Has to be. He wouldn't go up against her under normal circumstances.
He ain't doing this because he *wants* to. He has/is being pressured into it.
Regardless, even though he is running under duress I believe he will do the best job he can.
If Trump doesn't get the Republican nod I'm voting for Joe.

Nah, I don't think so. If Biden jumps in, all the heads of the Democratic Political machine will dump Clinton like a hot potato. Republicans want Bernie Sanders in because they know the nation will never elect a socialist with nothing but unicorns for policy. They'd rather vote for a conservative, evangelical, corporate, fascist, if it's a race with Bernie.

Where is it "official" that he's in? Plugs will be a great dimo candidate if he does enter.

There is nothing official. As you might have noticed for the last few months, we have been hearing two things (1) Trump was going to drop out (2) Biden was going announce his bid for POTUS. Hope no one was holding their breath on either of these.

Looks like he did seek some help: http://nationalreport.net/vice-presi...ources-reveal/ The article is interesting.

If the "visit" didn't take place, after looking at the images, video and reading the article, he either needs some kind of treatment or to retire quietly from politics.

Party pressure.
He was their back up plan should Hillary be brought up on charges.
I would imagine that very soon they will announce charges being brought against her.
I'm glad. I could handle Joe in the Whitehouse. I like the guy.
Biden is privy to whispers about the DOJ investigation and Obama and the Clintons DO NOT get along. They are not working any sort of back-up plan IMO as they are political rivals.

I think Biden is seeing an opening and is taking it.

This is not one big kumbaya gathering, the primaries are dirty business.

You do know that the "National Report" is a fake news site, right?

I agree that if you're sick of that crap, you should definitely vote Republican.

If it is true, who can blame him? He just lost his son. He lost his childhood sweetheart and wife plus a 3 month old in a car accident in 1973. Of his original family of 5, he has 1 left. So what if he has a drink or two? If he does, he holds it well.

How many more people are not even looking for work and thus are not included in the unemployment rate?

Barry doubled the national debt and all we got was a stupid T-shirt.
