***Official Joe Biden Campaign Thread (3 Viewers)

Watching him make the rounds on TV this week I still can't believe smart people think this guy gives Dems the best chance of winning in November. Guy was incoherent at times. Struggling to answer softball questions.

 
At this point I care almost nothing about the election. That will change in a few months I’m sure but right now to me the crisis demands full attention. 

I would like to see Biden meet with Trump and the two of them have a joint press conference urging a national shelter in place and anything else they can agree on with regard to this crisis. There is precedence for this sort of thing in a time of national emergency. I think it would be great for the public.

It would be great, but this is the dream of dreams. We couldn't even get the 2 sides together to pass an emergency bill without each side trying to make the other look bad or sneak in some partisan crap.

I remember one time maybe in 2018 when Schumer reached some agreement with Trump on some issue in the White House. Trump invited him to go outside and announce the deal but Schumer refused. He supported the deal of course, but he did not want to appear beside him if/when he said something outrageous, leading either to a silent endorsement if he said nothing or a risk of conflict and maybe a lost deal if he did. It’s virtually impossible to be normative with Trump.

Where's the precedence for a sitting president and a guy who isn't even his party's nominee as of yet?

You knew what Schumer was thinking, I guess.

 
Looks like he mixed up his talking points or they crossed him up with the planned question. Either way it’s incoherent babble.  There’s too many of these to ignore and when it happens in prime time he will be exposed. Good luck Joe.  
Joe should just skip all the debates.   This pandemic carries over into the fall, you or I could beat Trump.

I thought I saw Trump's approval rating was up?

/upspeak, unsure

eta* Yeah, 538 has his approval rating up about four points from Jan/Feb. It sits at an average of 45.8%. That's high for him. Though I take your point about the effects if the pandemic lasts through the fall.

But that is less "up" then most everyone else. Even congress has had a bigger rating increase... congress!  Yes, the United States congress.

How could ratings of anyone involved in this be going up? President Trump has really put a crimp in the dignity of the presidency. The Democrats in the House tried to stuff through permanent FMLA ####, if Biden was speaking correctly, into a stimulus package aimed at getting us through these crazy months.

Everything is politics, no crisis is going to waste. President Trump is talking now about the what we'll do -- that we'll take a course that may not be safe for people, presumably at the cross and sword of the economy. This is ####e.  

 
At this point I would vote for Harvey Weinstein over Trump. At least Weinstein was a competent executive. 
I swear you've got a pattern. Whenever the heat calms down and people start having agreeable discussions with you, it's time to say something to stir the pot.

This is right up there with Pam Keith.

Not that it matters right now but Biden is crushing Trump in polling.

 
I agree with his point that Trump is being petty, but how are any of these people suppose to pay for the insurance?
Since most that this applies to have income below the poverty level if they're out of work, wouldn't they be getting it almost for free?   I'm not sure of the degree of the obamacare subsidies.

Yea good point, I'm not sure how that works exactly... is it based on current income or prior year?  If its prior it would be a bad situation

Was actually editing my post when I saw you responded.  Come to think of it, losing your job should be a qualifying event to make you eligible for enrollment so I'm not sure who Biden sees as the intended audience for opening enrollment in general.    

 
Trump vs. Biden on coronavirus: The timeline is utterly damning

We’re now learning that President Trump’s efforts to promote an anti-malarial drug for use against the coronavirus is causing internal administration tensions. Anthony Fauci, the administration’s own leading expert, privately challenged this optimism about hydroxychloroquine, and fittingly, Trump prevented Fauci from publicly reiterating this skepticism at Sunday’s briefing.

Only hours earlier, Joe Biden presented a striking contrast. On ABC’s “This Week,” Biden called on Trump to exercise the Defense Production Act to marshal the private sector to speed lifesaving equipment to hospitals, urged stricter social distancing and reiterated the need to “follow the science” and “listen to the experts.”

It’s now clear that this stark contrast could define the 2020 campaign. Democrats are unveiling new ads highlighting Trump’s serial failures to take the coronavirus seriously. Meanwhile, the Trump campaign is urging surrogates to claim, laughably, that Trump is “leading the nation” in the “war against coronavirus,” and to cast the former vice president as “the opposition in that war.”

So let’s talk about who said what about coronavirus, and when they said it.

I’ve compiled a timeline that compares public statements by Biden and Trump throughout the early days of this crisis, when extraordinary levels of failure by Trump and his administration squandered crucial lost time whose consequences are only beginning to be felt.

What’s notable is that this contrast — Trump defying science and experts on one side, and Biden calling for a response shaped around science and expertise on the other — has been omnipresent throughout:

Trump, Jan. 22: The president tells CNBC that “we have it totally under control” and “it’s going to be just fine.”

Top Biden adviser, Jan. 22: Ron Klain, a Biden adviser who managed the 2014 Ebola response, co-writes a piece excoriating Trump for “brashly” dismissing coronavirus as “under control,” while calling for “expertise” to “guide critical decisions” and noting “reasons for great concern.”

