Joe Biden is the perfect candidate to go against Trump. He is well known and thus can’t be branded as a radical of any sort. He is a white male and is relatable to Trump’s strongest supporters. He is very experienced and cannot be branded as someone who has to learn on the job. Additionally, he is in Trump’s age group and certainly can’t be said to be too old for the job. Donald and his minions worst nightmare.

We need to see Joe every day. Its been smart to let Trump shoot himself in the foot, but I think he’s missing a huge opportunity for free media.

I think every morning, after Trump does his toilet seat tweet during Fox and Friends, Joe should reply immediately. So when Trump tweets ALL SCHOOLS MUST OPEN, Joe should reply, “It would be easy to open schools if we had the low infection rates like Europe has. But we have skyrocketing cases because Trump ignored our great experts and opened the economy too early. Trump’s listens to his gut, Americans suffer and that makes him unfit for the office.”

When Trump tweets a lie, Joe could reply with facts, and a link to a reputable source.

Boom. Its out there and the media will give it equal coverage to Trump’s tweet. And that would drive Dumb Donnie nuts.

Trumper at work says that if Biden is elected, gas will be $20 a gallon with “the swipe of Biden’s pen.”

So, there’s that.

As long as the market numbers stay up monster thinks it has a chance to be re-elected. That’s why they had the insane push to reopen in the middle of a growing pandemic. And now the U.S. has a couple hundred thousand deaths to show for it. If monster had decided to wait until October to reopen, then the resulting bodies would have started piling up after the election and the strategy might have worked. Opening schools too soon is the same gambit, but again the timing is bad. Bottom line: Monster is not going to do anything about the pandemic except make it worse. A million or so deaths is no big thing to it.

Listened to the speech. Joe was strong and in great form. Also, all the networks covered it, so I guess TPM had to. I hope they didn’t have to bump something KAC said.

Thank you.

I could write a book about all the stupid shit he says, or you could cut out the middle man and watch FOX News.

Biden is also steadily picking up those voters who were supporting Warren, Sanders Buttegeig, et al. They seem to be putting their purity stances behind them understanding there’s no time for them, we only have a little time left, you should forgive the expression, to make America what she once was.

You don’t expect any kind of consistency from Trump voters, do you? Have you not seen attacks on Biden’s age and mental acuity despite the fact that Biden is clearly qualified for the job intellectually while their candidate is some kind of demented toddler?

Go, Joe, go. Bidens steady sanity is like holy water splashing in the face of the orange Trumpire.
