WASHINGTON, D.C. (The Adobo Chronicles) – Hillary Clinton remains the unchallenged presidential candidate for the Democrats, and that’s not going to change any time soon.

The only other viable Democratic candidate for president is Vice President Joe Biden, and he’s not about to challenge Clinton either.  But he wants to run for president.

So, in a move that shocked both Democrats and Republicans, Biden today announced that he was switching party from Democratic to Republican, and he’s running for president under the GOP.

Republicans welcomed Biden’s announcement. They are resigned to the reality that no Republican could put up a strong enough challenge to Clinton — not Ted Cruz, not Rand Paul, not Marco Rubio.  Not even Jeb Bush if he decides to enter the race.

The Republican National Committee acknowledged  that having Biden run in 2016 under the Republican Party is the only realistic option for the GOP to take back the White House.

Political observers say that this new development could spell victory for the Republicans.  Biden’s candidacy will split the Democratic vote while ensuring a 100% Republican vote for Biden.
