MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell Wants Biden’s Staff to be Allowed on Stage With Him at Debates (VIDEO)

MSNBC host Lawrence O’Donnell thinks he has a solution to Joe Biden’s debate problems. Just allow Biden’s staff to be on stage with him during the debates.

To be clear, O’Donnell suggests that this is something that all candidates should do, even Trump, presumably. But we all know that O’Donnell is only saying this now because he thinks that Biden is the one who needs the help of other people to get through a debate.

It’s amazing that this is the sort of analysis that MSNBC viewers get on a regular basis.

Transcript via Real Clear Politics:

LAWRENCE O’DONNELL: Allow the candidates to have as many staff as they want, join them on the stage throughout the debate, and make sure that all of them have microphones, and the candidates should be allowed to turn to their staff and confer with them about anything at any time in the debate.

And we should be able to hear everything they say. So we can hear if the candidate has competent or incompetent staff, we could hear the candidate overrule some advisers and say something else.

We could watch the candidates actually think and process information, including including possibly information that they might not know until a staff member tells them or reminds them a candidate should be allowed to let staff members actually answer questions for them, just as the Secretary of State, Anthony Blinken answers questions on behalf of the president around the world as has every Secretary of State in history.

That’s the way the presidency actually works. The presidency does not involve oral exams and memory quizzes. The president is allowed to forget what the marginal income tax rate is on couples filing jointly with an income of $150,000.

Here’s the video:

The left are shameless. They genuinely think they can gaslight people to believe anything.

Why? Biden already has his staff prompting him through his earpiece.

Would that include a Doctor (Jill or Fauci) to keep injecting him with amphetamines?

Why not give him a service dog?

BTW, FU Biden is being played by at least four Central Casting actors.

Heck if we were to do that — then why even have debates?

Can you imagine John F. Kennedy’s reaction to such a ridiculous suggestion?

Such a side show doesn't need Donald Trump to be there with the crowd... just prop Joe up in a chair and let his flock of parrots jabberwock everything they can think of.

Should be amusing fun.🤔

This is the inevitable result of having a media that is an echo chamber rather than journalists and living in the DC bubble composed of bureaucrats and redistributionists rather than actual workers and wealth creators.

This runs along the lines of the NY Times article of something to the tune of "Do we really need a President?".

Tell me you want an Oligarchy without telling me you want an Oligarchy.

Shameless talking heads spouting ridiculous nonsense that live in an echo chamber or surrounded by yes-men with no dissent allowed on set.

This suggestion is so laughable that anyone would even propose this. And the reason, their candidate is for all intents and purposes just a meat-puppet that does the cabal's bidding. Anything for the tyrants to stay in power.

Why don't they just tape his mouth shut, shove their hand up his ass and do the talking for him.

Will there be Matt’s on the floor, you know in case anyone needs a nap.
How about a bathroom in case someone has to go.
Oh, can there be a kitchen, in case someone gets hungry.
Will need the wy-fy password, so no one gets bored while in the bathroom or needs to catch the latest movie on net-flix.
