Wow: Joe Biden’s staff won’t even let him do a “spontaneous” Q&A session without a script. Is he really that far gone?
Obsessive scripting is the only explanation for what happened at last week’s Biden question-and-answer session with AFL-CIO union members, when the candidate responded to a young barista’s query with the non sequitur, “Move it up here” — then paused.
Anyone who’s been following Biden’s travails recognizes those words as a cue to his aides to jog the teleprompter, as he’s done time and again in recent weeks. (Why an experienced politician with a top-notch staff keeps having this trouble is also worrisome.)
Anyway, after the pause, Joe launched into his “off the cuff” response — which was utter boilerplate: “You know, there used to be a basic bargain in this country, that workers shared in the wealth they helped create.” It’s beyond appalling that Biden would need reminding of that trope.
His aides won’t even discuss the elephant in the room.
After the AFL-CIO footage made the rounds, Fox News’ Bret Baier put the obvious question to TJ Ducklo, the campaign’s national press secretary: “Has Joe Biden ever used a teleprompter during local interviews or to answer Q&As with supporters?”
Ducklo ducked the question — repeatedly, before finally saying, “I am not going to allow the Trump campaign to funnel their questions through Fox News and get me to respond to that.”
There’s your answer.
Time and again, teleprompter troubles have exposed the fact that Biden is just reading his lines in what his campaign pretends are real conversations with supporters, like Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf.
He’s not even answering reporters’ questions off the cuff: “Look, Venezuela topline message is . . .” he told an NBC Miami reporter

“If Biden can’t answer questions without a script, how can he run the country?”
...they’re just now getting around to asking this!? Come on man!
That's simple. The people writing his scripts will run the country.
Being an expert plagiarist, he will use plays from previous years, and call a huddle, and make it sound like it is his.
And, how about those nucular codes..C’mon Man!
With Soro’s hand up his a##....
Just a tad off-topic, but I remember Barack Hussein Obama, shortly after he was first elected, using a teleprompter to speak to a group of children. He wasn’t the noted orator his handlers made him out to be. In Slow Joe’s case, he was always a gaffe machine, even before his dementia began.
I asked this very same question about Bush 1, Bush 2 Clinton and Obama.
To associate the Bush’s with Obama is the very height of ignorance
He won’t win and of course the point is if he did, it wouldn’t
be him running the country. It would be BLM,Kameltoe Harris,
Antifa and China and all the rest of the Democrats
Not a good prospect.
Exactly.
You ain’t Black.
Biden has the name recognition,
whereas Camela Harris is publicly unknown and not liked by those who do know her.
Biden is the "Trojan Horse" for the actual Harris administration.
Biden is dottering old guy, whereas Camila is an aggressive social climber.
What a combo !
What’s a little Parkinson’s and a few Lewy bodies?
“ Camila is an aggressive social climber. ‘
Willie Browne’s brown willie?
I hope Joe brings his “lightbulb” fact-checker to the debates. Joe can be wrong ‘on the fly’ and in real time.
This is a strategy. Biden will be fine in the debate and then the meme goes away. Shouldn’t help them in their effort to lower the bar so much that if Biden completes sentences he automatically wins the debate.
The answer is, Biden won’t run anything. The plan is Biden’s Marxist handlers will run everything. Biden will be brought out once in a while to read nonsense on a teleprompter. The media will not ask any questions - if you think Obama got softball questions, you ain’t seen nothing yet!
At least Biden’s increasing dementia has made it obvious to all who care to notice that his Q&A’s and town halls are scripted.
But this article pretends that without a teleprompter, a town hall Q&A would be “unscripted.”
Not true (except in the case of Trump).
It is obvious to anyone willing to make an impartial evaluation that dementia Joe is on that long sad slide into oblivion. That's a tragedy for him and his family. Yes that lack of mental capacity disqualifies him from becoming President.
The real questions right now are who is pushing him forward anyway, and who is (and would be) providing his answers? Who would be scripting his responses to questions? Who would be providing his notes and talking points for meetings with heads of state? Who would be writing the agenda for staff meetings and giving the cabinet their marching orders?
Someone or several someones out there want(s) to play President. Dementia Joe & the Ho are just the the figureheads.
