It’s the Democratic presidential debate: Coronavirus edition.

Sunday night’s debate is keeping former veep Joe Biden and Sen. Bernie Sanders at a safe distance amid the deadly pandemic, with the two men debating each other from lecterns placed six feet away from each other.

In fact the two candidates eschewed the usual handshake when they took the stage in DC, instead exchanging an elbow bump.

Biden and Sanders should be tested immediately....Neither is a cautious person and they surely have bumped into someone carrying this nasty bug.

Yes senility is contagious.

They are the nasty bugs. They are BUGS infiltrating everything.

OMG how did we ever take Iwo Jima?

You're a funny guy. No, you're a funny guy.

Considering the elbow is where you are now supposed to cough, it seems an ill chosen replacement for the hand. Why not do what other countries have chosen and tap toes?

It’s been years since liberal elites on CNN really cared about an issue. The ‘after debate’ people are coming across as authentic...

Usually liberal elites flip off people in places like West Virginia losing their jobs with comments like ‘they can learn to code’... Now that there’s an issue that effects THEIR LIFESTYLE we’re seeing real interest.

Elites care about restaurants closing, concerts being cancelled, European vacations closed down... Finally they
CARE... and they’re worried about the little people who keep THEIR lifestyle serviced... Odd to see them involved.

Stranger yet is they’re asking their own questions about the virus... no more ‘exact same’ talking points... and there’s interest behind their eyes.

INtersting thought....and I agree.

I think tapping toes is considered soliciting here.

Two creepy old scumbag losers that half this country wants to foist on the other half. I hate all of them.
