Biden plans shadow coronavirus briefings
Politico ^ | 3/20/20 | Marc Caputo

Joe Biden is planning a regular shadow briefing on coronavirus to start as early as Monday to show how he would handle the crisis and address what he calls the lies and failures of President Trump.

Biden gave a preview of what’s to come in a conference call with reporters Friday, where he listed a litany of false and misleading statements from Trump, who has been holding regular White House press conferences concerning coronavirus preparedness and response that have been broadcast live on all major networks.

“President Trump stop saying false things, will ya?” Biden said. “People are worried they are really frightened, when these things don't come through. He just exacerbates their concern. Stop saying false things you think make you sound like a hero and start putting the full weight of the federal government behind finding fast, safe and effective treatments.”

Biden made his comments from his home in Wilmington, Delaware, where he has been holed up for more than a week in adherence with Centers for Disease Control guidelines that urge people to practice social distancing.

Why would anyone want to hear what a has-been politician has to say about the current crisis?

So, Joe, name a treatment or a promissing potential treatment that needs money that it is not now getting.

Typical democrat. They never actually offer any specifics, just criticism. What actual advice could he offer? Raise taxes? Open the borders? Increase abortions? Confiscate guns? Impeach?

Biden better be in for the long haul on this...once he starts, he can’t stop until Trump does. The media will show his counter points and proposals on the evening news and fan them up as the way we should be proceeding.
