Anybody see Rest Home Joe's livestream
today? He's gone from low energy to
no energy. This is rehearsed and he's
reading it, yet he still runs words
together, gets confused, loses his
place. Rather than inspiring, it
feels like he's sucking the energy
out of the room. An amazing performance.

I am not going to watch it because anything he says that he would do or would have done is pretty much worthless. He can say in hindsight he would have done better; how would anyone prove or disprove that? He can say what he would do moving forward, but no one really cares. He isn't doing anything because he is not in the government now. It isn't like the media is going to talk about it if he is wrong, though they may if he gets something right.

He's in a tough position. The course of the virus and the actions of President in the process plus the status of the economy in a few months have way more to do with who will win the election than anything Biden can say at this point. He's just along for the ride...something that must be hard for a politician.

I watched it twice and he really
said nothing worth repeating.
It was all just political nonsense
delivered by a really old man who
is obviously having problems. I
feel sorry that he let himself get
in this awful position. Then I
remember he corrupt he and
his son are and I don't feel sorry
at all.

Biden on The View today:

Question: "Are you at all concerned as Trump said that we cannot let the cure be worse than the problem itself?”

Biden responded, “We have to take care of the cure. That will make the problem worse, no matter what. No matter what. We know what has to be done. We know you have to— you’re tired of hearing the phrase, you got to flatten that curve where it’s going up like this, people getting it, and then it comes down."

He rambled on for few more minutes.
He has a 78 year olds Rest Home grasp
of the situation. He's got my vote..

I don’t think EB grasps the idea that Joe Biden could die of coronavirus in August and yet his voters would still vote for him in November over Donny.

Silly gaffes that no one is paying attention to aren’t going to change a thing.

Wanna bet? You will see the minority
voters break Right this time like
they never have before. Trump is a
hero in the Black community.

Watching a live Biden interview right now. Sounds fine to me.
You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really?

He may be well served by the shutdown of the campaign. The issues he had seemed to do with exhaustion from being on the road; he seemed to keep a lighter schedule than most candidates or at least did not seem to appear in as many places. He can be well-rested now and possibly gain an advantage based on the virus and the impact on the economy.
