Biden debuts podcast in his virtual campaign for president

WASHINGTON - Former Vice President Joe Biden took his virtual presidential campaign to the next level Monday when he launched a podcast as the coronavirus forces him to get creative in reaching voters otherwise distracted by a global pandemic.

The podcast “Here’s the Deal” is intended to provide listeners “a voice of clarity during uncertain times” by delving into pressing subjects affecting Americans' day-to-day lives in conversations between Biden and “national top experts,” according to its media kit.

“Hey, Team Biden. It’s Joe, and I’m sitting in Wilmington, Delaware,” Biden says at the top of the debut podcast. “It’s a scary time, people are confused, things are changing every day, every hour so I wanted to have this conversation with you now if we could.”

In the 20-minute episode recorded last Tuesday, Biden interviews his former chief of staff, Ron Klain, who also served as the Obama administration’s Ebola czar, on how President Donald Trump should be handling the pandemic.

“I think it’s important for people to know that you’re talking to almost, every day, top economists about what to do about this," Klain told Biden on the podcast. "You’re talking to Congressional leaders on Capitol Hill and making the point that it’s important that as we fight this economic crisis, we focus on people and families, not corporations.”

“Bingo,” Biden responds.

Besides trying to provide “clarity” on important issues, the podcast promises to bring “the heart, compassion and wisdom” of Biden to Americans as the campaign contrasts President Donald Trump's crisis-management leadership to that of the former vice president.

“Why am I doing this?,” Biden asks listeners. “So we can keep talking to each other. We can’t hold rallies anymore, but we’re not gathering in big public spaces.”

Distracted? No, stampeded off a cliff of panic by the media.

Coming soon, Biden as a RoboVoice (yeah the really terrible ones you get on some YouTube videos)! Maybe it’ll sound more lifelike.

Put him in a wheelchair and he would disappear into the typical nursing home never to be scene again.

Praying he is preserved to the election and not replaced with a competent candidate.

Every day after the White House briefing, Biden needs to do one of those State of the Union responses from the Democrat point of view. He’ll show ‘em.

Biteme, The Dover Dimwit is ahead of Trump between two and nine points and twenty five point in bellwether counties in Ohio and Pennsylvania without even campaigning or knowing what state he is in or the difference between his sister and wife.
Isn’t that amazing! Why Biteme is a shoo in I tell ya; Trump should get it over with and hand over the government to Biteme the polls say. The best part of this pile of bull shit is that the rat’s pollsters are STILL lying and haven’t learned their lesson about lying in 2016. Now they want us to believe a brain damaged moron will beat Trump easily. Keep lying boys.

The dems don’t have a competent candidate. That’s why Joe is the candidate. He’s the most competent.

Joe Biden took his virtual presidential campaign to the next level Monday...

Next level? Let me guess. He used complete sentences? He didn't stutter? He didn't drift between thoughts? He realized he was running for President and not the Senate? He didn't tell more than one lie per sentence? He didn't plagiarize anyone? He had an original thought? He didn't sniff anyone's hair? He didn't fondle anyone?

God, I hope he is the nominee. Hold the target in place. Surround the target. Abuse. Humiliate. Ridicule. Destroy. Never let up. These Rat pieces of schiff need to be made irrelevant in American politics.
