On Tuesday, someone over at Politico tried to convince the American people that Joe Biden should “run on a unity ticket” with Mitt Romney.
Here’s just a slice of this feckless, centrist wet dream:
[Biden] is one of our most esteemed and admired leaders. His favorability ratings have touched the 60-percentile range. He appeals to the kind of working-class voters Democrats have been bleeding to Republicans over the years. Most important, he could make a good president, and not just because he has a deep mix of domestic and foreign policy experience; he also has the character for the job. His eulogy at the McCain funeral was not just a riveting and poignant tribute to his good friend, but a testament to Biden’s own genuine grace and good humor. The speech salved some of the grief of those in our nation who worry that McCain’s passing has left a gaping hole in America’s moral fabric.
Now here’s what Biden should do next: Pick a Republican running mate in a “trans-party” third-party run for the White House.
That Republican is Romney, senator-elect of Utah and man who irons his shirt while it’s on his body.
No.
