Biden: 'I think we've had enough debates'
The Hill ^ | 03 25 2020 | Jonathan Easley

Former Vice President Joe Biden on Wednesday said it’s time for the Democratic primary to draw to a close and signaled a disinterest in participating in a final debate against Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.).

“My focus is just dealing with this crisis right now,” Biden said at a virtual press conference. “I haven’t thought about any more debates. I think we’ve had enough debates. I think we should get on with this."

The remarks come a day after the Sanders campaign reiterated its intention to participate in the 12th debate of the primary cycle. Biden and Sanders are the only remaining candidates in the race.

“If there is a debate in April, he plans to be there,” Sanders spokesman Mike Casca said.

The Democratic National Committee originally scheduled 12 debates and 11 have taken place so far. The DNC has not responded to a request for comment about the whether the final debate is still in the works.

I have to agree with Joe here. No more debates needed. I was looking forward to the last one but for comedy value only.

“My focus is just dealing with this crisis right now,”

I'm pretty sure the primary crisis Joe is dealing with is finding the head at 1:00 AM without peeing in the closet.

That gave me a chuckle.

With a great deal of gnashing teeth, screaming, moaning, and perhaps even some bloodshed?

Biden is doing absolutely NOTHING to handle this crisis. He occasionally shows up on TV to say we should do things we are already doing, and to make a few gaffes.

It is telling that for the democrats, the big three are Andrew Cuomo, Chuck Schumer, and Nancy Pelosi. Frankly, the democrats are being stupid. They should actually be having “meetings” with Biden, and pretending he is leading the democrats, so it looks at least like he is presidential.

But when your own party is ignoring you, it sounds stupid to say you are “handling the crisis”.

He can't debate since he can now only remember 38 words and falling.

Maybe Joe’s crisis is the wheels coming off the “No Malarkey” bus.

I think Trump might have something different to say about that.

He has nothing to gain from more debates so why should he participate in any?

What exactly has Joe been doing to deal with the crisis. Hiding in his house? Must stink to be running for President and everyone forgets there is an election. President Trump forever.

Biden is nuts. He isn’t employed nor does he hold an appointed position, yet he is dealing with the crisis... does he think he is president or currentlyVP?
