so easy for Trump to beat the RP's 17 "best and brightest" and the DP's chosen one.

    He just can't think of one right now.... LOL...

    I wonder if it would be considered a Quid Pro Quo if Joe offered Mitt the VP job, but only if Mitt can get 20 votes in the Senate trial??

    Hmmmm...

    Good plan!
    The DP should pay you 7 figure for that idea, but they are obviously not that smart. ;-)

    Biden would agree to wear an elephant hat and indict The Clintons to avoid ending up with his kid in front of a grand jury.

    What a crock.

    I don't believe Quid Pro Quo Joe for an instant, and there's no way he'd win the antiDemocratic nomination with a RINO on his ticket.

    *eyeroll* at his little backhanded implication that there are no decent Republicans out in the forefront of the party right now :roll: I guess when he says "decent Republicans" he means two-faced RINOS like McCain?

    Why is this not surprising coming from two-faced RINO McCain. I never did trust McCain. I voted Obama that election. Looking back, both of them sucked, but even McCain would have been an improvement over Obama.

    Interesting tactic. He (and/or the DNC) might be getting pretty desperate about now....

    Biden's latest comment just shows how stupid he is. Maybe he will croak soon.

    What a mean and nasty thing to say.

    I abhor Donald Trump, always have, but I don't wish harm or pain or death on him.

    Sheesh.

    So what Biden is telling us is that none of the democrat candidates he's competing against are good enough to be VP. There you go, that means they're certainly not good enough to be president. Thanks Joe.
