Trump Says 'Dream' 2020 Opponent is Joe Biden: 'Obama Took Him Out of the Garbage Heap'

Source: Mediate


by Aidan McLaughlin | 9:29 am, July 19th, 2018

President Donald Trump told CBS News that Joe Biden is his “dream” opponent in the 2020 election.

In his interview with Jeff Glor, the CBS News anchor asked the president who he thinks his opponent will be on the Democratic side — noting Biden, the former vice president, has said he will decide whether he’s running by January.

“I dream about Biden — that’s a dream,” Trump said. “Joe Biden ran three times, he never got more than 1%, and President Obama took him out of the garbage heap, and everybody was shocked that he did.”

“Biden, never by himself, could ever do anything,” Trump continued, arguing Obama “made him vice president.”

Adam Schiff does not mince on words, he always speaks about the facts, has a quick mind, great presence and has not been around as much as Biden to provide ammunition to republicans.

In my opinion, Biden would be a mistake. I hate to say it, but most voters are ignorant, and that is why the Russian campaign was so successful, they will shred Biden, not necessarily with facts, but people tend to believe what they read on the internet and what they hear on TV, and besides my belief that the russians hacked to voting machines, a lot of minds were changed via the russian campaign. I have friends that swore to me about how bad Hillary was, "the things they have found out, you won't believe it"...and we all know that was real fake news, but people believed it. Now the same people who told me that don't want to talk about politics, of course.

No Biden please. DISCLAIMER: I like and respect Biden, but he would be the wrong candidate, I really hope he decide to not run.

for President Obama. But we need a more representative government. Guys like me and Joe are over represented. In eight years Adam Schiff will be to old for me to vote for.

But I'm afraid he will be much to busy over the next two years to campaign for President. There will need to be LOTS of hearings when he becomes Chairman of the House Intelligence commitee.

I think the right man for the job at this time is Adam Schiff, for his brilliant intellect, quick thinking, and spotless record. He is also courageous and doesn't dance around issues; he is very direct. He is also young enough to easily fill two terms.

I would be interested to see whom he would pick for VP.

Stay. On. Target.

He's tweeting out canards, snares, and media bait to try to make the press cover his distractions, not his ever-deepening Russia crisis.

The press should decline the bait, stay rigidly focused on covering the biggest political story in modern media history.

Trump only has a few tricks in his bag and after awhile they get very old. Lies, insults, and distractions, rarely anything of substance.

No doubt, he'll eventually go through the entire Dem roster of 2020 likely candidates, lobbing all the usual insults at each: low ratings, overrated, too liberal, a ridiculous candidate, a has-been, yaddah-yaddah...

His whole presidency has been far worse than people imagined. At this point, I'd be more surprised if Republicans didn't try to keep him from running in 2020.

Joe Biden is an overall good man whose dedicated most of his adult life to public service, advocated and fought for working families, been faithful to his wife and a loving father to his kids, upheld the loyalty oath of his office of VP, and is morally and intellectually superior to the wrecking ball corrupting our government right now.
