Joe Biden is 112 years old and can barely speak a coherent sentence. So it matters greatly whom he picks to be his running mate. The chances that his veep selection might end up becoming president during his term can’t be discounted.
Democrats have spent the Trump years talking about the virtues of the 25th Amendment. It lays out a process inside the executive branch that would temporarily and, if necessary, permanently replace a living president deemed by his Cabinet to be too infirm to serve as the most powerful man in the world.

Joe Biden has dementia, he can't do the job. The VP won't have to steal anything and that is the plan.

I won't be surprised if, at the end of the process, we find Felonia vonPantsuit hopping into her Scooby van and make tracks for Milwaukee to make her acceptance speech.
Afterwards they can make a grand tour of the US to celebrate their coronation, making the cannon at Ft. Marcy Park their first (and only) joint campaign rally. Afterwards, Joey will be relegated to the basement (or placed into a refrigerator drawer at the local ME's office) and Felonia will get strapped to her hand truck at each appearance to make loading her fat ass back into the van less cumbersome (like it was at the 9/11 memorial).
We have entered the Twilight Zone.

Being Podhoretz has tds and is in one of the stages of dementia, any musings on the passing scene from has quarters is irrelevant.

He cannot be serious pushing Me-Chelle. Joe' s presidency would be over before the first inaugural ball kicks off on the evening of Jan. 20th.

John, John, John, when did the Mooch become a 'private' person?. Are we talking about the 'look at me' White House ' gardener? Democrats may love the 'finally proud of America', fashion icon with the toned arms, but they're the only ones. I think Podhoretz is the one enamored with the Mooch. He's too effusive in his descriptions of her.

He won’t know if it’s been stolen. “Hey, has anybody seen my ... you know ... we’ve got to ... it wasn’t that long ago ... you know ... the thing ... that place from where I .... my presidency?

I , for one, think Michelle Obama has nice legs- especially the front ones.
(Sorry, have to dredge that one up every year, don't I?)

It does not matter who “Biden” chooses! He will be lead to the VP choice by his handlers on the Left. if Elected he will be no more than a figure head. He and his VP will be coached and monitored on everything that is said and done.

I'm with #2; Hillary. She's already shown she can be bLACK when she needs to be, and poor old Joe won't know what hit him: it will be merciful and painless.

Remember these articles are being written mostly by New York City and inside the DC beltway centric scribblers who live in a very different world and espouse a very different point of view than most ordinary Americans across the country.
The more it looks to Americans outside those two cities that the leftist and liberal Democrats are using a bait and switch political scam on the American people to get someone into the Presidency who could not get elected in her own rite, by fraudulently putting old Joseph Biden temporarily up front as a temporary place holder by taking advantage of his past name recognition, while hiding his do nothing long and corrupt DC political career, and current clearly age related mental and physical condition, the less viable the Democrat ticket will become across America.
So when such insider Democrat intentions and plan become plain to see to ordinary Americans, that if Biden and whoever are elected, and that plan is to after a period of time wheel Biden out of the White House and into some five star rest home, and install whoever the Democrat insiders select as Biden’s Vice-President into the White House as President, that plan is bound to be exposed by President Trump and his campaign in a very major way, and thus will fail, and loose the Democrats a huge number of votes, especially with independent voters whose votes are critical in general elections.

Hiding Biden needs a nice quiet room in a nursing home.... perhaps governor cuomo of New York can find him a spot....that should make the vice....hitlery president.... just like she planned....without the job of campaigning.... when she was First Lady she demanded the FBI raw files on all government workers.... and Epstein got many tapes of unusual activity for blackmail....wait and see!!

"The chances that his veep selection might end up becoming president during his term can’t be discounted."
Are you kidding? That's the PLAN. Biden will, regrettably 25th Amendment, section 4'd ASAP. Or he will trip, hit his head, and go into a coma. Too bad, so sad.
Given that, Michelle? Really. Her only experience is as a bad fashionista. She isn't proud of America. Knowing that Joe is NOT going the distance, no experience Michelle is the backup? If your ONLY concern is the Black vote, yeah, Michelle might pull in a few. But many Blacks can now compare a BO and a Trump presidency and BO doesn't look too good. Beyond that, it's not going to wash with Hispanics. Further, as Durham gets his report out, BO and his merry men are going to look like pigs in a wallow. Since Michelle's ONLY value is her marriage to BO, standing next to a mud covered BO will not win her votes.
Podhoretz is a dolt.

I can hear Joey speaking to Jill, and asking, "Jill, tell me about the rabbits".

Sorry, I'm not gettin' it. Podhoretz and everyone else is now talking about Biden as if he will actually be the dem candidate coming out of the dem convention. I can't imagine it, unless the dems have resigned themselves to losing. I know Biden is polling well in the skewed polls, but Biden won't even be able to give a coherent acceptance speech at the convention. If he tries, his wife will be standing just behind him to rescue him if he falls down, physically or mentally. The electorate will see how weak and demented he is. I still think that somehow, the dems will get together and try and push Cuomo or someone else up there as a placeholder, and persuade Sleepy Joe to withdraw.

The Democrats aren't even trying to win 2020 on merit. Its all pandering and voter fraud for them. My money is on Kamela Harris or Susan Rice. Whichever one fits best in the back pockets of the hardcore lefties that run the Democrats.

Pardon second post. They aren't going to replace Befuddled Biden right away. If they wait two years, the replacement could theoretically be President for 10 years. If the replace Joe in the first two years, it would count as a full term and then only 8 years.

No one has mentioned ValJar. She was interviewed by Maria Bartiromo this past week. And she ran the White House for 8 years.

This issue will be rendered moot when PDJT kicks uncle Joe's arse in November. Take it to the bank.
