Biden, Seen as 'Irrelevant' in Coronavirus Crisis, Calls for Nationwide Lockdown

Joe Biden appeared at a CNN townhall to talk about the coronavirus pandemic and nobody cared.

That's the biggest fear that Democrats have at this point in the campaign. Biden has become an afterthought, a non-player, an irrelevant presence in America today. Part of that is he's been prevented from making public appearances because of the pandemic. But more importantly, Biden really has nothing interesting to say about the crisis. He echoes Democratic talking points about Trump's failures, but as far as recommending action, he's been stuck with parroting the president.

The New York Post:

“He’s making himself irrelevant,” Saikat Chakrabarti, a former chief of staff to Queens Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, told The Post, saying the virtual broadcasts were not helping. “We need action immediately, and Biden can’t do anything real right now.”

Biden has been forced to watch from the sidelines as President Trump steals the spotlight with daily coronavirus briefings that have been a ratings smash.

Though some experts have criticized the president for spreading inaccurate information and promoting untested antibiotics during his briefings, polls suggest Americans are increasingly pleased with his performance handling the deadly pandemic.

All the Democrats have as far as criticism of Trump is that he didn't gaze into his crystal ball and see the future course of the pandemic. The New York Times, naturally, is blaming Trump for the spread of the virus. He should have tested sooner! He should have ordered social distancing sooner! He should have KNOWN!

Biden is now calling for a nationwide lockdown as a way of trying to get back into the game...

[TaxPayer2000]

Sleepy Joe

[Paladin2]

Lock down?

I say lock him UP.

It’s the only way to be sure.

[technically right]

Well a good start would be NYC then. I can get behind that

[Secret Agent Man]

Thank you Joe

Keep Talking

Keep Digging the hole

[jazusamo]

Amen to that.

[Sarah Barracuda]

Creepy Joe needs to lockdown his finger, because according to Tara Reade he does really really disgusting things with it

• Democrats fret as Joe Biden becomes 'irrelevant' in coronavirus crisis
• Trump struggles with tone in virus crisis, aides urge more empathy

Cuomo is against it. Guess Slow Joe didn’t get the message. Oh well.

[goldstategop]

As usual, Plugs is giving the same kind of uninformed opinion Democrats are criticizing the President about. Oops!

[Socon-Econ]

Biden is trying to fool Trump into giving the Democrats political cover for their panicked lock-downs.

[jazusamo]

Yep, slow Joe isn’t the sharpest knife in the drawer by a long shot.

[leaning conservative]

Irrelevant in life. His wife should be charged with elder abuse.

[KarlInOhio]

President Trump says the country could open up around Easter so Biden says we need a complete lockdown. This reflexive anti-Trump reaction could be fun. Maybe the President should announce that he believes the Democrats should NOT commit mass suicide. Biden would be pouring the cyanide in the KoolAid the next day.

[wjcsux]

Biden has always been irrelevant.

[stuck_in_new_orleans]

Lockdown? Gov Cuomo won’t like that!

[goldstategop]

Democrats should do a collective Jonestown. Another deranged cult no one would miss.
