Never has the nickname “Slow Joe” Biden fit better than in today’s somnambulistic performance from his home in Delaware about what he thinks needs to be done about the coronavirus. Take in this 60 second excerpt from the middle of his remarks and ask yourself if this looks like a person who can make it to November:
I’ll bet you didn’t know that Biden was such an expert on logistics. And about sending the military to collect medical supplies overseas . . . um, what? C’mon, man!
Two observations: If you watch the whole thing, Biden doesn’t suggest a single thing that the Trump administration isn’t already doing. So why did he bother? Which leads to the second point: he is so dismal in this video that you have to wonder how his campaign staff let him go forward with it. It is clear he had difficulty with the teleprompter or whatever cueing prop he was trying to use.
Is it a mere coincidence that there is a lot of chatter erupting right now that, gosh, by golly, that Governor Andrew Cuomo sure would make a great nominee against Trump in November.
This does take me back. In 1984 I attended the Democratic National Convention in San Francisco with a press credential, and was in the hall for Gov. Mario Cuomo’s electrifying keynote address on the opening night. Cuomo had only been elected governor in a close race in 1982, and so was still unknown even to many Democrats. Everyone pretty much knew that Mondale was a sure loser to Ronald Reagan in the fall, and you heard a lot of chatter in and around the convention hall over the next 48 hours that, gee—wouldn’t it be great if we could dump Mondale and run Mario Cuomo instead?
History seems to be skipping straight to the “repeat-as-farce” stage right now. Hell, Mondale at 92 today would be a better candidate than Biden. Except that Republicans seem to have swiped Mondale’s industrial policy for themselves, so who knows what he’d have to run on except for Minnesota Nice
He looks like a Red Man.
I love how Trump just gave a two hour press briefing and never even mentioned Biden.
Joe will be out by June. He’s an embarrassment, even to the Dems.
Look, here’s the deal.
Period.
Gropin' Joe is supposed to do this once a day, no?
I can't think of any other explanation for just how awful his campaign has been run.
“Joe will be out by June. He’s an embarrassment, even to the Dems.”
I guess the dems could expose ol’ Joe to covid-19 and that might be one way. Of course he might survive.
I just saw part of this Joe Fiasco on Hannity. He mentions what we did in the 1940’s and the way he said it immediately made me think he was there. He is just a few years short of having been there. Then he comes back to repeat his point and says what we did in the 1940’s and the 1920’s
He honestly like a 100 year old.
I’m thinking joe is playing dumb. Excuse not to go to jail over Burisma.
The Cummo brothers are fudong on cnn. Great tv.
It would have been less creepy if he wore a hospital examination smock.
“He’s an embarrassment, even to the Dems.”
Dems fon’t embarrass.
Some kind of political Kung Fu?
Are there any comedians doing impersonation skits of the corrupt old dirtbag?
If not, maybe it’s because it’s not possible to be more ridiculous than the genuine article.
They are obviously going to push for Cuomo. We just need the Bernie Bros/Antifa to put on a real show at the Democrat Convention. Let the DNC pull Biden in favor of a guy that didn’t even run. I thought it would be Newsome. Wrong coast, but basically the same guy. This could be 1968 all over again, except we have an incumbent with a core of support that cannot be pierced.
Phone error. It was great tv though. They really dont like each other.
Have to Believe Cuomo will be approached to replace Biden who will ‘take ill’ or something...No way Biden can handle the job..Only reason Bernie the film flam man is still around...
“I’m thinking joe is playing dumb. Excuse not to go to jail over Burisma.”
He would if he could, but it’s just too convincing. I don’t think he’s nearly that good an actor.
