*Three reasons Joe Biden will never be president*
March 9, 2020 https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/columnists/three-reasons-joe-biden-will-never-be-president
*Joe Biden was sworn into the U.S. Senate on Jan. 3, 1973. He remained in the Senate until Jan. 15, 2009 — a span of 36 years. If history is any guide, that alone is a disqualifier in Biden’s quest for the White House.*
What does 36 years in the Senate say about a politician? It says he is a senator — not a president.
So the first reason Biden will not become president is that no one who served 36 years in the Senate has ever become president. No one who served 30 years in the Senate has ever become president. No one who served 25 years in the Senate has ever become president. No one who served 20 years in the Senate has ever become president. No one who served 15 years in the Senate has ever become president.
It’s not for lack of trying. Bob Dole, who was sworn into the Senate on Jan. 3, 1969, ran for president 27 years later, in 1996. He quit the Senate during the campaign to show his determination to become president. But his long years in the Senate, plus his age — he was 73 at the time and the subject of endless suggestions that he was too old to be president — were a deal-killer for voters.
Others tried, too. In 2008, John McCain ran for president after 21 years in the Senate. It didn’t work. In 2004, John Kerry ran for president after 19 years in the Senate. That didn’t work, either.
A long career in the Senate is simply not a foundation for a successful run for the White House. The most recent political figure to realize that was Barack Obama, who was sworn into the Senate in 2005 and two years later was running for the presidency — and to get out of the Senate.
OK, put aside the Senate, Biden’s supporters would say. What about his eight years as vice president? Certainly that could be the basis for a successful
presidential run. But the second reason Biden will not become president is that the record of vice presidents on that score is not encouraging.
Fourteen vice presidents have become president. Of those, eight became president upon the death of the president. Of that group, some were later elected to the White House, but they were running for the office as the sitting president.
Others, such as George H.W. Bush, became president by running to succeed the president they served. They ran for president as the sitting vice president. When Bush did that, in 1988, it had not been done since 1836. It has not been done since.
In any event, that is not Biden’s situation. He served eight years as vice president but did not run to succeed Obama. Now, he is running as a private citizen.
Only one president has gone from the vice presidency to private life and then to the presidency. Richard Nixon served as vice president in the 1950s, narrowly lost the 1960 presidential election, and then came back to win the presidency in 1968. That is Biden’s hope — that a vice president can leave office and then, after a period outside government, return to win the White House.
Perhaps. But Nixon, who spent less than three years in the Senate, became vice president a few days after turning 40 and was sworn in as president at 56 — more than two decades younger than Biden, who will be 78 on Inauguration Day, 2021.
Finally, the third reason Biden will not be president is the “14-Year Rule.” The idea of former George W. Bush speechwriter John McConnell, and popularized by writer Jonathan Rauch, it basically says that politicians have a strict sell-by date. “No one gets elected president who needs longer than 14 years to get from his or her first gubernatorial or Senate victory to either the presidency or the vice presidency,” Rauch wrote. That has been true for a century.
Biden didn’t even get close. It took him 36 years to get from his first Senate victory to the vice presidency. If he wins the presidency now, it would be 47 years from that first Senate swearing-in until Inauguration Day.
Of course, it’s possible the 14-Year Rule, the “Too Long In The Senate Rule,” and the “How Vice Presidents Become President Rule” might all be wrong in Biden’s case. If so, he can frame this headline and hang it somewhere in the White House. But don’t bet on it.
Trump makes people sick. Mentality and now physically
Literally! #Facts
TRUMP 2020 20 for Treason 20 for Fraud and Tax Evasion
@Jeff Woods Do you mean like trumps taxes and shady deals with his taxes that he owes 400 hundred million or more by now and that’s why he probably owes so much to putin he’s Russias puppet 😁
@THE SIXTH ORACLE deflecting from the lies of the bidens and the corruption between them and the Ukrainians? Typical
@Ron Wuerch yet D.T instead of preventing the worst scenario he escalates it with his lies and deception always blaming and firing everyone for his own fk ups if you dont take responsibility for your screw ups your not much of a leader or man😁
But he did not isolate himself from his son or wife. We the people never get the same medications or treatment
@THE SIXTH ORACLE really what makes you think that? Because of his quack sister?
@Jeff Woods ….. Hunter Biden isn’t running for president.
But let’s talk about your cult leader’s foundation and how his adult children were Court ordered to take ethics classes.
We could also talk about Ivanka’s financial dealings with China. You know, where your cult leader still has ties, shirts, etc. made.
@Christy Ann yes but, the liar who got him involved with the corruption and was receiving funds from it, is…
And we havent even tapped into the corruption going with china and the bidens and others in the dem party..
And how do you think the trade deal and tariffs that benefit America helped Ivanka?
@Christy Ann and I’m sorry ethics like accusations thrown at the President without any proof or evidence? Or pelosi ripping up the speech behind the President? Classy..
Or the untold amount of ethics the leftist, “journalists, ” had with press conferences when speaking over the answers after asking a question?
Just a few examples of ethical behavior of the left..
Does he ever spend time with them anyway?
Trump rallies are a clown show. At least biden is serious.
@3 Things Fishing oh thats rich.

