Offers to be Colbert's VP.
Says he's not ready to run...

Usual Joe style, long rambling, crazy chatter & basically admits he's not emotionally stable enough?

Just have the transcript, but not the actual video/context/tone...

Something about visiting military families & somebody shouting about his son & it sounds like he admits he almost lost it??

It's too bad as he'd probably do well, but it's just terrible timing.

Did anybody else watch it? I went to bed...lol

I know people keep talking about him getting into the race, but barring some type of disaster in the HRC campaign, it looks like people can kiss those hopes good bye.

I like him enough, just don't really think he's POTUS material though.

I'd watch the video as opposed to reading the transcript. I wouldn't necessarily describe it as that.

He is truly an amazing man.

Yeah, I wouldn't characterize the interview as "usual Joe rambling." Watching a man I respect so much talk about his broken heart was incredibly emotional. The part where Colbert talked about how he raised his mom for a few years and how Biden said his sons raised him for a while too...ugh. Tears.

Wow. I really didn't know anything about him till recently, but I can clearly see why Americans love him so much. I have tears streaming down my face after watching that. What he said about his losses and faith was really moving to me. I so wish I had that kind of faith and resilience. He is really an astounding person.

Yes. I watched it live and was unaware of what was going to happen. I had to make H find them.
