 Joe Biden needs a vice president who won’t try to steal his job

Joe Biden is 112 years old and can barely speak a coherent sentence. So it matters greatly whom he picks to be his running mate. The chances that his veep selection might end up becoming president during his term can’t be discounted.

Democrats have spent the Trump years talking about the virtues of the 25th Amendment. It lays out a process inside the executive branch that would temporarily and, if necessary, permanently replace a living president deemed by his Cabinet to be too infirm to serve as the most powerful man in the world.

It was never going to happen: President Trump’s own aggressiveness, and his deep bond with his voters, made any such notion unthinkable outside the fever swamps of cable news.

Still, there’s no question Democrats and liberals have softened the ground when it comes to the idea of invoking the 25th. Now think of Biden’s position. Except for a few weeks of trouble, he basically coasted into the nomination and is likely to try and coast into the presidency. He hasn’t ­engaged the passions of his party, and there isn’t a Biden “wing” to speak of.

Pdhoretz in a lunkhead.
The entire premise of his article is flawed, from the title on down:
"Joe Biden needs a vice president who won’t try to steal his job"

Ol' white Joe isn't going to need anyone to "steal" his job.
Because he isn't going to be able to perform it from day one.
