The real polling his puppet masters are seeing must really be terrible for them to be having him walk back opposition to fracking, defunding the police, support for Antifa, and now his mask mandate all in one week.

Person 1: “I heard that Trump supports law and order.”
Person 2: “He’s such a dictator. That guy is worse than Hitler!”
Person 1: “What do you think of the COVID-19 situation?”
Person 2: “Trump needs to jump in and use awesome powers to solve all our problems!”
Person 1: “Do you think Biden would do that?”
Person 2: “Heck no! That would be unconstitutional. Joe said so himself!”

“So, he’s debating himself?”

I suspect the Democrats will find some way to avoid the unspeakable embarrassment of putting this pathetic old codger up on a debate stage against one of the world’s great communicators.

If that happens it would be a great idea to broadcast a video of Joe Biden debating himself by splicing together various clips of him taking whatever position the focus groups say is advantageous on any given day.

If he gets any more transparent, he’ll vanish altogether.

I know. The idiot (or at least his handlers) changes his supposed “opinions” hourly, obviously based on polling.

By the time Biden walks back his agenda due to real polling data, he will be sounding like Trump.

Their private focus groups showed that this was a big time vote loser for any party pushing this mask B$!

so the criticism of Trump NOT issuing a mandate wasn’t fully thought out? Facisnating.
