Tone deaf just doesn’t begin to describe this.

What an idiot

[Pearls Before Swine]

” Anybody who can throw coal into a furnace can learn how to program, for God’s sake!”

Boiler feeding isn’t what miners do, Joe.

[Pilgrim's Progress]

Biden=/=smart

[al_c]

Can you imagine the media if a Republican had said this?

[Trump.Deplorable]

But if you tell MSM “actors” when they lose their jobs on facebook or twitter to “learn to code” you will get suspended.

[Scrambler Bob]

If you are in the hospital and you code, what is that?

[BBQToadRibs]

He basically said he doesn’t care about blue collar/trade workers. That doesn’t sell well.

[Trump.Deplorable]

This has to be satire right?

No way Quid Pro Joe is this tone deaf

[butlerweave]

Joe has no clue what Code is

[JMK]

"a town that many miners call home..."

Sorry Joe, I'm not aware of a single operating coal mine in NH.

"... was met with silence from the audience...

They were probably wondering who/what the #$!#$! he was talking about!

[DUMBGRUNT]

Joe knows coal!

why is it that Joe Biden is the first in his family ever to go to a university? ... Those people who could work eight hours underground and then ... My ancestors, who worked in the coal mines of Northeast Pennsylvania and would...

According to Weigel, the comment was met with silence from the audience.

That line is everything I need to know. It would have been hilarious to be there and look at the faces of the union leaders.

This guy thinks the way out of a hole is to keep digging.

We have got to make sure he gets the Democrat nomination this summer. With him and maybe Poka-honkey as his Running Deer, I mean running mate, President Trump might even have a chance to out-do Reagan in 1984. And their “coat-tails” will surely send Nancy to the back bench, and, if we’re lucky, AOC back to the cocktail circuit.

[Kebbe]

Let us assume 4 out of 100 miners could learn to code well enought to get a job: The JOBS would be given by Democrat Leaning Software companies to contract workers with an H1b Visa from India.

[BobL]

Wow, I just hope the Democrats nominate Biden. I was going to vote for Williamson in the Democrat Primary (to have some fun), but now I may have to vote for Biden...as he’s way over his head.

[Campion]

Never stop your enemy from destroying himself.

But I really want to ask:

1. What about someone who's spent his entire adult life leeching off the taxpayer like a parasite? Say, someone who was elected to Congress from Delaware at the ripe old age of 29, and has had nothing (that wasn't blatantly corrupt) to do with the private sector since? Can a worthless piece of parasitic scum like that learn to code, too, Joe?
2. What can you "code" with after the power goes out because there's no coal to feed the powerplants, and there's not enough renewable energy to go around, and the nukes are all shut down? Computers don't run without juice, and software doesn't run without computers.
3. Learn to code?? Seriously? So they can have a job that gets offshored or replaced by an H1-B that you Democrat slime (with help from the Republican quislings) import from India?

I "learned to code" 40 years ago, and have been in the software industry my whole adult life. I have also been laid off twice (once so my job could be shipped to India) and have had a largely stagnant career because glib talkers (preferably with MBAs) advance much more rapidly than a quiet, highly-competent engineer in most companies.

[Don Corleone]

Pure outright elitist!

"Let them write code."
