BREAKING NEWS – Exeter, New Hampshire – Former Vice President Joe Biden said he would be willing to name a Republican running mate in his bid for president. “The answer is, I would,” Biden answered before adding “I can’t think of one right now,” which drew laughter from the crowd inside Exeter’s historic town hall building. “No, I’m serious. No. Here’s what I mean. Let me finish. Many democrats think I am an imbicile, so why shouldn’t I reach across the aisle? And if the republicans also conclude that I’m a buffoon, then I’ll reach out to the independents. And if all three of them jointly feel the same way about my marginal intelligence, then I’ll spend more time at my most reliable base which is circuses, solidifying the clown vote.”
