And, yes, it’s a serious suggestion:

Now here’s what Biden should do next: Pick a Republican running mate in a “trans-party” third-party run for the White House.

Nobody is really buying it, however:

This is like the Platonic form of an idea that ONLY appeals to insular, DC-centric elites — the kind of crap they mistake for wisdom. Ugh. https://t.co/RtLU7vhtF3

And let’s not forget that Joe’s “back in chains” gaffe:

Biden said in 2012 that Romney was gonna put black people back in chains, but hey times change people change…..