Trump, Jan. 24: Trump praises and gives thanks to China for its efforts to contain the coronavirus, and adds: “It will all work out well.”

Biden, Jan. 27: Biden publishes an op-ed in USA Today hitting Trump for “shortsighted policies" that "have left us unprepared for a dangerous epidemic,” and warning that the coronavirus “will get worse before it gets better.”

Trump, Jan. 30: Trump says at a rally in Michigan: “We think we have it very well under control.”

Biden, Jan. 31: Biden tells reporters in Iowa that “science” must “lead the way,” adding: “We have, right now, a crisis with the coronavirus.”

Biden, Feb. 1: Biden tweets: “We are in the midst of a crisis with the coronavirus. We need to lead the way with science.”

Trump, Feb. 2: Trump goes on Sean Hannity’s show and claims: “We pretty much shut it down, coming in from China.” Trump extols our “tremendous relationship” with China, and adds: “We did shut it down, yes.”

Trump, Feb. 10: Trump claims that “a lot of people” think the coronavirus “goes away in April with the heat,” adding that we only have “11 cases,” and that “we’re in great shape.”

Biden, Feb. 11: Biden goes on “Morning Joe” and excoriates Trump for claiming the coronavirus will disappear in the warm weather, crossing himself while doing so, and adding: “You couldn’t make it up.”

Trump, Feb. 26: Trump claims the media is conspiring with Democrats to hype the coronavirus to rattle the markets. Trump also says the coronavirus is “going very substantially down, not up.”

Trump, Feb. 27: Trump hails his administration’s handling of the coronavirus, and while he does reveal a hint of uncertainty, he says: “It’s going to disappear. One day — it’s like a miracle — it will disappear.”

Trump, Feb. 28: Trump shouts at a rally in South Carolina that Democrats’ criticism of his response (which proved entirely accurate) is “their new hoax.”

Biden, Feb. 28: Biden goes on CNN and says Trump has yet to “gain control” of the coronavirus, while calling on Trump to stop downplaying it and urging him instead to “let the experts take this over” and “let the experts speak.”

Trump, March 9: Trump dismissively compares the coronavirus with flu, claiming flu kills tens of thousands annually and that “life & the economy go on.”

Trump, March 10: Trump again hails the “great job” he’s doing on the coronavirus, and declares: “It will go away. Just stay calm. It will go away.”

Biden, March 12: Biden gives a speech stressing the importance of presidential truth-telling amid crises, noting that Trump’s ongoing falsifications risk leaving Americans without reliable guidance, compounding “public fears.”

Trump, March 13: Asked about the administration’s epic failure to ramp up testing, Trump declares: “I don’t take responsibility at all.”

Biden, March 15: Biden responds to that Trump quote by reiterating his call for widespread free testing, and by declaring: “It is the job of the president to take responsibility — and his response is unacceptable.”

Trump, March 17: After all that, Trump preposterously proclaims: “I felt it was a pandemic long before it was called a pandemic.”

It’s worth stressing that all this public dismissiveness by Trump reflects a mind-set that has had horrifying and extensive real-world consequences.

As The Post’s weekend exposé revealed, it took 70 days from the time Trump initially learned of the coronavirus to the point at which he treated it as a serious threat to untold numbers of American lives. Trump’s instinct to minimize and lie about the coronavirus saturated his government’s response, to catastrophic effect:

In reality, many of the failures to stem the coronavirus outbreak in the United States were either a result of, or exacerbated by, his leadership.

For weeks, he had barely uttered a word about the crisis that didn’t downplay its severity or propagate demonstrably false information. He dismissed the warnings of intelligence officials and top public health officials in his administration.

Obviously one cannot know how successfully a President Biden would have managed this crisis. But it has become inescapably obvious that under a different president, things probably would look rather different right now.

One shudders to think how many lives that might have saved, and how many will now be lost.

This 1am Ambien and Rosé fueled rant is an indication of where the Dems are going as they wake up to the reality that Biden probably can't win (or even compete past 3pm): blaming the left for pointing out he's a dementia-addled perennial presidential loser.

I get that you hate Biden (I'm not a huge fan, either, to be honest), but for every complaint you seem to have about him, Trump is far, far worse.  Biden has gaffes?  Trump sounds less educated than an average second-grade kid.  Biden has questionable conduct related to female staffers?  Trump's conduct is worse AND he brags about it.

What's your end game or goal here?

According to what happened, yes.
Since your premise is the virus was spreading quick and fast at that time.  Good thing Joe got all those guys packed together eh?  

Two thirds of Michigan's coronavirus cases that has resulted in 727 deaths so far are in the 3 counties that surround the plant where Joe's spittle was coming out of his mouth when he got into an argument with those workers.  Up close and personal.
