A unity ticket? With Mr. 49%? On a bid specifically designed to splinter the Democratic and Republican bases? This person is trolling us.
This ticket would ensure Trump is reelected.
Trump has a strong base within the Republican party. How many Republicans are going to vote for Obama's VP at the top of the ticket? They would primarily draw independents and centrist Democrats.
One of the reasons Democrats did so well in the midterms is because of high support among independents. This ticket would destroy that advantage.
And instead of Democrats having a unified front against Trump, this would cause the in-fighting to end all in-fighting.
Biden-led bipartisan ticket would pledge to serve a Cincinnatus-like single term and address all of the U.S.’s ticking time bombs like Social Security, Medicare, health care reform, climate change, money in politics, immigration, gerrymandering and infrastructure investment in four years.
OH IS THAT ALL? Just swoop in, with a split Congress and split executive branch, and solve allll of America's problems in 4 years? And then NOT RUN AGAIN?
Suuure.
Other Democratic candidates with more ambition than ability to win a general election against Donald Trump will inexorably and gleefully erode his standing by rehashing the Anita Hill hearings, pushing him to the left on domestic policy and endlessly reminding voters of his support for the Gulf War.
Oh yes, let's wait until the general election and let both Trump AND the Democrats slam Biden on these things AND remind voters of Romney's bs.
Progressives would attack them for being too centrist. Establishment Dems would attack them for threatening party unity. Moderate Republicans would attack Biden for everything Obama ever did and want Romney at the top of the ticket. And Trump's base will attack them for some fanciful conspiracy theory about eating human babies or something.
