WILL BIDEN RUN AGAINST TRUMP? 'I MAY VERY WELL DO IT' IN A YEAR, HE SAYSBY JESSICA KWONG ON 12/13/17 AT 3:15 PM
Former Vice President Joe Biden on Wednesday reiterated he may very well run for president in 2020 if no viable Democratic candidate emerges.
"If I were offered the nomination by the Lord Almighty right now, today, I would say, No, because we're not ready, the family's not ready to do this, Biden said on ABCs daytime talk show The View. If in a year from now, if we're ready and no one has moved in that I think can do it, then I may very well do it, but Im being as honest as I can.

It is not the first time former President Barack Obamas vice president has flirted with a bid, but Biden in the past few months has appeared to lean more in favor of another run, according to his confidants.
Biden at a hedge fund conference in May said, I may very well do it if he was the best candidate and healthy, but at the time did not specify a potential date for when he might pull the trigger.

If Trump is stupid enough to actually run, Biden could possibly beat him
But if he doesn't run and the GOPers come up with a female or a younger male - no way

There are few left with any respect or integrity.
I see him eating any Rep opponent alive.

Whether he seriously wants to run or not, opposing him gives
the RNC something else to spend their money on.
