Joe Biden reached a new and heady milestone when he shellacked Bernie Sanders in Florida, Illinois and Arizona to become the de facto Democratic nominee for president.
But there was no soaring speech to acknowledge the moment. He never took the stage amid a sea of Biden signs or before an adoring crowd on national television. Biden was instead stuck in a makeshift studio in his Delaware home, webcasting his remarks with a low-quality personal computer camera against a straight-out-of-YouTube black backdrop and two American flags.
He warned about the coronavirus contagion. He offered an olive branch to Bernie Sanders. Then, despite two consecutive weeks of smashing victories, he all but disappeared from the news cycle for days.
The moment was a perfect distillation of Biden’s current predicament — in a state of suspended political animation, trapped between a rival who refuses to quit and the global pandemic that has all but shut down the Democratic primary campaign.
Because Sanders won’t quit, Biden can’t fully pivot to the general election. He can’t truly unite the party’s warring factions. Nor can he begin stockpiling the vast amounts of money he’ll need for November. His momentum has effectively been stopped cold.

Number 6?
Trump didn’t use a playbook.
He’s history.
Totally irrelevant right now. It’s so bad that nobody even cares whether he’s demented or not, b/c nobody is listening.
Biden isn’t cool enough to be The Prisoner.
Will the Democrats even be able to have their convention? Addled Joe may have to accept the nomination in his living room with Jill and Hillary playing kazoos and holding sparklers. He’ll probably think it is July 4th.
The nation doesn't care about November. They care about next week.
He is NOT a number. He is a FREE... Oh, wait, it’s Joe Biden. He isn’t even a number.
...But FReeper kudos to you for a great reference! :-D
I’d suggest getting H->! out on the hustings with him.
A comatose Joe Biden froxe after his speech claiming victory is a series of primaries. He stood silent and motionless for a long moment, seemingly forgetting where he was until his wife came to fetch him. He mumbled thank you to her and then at the camera before being led off stage-right. Pathetic.
kazoos! LOL

bubble boy
Joe, wake up and smell the hair.
Biden can’t do this ... Biden can’t do that ... Maybe Biden is not a leader.
So sad too bad, not really. 8>)
