With sources telling the media Joe Biden is 95% likely to run in 2020. . .

Joe Biden is “95 percent” likely to run for President in 2020, his strategist tells The New York Times. “It's absolutely the closest we're going to get short of Joe Biden himself saying ‘green light, let's go,’” @alexburnsNYT reports. https://t.co/iLMJ0CropV pic.twitter.com/upmBzBkmMo — New Day (@NewDay) March 7, 2019

. . .the Washington Post and CNN have dug up some old clips of Joe Biden talking race issues, and it’s safe to say he does not fit in with the Democrat party in 2020.

First up, here’s the Washington Post with some soon-to-be campaign killers from the former VP on busing:

“Who the hell do we think we are, that the only way a black man or woman can learn is if they rub shoulders with my white child?”

"Who the hell do we think we are, that the only way a black man or woman can learn is if they rub shoulders with my white child?” said @JoeBiden in an interview from the mid-1970s, via @mviser https://t.co/j3FDou80n4 — Annie Linskey (@AnnieLinskey) March 7, 2019

You see, America has “lost our bearings” and desegregation is different than integration:

Joe Biden, deeply opposed to busing, in 1975 argued "We’ve lost our bearings since the 1954 Brown vs. School Board desegregation case. To ‘desegregate’ is different than to ‘integrate.’ I am philosophically opposed to quota systems. They insure mediocrity” https://t.co/lAb2xDcyhc — Matt Viser (@mviser) March 7, 2019

“It’s racist” to say “In order for your child with curly black hair, brown eyes, and dark skin to be able to learn anything, he needs to sit next to my blond-haired, blue-eyed son”:

Joe Biden, arguing against busing in 1975: “What it says is, ‘In order for your child with curly black hair, brown eyes, and dark skin to be able to learn anything, he needs to sit next to my blond-haired, blue-eyed son.’ That’s racist!" https://t.co/lAb2xDcyhc — Matt Viser (@mviser) March 7, 2019

And here’s “the real problem with busing”:

Biden: “The real problem with busing — you take people who aren’t racist, people who are good citizens, who believe in equal education & opportunity, and you stunt their children’s intellectual growth by busing them to an inferior school…you’re going to fill them with hatred." — Matt Viser (@mviser) March 7, 2019

“And I’ll be damned if I feel responsible to pay for what happened 300 years ago.”

“I do not buy the concept, popular in the ’60s, which said, ‘We have suppressed the black man for 300 years'" Joe Biden said in 1975. "I feel responsible…for the sins of my own generation. And I’ll be damned if I feel responsible to pay for what happened 300 years ago.” — Matt Viser (@mviser) March 7, 2019

Joe Biden in 1975: “I don’t feel responsible for the sins of my father and grandfather. I feel responsible for what the situation is today, for the sins of my own generation. And I’ll be damned if I feel responsible to pay for what happened 300 years ago.” https://t.co/qfpGev3PUr — Jenna Johnson (@wpjenna) March 7, 2019

Next up, here’s CNN with some old clips with Biden talking the crime bill:

“I don’t care why they became a sociopath.”

Highly recommend watching the video to witness Biden's fervor and zeal for the crime bill; text alone doesn't do it justice. "I don't care why someone is a malefactor in society, I don't care why someone is anti-social, I don't care why they became a sociopath." https://t.co/wSOhUu6BPv — Nathan McDermott (@natemcdermott) March 7, 2019

Watch:

NEW: Reviewing Joe Biden's record on crime we found a speech where he said "I don't care" & "it doesn't matter" what the root causes of crime are consensus is criminals needed to be immediately locked up because society doesn't know how to rehabilitate. https://t.co/JA8WJAUAZC pic.twitter.com/JqCk7yP3Bc — andrew kaczynski (@KFILE) March 7, 2019

Team Biden says this was only because the GOP was strong on crime, or something:

Biden's team argues his strong rhetoric was in response to GOP arguments that Democrats were weak on time & he supported diverting 1st time offenders from the system. Biden, they argued, supported non-violent crimes being kept away from harsher penalties. https://t.co/JA8WJAUAZC pic.twitter.com/jp4cY02VQx — andrew kaczynski (@KFILE) March 7, 2019

Get ready for Clinton 2.0:

This is *exactly* the problem that Clinton faced. If you were a national Dem in the 90s you had just watched Dukakis got destroyed and you adjusted accordingly. And your quotes and plans from then sound bonkers to Dems born after 1990. https://t.co/yLrJKOaWPk — Dave Weigel (@daveweigel) March 7, 2019
