On COVID, Biden promises to enforce on day one a national strategy with testing, more resources for schools and "take the muzzle off the experts."

"We'll have a national mandate to wear a mask," he says.

He says the president has "failed to protect America -- and that is unforgivable."

"I'll protect America, defend us from every attack -- seen and unseen," he says. Share

He did a good job of pretending not to be senile. If there is a cure for senility and the Dem party is hiding it from us, then we need to take them to task for it.

As a “patriotic” duty, none the less. Nice word joe, what’s it mean? “You know the thing, you put on your face”

Um, even if he wins day 1 is 1/20/2021. Does he really think they are going to be able to control the masses that long?

Exactly.

The media can’t have it both ways....if JoeSniff Biden is such a wonderful orator, and has his faculties completely about him....the debate he must!

Maybe it was just my computer connection, but there was a part in the middle where the voice level and clarity seemed to change.

If this was a speech that was prerecorded with the best bits pieced together they did a masterful job.

There was a big screen in the back with an audience of Zoom screens, but during the speech we heard no applause and weren't allowed to see the screen. This might be a tell that the speech was done at a different time. Who knows. The Swamp is deep.

The speech was a word salad. Must’ve got him pepped up with amphetamines and Ensure. Noticed he looked lost as he was walking out of the convention.

So I guess this is another example of Trump's 4D chess:

1) Set expectations of Biden speech real low
2) Biden overperforms
3) Trump can now demand debates

Uncle Joe was mentioning bringing back and more jobs for America. Gee where have we heard that message before? BTW old Joe raising taxes and foisting the New Green Deal upon us will be an economy killer.

Am I the only one who still thought his eyes looked lost? And he had misplaced anger?

This works out to Trumps advantage so now we know Joe can read a teleprompter for 20 minutes he can now debate Trump head to head for 2 hours

I have to disagree about the word salad. It was a typical acceptance speech. He went through his talking points one after another. He brought in personal details that dovetailed with each of his talking points. He began and ended his speech with talk of the light and a bit of poetry: standard grade-A rhetorical bookending.

The problem he's going to have is that he has basically accused Trump of being Darth Vader, but Disney has screwed up Star Wars so much that now everyone loves Darth Vader!

I agree. I honestly don’t know what those Fox people were watching. I saw the walking cadaver read his speech. He is a bad actor. He mentioned the terrible Charlottesville white supremacists and how Trump called them fine people, but nothing about the thugs and punks destroying Portland, NYC, Seattle, etc. Trump made 5 million Americans sick and killed 170,000. Blah blah blah, lie, lie, lie. It was all BS.

I hope this gives them the confidence to let Joe dementia go mano a mano with PDJT.
