    Wow this just keeps getting worse and worse. Can anyone figure this out

    ""We're ... in the middle of a pandemic that has cost us more than 85,000 jobs as of today. Lives of millions of people. Millions of people. Millions of jobs. You know, and we're in a position where, you know we just got new unemployment insurance, this morning, uh, numbers — 36.5 million claims since this crisis began."
    https://disrn.com/news/biden-strugg...ual-round-table-as-gaffes-continue-to-pile-up

    We've only lost 85,000 jobs? Millions of people have died? But 36.6 million claims against losing 85,000 jobs.

    And you want to put him in charge, the buck stops with him, he makes the final decisions and leads up through a recovery? REALLY

    No one expects Biden to lead anything. He's the perfect figurehead (read: puppet) for the globalist bureaucratic establishment to regain control over America.

    In theory, of course. In reality, he won't make it through the debates. The first one will be such an embarrassment for the DNC that they'll break any/all of their own rules to replace him asap.

    I understand this is all new ground "virtual campaigning" but streaming stuff and live events on the internet are NOT new. These things look like they are produced using 1990's equipment and technology. There are some local muscians here doing FAR better "live shows" out of their homes. It's not like Biden doesn't have any campaign money Tobias to at least get some decent equipment and people to operate it. And then of course Biden himself and his total gaffes as above.

    Biden's family should stop this charade. He could have exited politics gracefully as a former VP but now he's going to get put through the wringer in a highly embarrassing and personally damaging campaign and inevitably lose to Trump. He can't get through a 15 min streaming event from his own home. How's he going to do on a national stage when he's bumbling around with his words and openly hostile because he's flustered.

    Biden is a very flawed candidate and if the coronavirus hadn't happened and the economy remained decent, I believe Trump would have most likely won or at the very least it would have been a close election. I do think Biden's age is obviously affecting him, and the democrats should have elected Buttigieg instead.

    It would be close if the election was held today. We have a lot of unemployment, but people still believe things will start getting better in a month or two. The amount of economic trouble we are in hasn't really sunk in and so people don't have big feelings about the government's response yet. But once people are losing their homes, can't find work for half a year, and can't pay their bills, things will get ugly. We also have a second wave of this virus coming in the fall and a vaccine probably won't be available for another year.

    :|´ ~ As some said when Trump became president : " Other countries are laughing at us... " I am guessing that one of those countries laughing now is Russia.
    There is nobody like Ol´ Joe when it comes to quoting statistics. :rip:

    My dad will turn 95 this coming July. His short term memory is failing. He can’t remember 30 minutes ago and I don’t think it’s F’n funny at all, at all , AT ALL!
    Biden is showing the same symptoms as my dad and I think it is cruel as hell to put this old guy up on stage and make a mockery of him. I don’t like Biden and I’m pretty hard right, but this just sad. You can tell when short term memory is failing when the stories being told are from their youth. Even though creepy, the story about corn pop, or the kids rubbing his hairy legs at the pool, are being told because that is what is easy to remember. I think the DNC should show some class and compassion and let him wander out to the pasture.

    Things aren't going back to normal. In places that opened up, economic activity is nowhere near where they were because the virus is still spreading strong. There are a lot of businesses that are gone for good and the jobs aren't coming back. And millions of people are behind on their mortgage and rent. We also have a second wave coming in the fall that will probably result in another shutdown.

    Nope cannot happen no matter what, we have to get the ball moving. Yes the ecomomy and peoples livelihoods and their freedoms are as important as public health.
    It may sound cold and crass, but it is also true. The only reason Democrats want more shut down is to hurt Trumps chances in November.

    If your afraid of getting sick, your recourse is to stay home, you have no rights towards restricting the actions of everyone else.

    And it will only get worse the more he is pressed and he will at some point have to face the "we're not in bed with you Joe" media.

    True.

    In a Best scenario:

    Any "Return to Normalcy" WON'T happen until (at least) 2022 and 25% of those jobs are gone forever.

    In economic terms, it will take at least a decade to dig out from this.

    Good luck with that.

    Biden WILL beat Trump.

    And, America is so ready to get rid of the Trump Trainwreck that people don't care if Biden is Weekend at Bernie's.

    "I'm Not Trump" is ENOUGH to get Biden elected.

    Those who claim to care about gaffs but still plan on voting for either candidate don't actually care about gaffs.

    I can wait for them to count the votes.

    But, yeah, I Have Biden WINNING.

    B/c, I can't imagine what America would be like during a 2nd Trump Term.

    Trump has already done Irreversible Damage to America (and the institution of the Presidency).

    If Trump was to win another term, I would have a lot more to worry about than some anonymous person at an internet forum ragging me for bad predictions.

    America (simply stated) can't survive another 4 years of Trump.

    There still may be a chance that some of the damage that Trump has done may be reversible.

    After 4 more years, that damage will be Irreversible.

    I guess we'll have to agree to disagree, and I will meet you here on Nov. 4th to talk about the results.

    Biden will lose worse than Hillary did, that is if he doesn't go down in flames during the debates and actually makes it to the end. He generates ZERO enthusiasm. Its mid May and they are still hiding him in the basement. He's the weakest democratic candidate for President since Dukakis - and everyone knows it. Everyone - yes - even you.

    Here you have a candidate who is in self isolation, if you believe that, who has all the time in the world to take notes and have them in front of him to read like Schumer. It is well known that Biden is intellectually lazy. His greatest pitfall is that he loves to run his mouth just to be heard. It is a trait of those who suffer from no self worth. It is one reason they cheat in college and plagiarize other peoples speeches. It doesn't matter to me because Joe gave me permission to vote for Trump. “I think they should vote their heart. And if they believe Tara Reade, they probably shouldn't vote for me. I wouldn't vote for me if I believed Tara Reade,” Biden said in an MSNBC interview Thursday night. I guess Biden's voting for Trump too?

    BIDEN WOWS Fake News Media!

    It is far too early for Democrats to panic over Biden.

    —Karen Tumulty, Washington Post, Friday.

    Biden’s Virtual Campaign Is a Disaster.

    —Andrew Ferguson, the Atlantic, Friday.

    Biden campaign doesn’t consider Latinos ‘part of their path to victory,’ political operatives say.

    —Kathryn Krawczyk, the Week, Thursday.

    The above headlines are a far cry from the hagiographic prose that Obama and Hillary were receiving about this time in the election cycle.
