BTRTN: Joe Biden Appears to be Enjoying Himself Immensely
Born To Run The Numbers is certain that Joe Biden will run for re-election... but not for all the conventional reasons you read elsewhere. BTRTN thinks Biden will run because he is simply having too much fun to give this job up:

Excerpts: "...It seems a foregone conclusion that Joe Biden will run for reelection. Biden believes that he is the only candidate that can hold off the GOP; that he has a fine record of accomplishment; and that he feels fit for the rigors of a reelection campaign and a second term. Here is another theory on why he will run: hes enjoying himself way too much to give it up...
"We offer as evidence the month of February, when Biden seemed positively giddy, whether he was sparring with MAGA crazies, shooting down UFOs, making an unprecedented visit to a war zone or taking the global stage to defend the causes of freedom and democracy against the authoritarian ways of Vladimir Putin. In each of these confrontations, Biden not only came out the clear winner, but he also looked vital, in command, and in general positively enjoying himself...
"Apart from his SOTU script -- indeed, freelancing off it -- Biden showed, rather startlingly, the nimbleness of Muhammad Ali in his prime as he parried and thrust with the crazy performance artists who are now the face of the GOP. Biden coolly set them up on Medicare and Social Security, deftly securing an audibled voice-vote agreement with the GOP to not touch Social Security or Medicare in the looming debt ceiling/budget wars. They did not even seem to understand theyd been had...

(18,678 posts)bunch of asshole Repukes. IMHO, the cliche about that which doesnt break us makes us stronger really applies to him. I cant imagine going through what hes gone through with even half the grace he has always shown. Dealing with a snot nosed brat like MTG has to be a cake walk for him.
