Biden says Democratic convention may need to be virtual
The Hill ^ | 04 05 2020

Posted on 04/05/2020 6:44:47 AM PDT by yesthatjallen

Joe Biden said Sunday that the Democratic National Convention may need to be held virtually.

The former vice president and 2020 Democratic frontrunner told ABC’s “This Week” that his party's convention is “necessary,” but added it may not be possible to bring thousands of people to one location safely amid the pandemic.

“Well, we’re gonna have to do a convention,” Biden said. “We may have to do a virtual convention. I know I think we should be thinking about that right now.”

“What we do between now and then is gonna dictate a lot of that as well,” he added.

Maybe they can use an app like they did in Iowa.

Virtually worthless. The protests could be good.

That’s one way to mitigate the Bernie Bros plans to burn down Milwaukee.

I think th3 party is spooked by the threats of riots by Bernie supporters. That spectacle could cause permanent harm to down ticket votes.

I also think Biden’s people are doing all they can to prevent Biden from making any public appearances

Maybe they can put Biden’s speeches on a 5 minute delay so they can bleep out all the gaffes.

It would make it easier to keep Joe in the closet.

Why bother? Just prerecord it with direction. Better yet, have him wear a mask and lip synch with a voice impersonator. Biden Maviden!

I’m thinking “This Week” is pre-taped and Biden may have more to say on Sunday.

Dems have decided that long term shutdown helps them politically. That is the only thing that matters to them.

Clearest sign yet that they plan to extend the closure of the US economy until the November election.

There is a lot of stupid going around.

1. AOC wants to burn Congress offices down. Shall we start with hers?
2. Biden says checks are being held up because President Trump wants to sign the checks. All 300 million?
3. Dr. Brats (so?) says we shouldn’t go grocery shopping. And eat what?
4. Pelosi and Barney Google want another investigation. Under the guise of impeachment, which got us into the mess we are in?

A virtual Rat convention would be a perfect foil for an in-person Republican convention. A bunch of pussies that want to cower in fear vs. determined Americans willing to rebuild the economy. Bring it Joe, you frickin’ idiot.

Somehow George Orwell did not envision Joe Biden to fill a big screen as the Dear Leader. However the big screen might be useful for Democrats everywhere to unleash their daily two minutes of hate.
