MSNBC host Lawrence O’Donnell has called for allowing Joe Biden to have aides with him on stage to speak for him and help him sound coherent.
Yes, really. This is where we are now.
O’Donnell said that it would be good to “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.”
He added that “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,” he continued.
“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,” O’Donnell further suggested.
He continued, “A candidate should be allowed to let staff members actually answer questions for them.”

When he says ‘candidates’ he means Biden, because Trump clearly doesn’t need people talking for him. Only the mentally deficient, incoherent, bumbling Biden needs that.
What is this supposed to be? Show and tell at pre school?
It’s a debate between candidates who are expected to lead the country. They shouldn’t need people to help them talk.
It’s not a debate between the candidates if other people are doing the talking.
O’Donnell is only putting the ludicrous suggestion out because it is clear that Biden is not running anything. His aides are doing it all.
Indeed, an Axios report notes how literally everything Biden does is micromanaged and written down for him, down to where and when he walks and stands.
The report notes that “One template — a copy of which was obtained by Axios — is short and simple, with one large picture of the event space on each page, accompanied with big text such as: ‘View from podium,’ and ‘View from audience.’ In the five-page document, two pages are separate pictures of, ‘Walk to podium.'”
“Before a presidential event, the White House sends event staffers a document to emulate when preparing their own materials for the president,” the report further states.
One staffer told Axios that “It surprised me that a seasoned political pro like the president would need detailed verbal and visual instructions on how to enter and exit a room.”
This has been going on for years now:

Sorry, no.
The President of the United States doesn’t get to ‘phone a friend’ when dealing with foreign leaders.
I had a brief thought about the total pro-Biden debate setup and they might have used a studio audience that could have supported Joe, applauded and cheered when he slowed down and made mistakes to back him up. Silent studio made the drifting of his mind into forgetfulness and confusion seem worse. And his “you have the morals of an alley cat, why should I talk to you” sounded harsh but some laughter and cheers from a crowd of sycophants would have made it better.
Served the Dems right.
Donald Trump’s weakness is vanity. No studio audience so he did not feel a need to try to get their attention. As a result, he was much more disciplined.
including the aide on doody duty?
so which is it?
is he drunk or MTG?
Tag team debates? Who knew?

I love DEI. Based on that photographic evidence there appears to be just about every kind of freak known to mankind there. I think they could be stars in the Ringling Bros. Barnum & Bailey Circus.
Mud people mutts, not a single hot blond chick
Why have Biden show up at all? He’s not running anything anyway. Let the puppet masters speak.
That’s quite a telling and so truthful Picture. Two white men working while the others get face time for doing nothing. The other white guy is the part of the percentage that tries to be the go along get along type.
This is nuts…similar to a recent article I saw, “Do we really need a President?”, or something similar…
Funny you should post a picture of Joe sniffing on a female.
I was looking at a map and noticed that if Joe was Montana, he would be sniffing on Idaho.
You mean, like a lifeline?
I know Lawrence O’Donnell is an idiot, but how can he possibly think this would make Biden look BETTER?
O’Donnell isthe biggest clown in the media.
So we can see who is really in charge?
