BIDEN NOT RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT, ENDORSES DONALD TRUMP

WASHINGTON, D.C. (The Adobo Chronicles) – “I don’t consider Republicans enemies; they’re friends.”

With these words, Vice President Joe Biden announced that he has decided not to seek the Democratic nomination for president. At the same time he formally endorsed Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.

“The other team is not the enemy,” he said Tuesday night during dinner remarks at the Four Seasons hotel in Washington. “If you treat it as the enemy there is no way we can ever ever solve the problems we have to.”

In making the announcement at the White House Rose Garden, Biden chastised Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders for distancing themselves from President Obama in their respective campaigns.

“Our country needs four or eight more years of Obama, and only Trump has the audacity to continue with the accomplishments of the present administration — from health care and immigration reform to marriage equality and better opportunities for the middle class,” the vice president said.

Biden’s endorsement of Trump could only mean one thing: that Trump will be the Republican nominee for president and will win by a landslide against either Clinton or Bernie Sanders in the general elections.

FCC ORDERS SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE TO GIVE EQUAL TIME TO ALL CANDIDATES

WASHINGTON, D.C. (The Adobo Chronicles) – The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has ordered Saturday Night Live (SNL) to have each of the remaining 36 Republican presidential candidates host a future episode of the late-night comedy television show.

SNL had previously announced that Donald Trump will host the November 7 episode, prompting complaints from the rest of the Republican candidate field.

FCC rules mandate that if free airtime was granted to a candidate over the public airwaves, equal time had to be made available to his or her opponent, if it was requested.

Well, all of Trump’s opponents requested equal time.

So there you have it, for 35 weeks after November 7 viewers will be treated to a GOP presidential candidate hosting SNL, starting with Ben Carson.

On the Democratic side, since Hillary Clinton appeared for a short segment of SNL recently, each of the Democratic presidential candidates (except Jim Webb who dropped out of the race today) will be given the same amount of time on the show.

That, folks, is how Demoracy works!

WILL THE REAL DEMOCRATIC VICE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE PLEASE STEP FORWARD?

SAN ANTONIO, Texas (The Adobo Chronicles) – Democratic presidential contender Hillary Clinton said she would seriously consider making Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julian Castro her running mate if she wins her party’s nomination.

Clinton and the other Democrats in the November 2016 race for the White House have pushed hard for support among Hispanics, a fast-growing and critical voting bloc that has moved toward Democrats in recent elections as Republicans have stymied comprehensive immigration reform in Congress and disparaged Mexican immigrants on the campaign trail.

“I am going to look really hard at him for anything, because that’s how good he is,” Clinton said at a U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce meeting in San Antonio, Texas, when asked if Castro might be her vice presidential pick.

Clinton said she was “thrilled” to win the backing of Castro, a former mayor of San Antonio. Castro’s twin brother Joaquin, a U.S. congressman, already endorsed Clinton and campaigned with her in Nevada.

Which begs the question, how will voters know which one of the twins is running for vice president?

GOP campaign strategists have accused Clinton of trying to circumvent campaign rules by choosing a candidate who has an identical twin. They suspect that either of the brothers will be campaigning as the VP candidate, creating a possible scenario where one would be appearing in California and the other in New Hampshire at exactly the same time! “That puts the GOP at a campaign disadvantage,” they said.