@Jasmany Foch trumps a clown show.
@3 Things Fishing Like trump isn’t stealing us blind… PLEASE

America will be great again on the day Donald Trump takes his last breath.
Amen!!!!!
When that happens you will be able to go to the most remote geographical spot in not just America but North America, stop and hear the combined power of the cheers of millions of people like high pitched thunderstorms off in the distance over the horizon..
TRUMPKIN Orange on the Outside Hollow on the Inside In the Garbage in November
Not unless the system and people wake up
Amen to that
Lies after lies and trump supporters believe his lies.dumb and dumber
Hook, line and sinker
The single, MOST important thing we can do for COVID-19 is to isolate the President.
Permanently.
For twenty-five to life for insider trading, and reckless endangerment.
tRump “get everyone including your kids back out there, (no matter if they die or not)…that way I look better for my own monetary and political gain”
Because America has a large minority of religious extremists falsely claiming to believe in “right to life” who lack humanity and care nothing about the sanctity of human life, we have over 218,000 COVID-19 deaths in less than a year–many of them preventable. COVID-19 task force “leader” creepy VP “Pandemic” Pence, President of Notre Dame Reverend Jenkins, Notre Dame law professor and SCOTUS nominee Amy “COVID” Barrett, are just three prime examples.
Donald Trump is more Dangerous than Covid 19
VOTE HIM OUT!!👉
we know he is Vladimir Putin’s but OMG you don’t have to say Barron Trump you know we know🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂🤣🤣🪑🪑🪑🪑

Vote Ivanka out. Vote Ivanka out.
There is a second wave of Covid19 …
Are you ready for a second wave of Trump presidency ?
Only a fool would believe Donald and family had covid19! It is lie people!
Toxic Trump: “Since Ivanka takes a pregnancy test daily, don’t wear a condom!”
Makes total sense for his moronic base, I am sure!👍💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸
It’s always interesting when Trump talks about himself, his children, & his friends in the 3rd person.
Haywire’s buddy ,, Johnny always talk the same way…. They’ve got a name for that mental disease…..
I think I read somewhere that people frequently referring to themselves in the third person have some type of psychiatric disorder.
He’s not cured. He’s as crazy as ever.
Lol💯
They mean cured from the virus..not insanity …lol
@Stew country songs Stew That still leaves him crazy!
Good luck, Trump is helping n bringing the Chinese virus to America soil. After eight months of bringing in, he said the 200k die were worth, so America is No 1..

You’re giving him too much respect recognizing even that much of his name, and using caps too?….. Oh no, it is just “the don”
Yes he’s young but he and every other young person can spread it.
Sounds like the administration is guilty of insider trading
I like the analogy.
This president dragged Americans and the world into vortex of darkness, and now into black hole , dangerous times are forthcoming for majority of decent people
Hey boris your dark is my glorious orange glow.
Trump most hated man in the world also the most laughed at he is a joke
