Joe Biden | The Adobo Chronicles

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.

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.
