Here is Shotgun Joe, bragging about his response to a "similar crisis" Obviously, he is referring to the Obama response to the H1N1 Swine Flu, in which they did nothing for 6 months, and they did not quarantined citizens, close down schools, etc.

“I would tell him what we went through a similar crisis, you have to move swiftly. We have to move more rapidly. You have to implement the Defense Production Act, empower a supply commander, create, you know, a Defense Production Act for banks for small business loans, you got to faster than slower, and we started off awfully slow.”

Can't make this shit up

20,000 votes cast in the state ... Dang, voter apathy strikes again ...

Woodsman - I bet Biden was sweating that one - a close call against someone that EVERYONE knew was no longer in the race!

Imagine if he was running against Former Baltimore mayor Catherine Pugh, felony and all ... she'd likely win the Baltimore vote.

The President has been nicer in his references to Biden lately. Although he did slip the other day and refer to B. as "Sleepy Joe". Pres.DJT likes the way it rolls off the tongue.

Biden: The Democrats' Eggs All in One Basket Case

Not all that much time has passed since Super Tuesday. But in the midst of this tumultuous short period, the pendulum of Joe Biden's personal political strength has swung from inevitable to irrelevant. Demonstrating what Robert Gates branded as Sleepy Joe's consistent pattern of being on the wrong side of political decisions, the isolated presumptive Democrat candidate could do little but lash out at Trump's handling of the COVID-19 pandemic.

He began by calling Trump a "xenophobe" for banning flights from China to the U.S. He continued whenever possible to blame the president for being unprepared, uninformed, dictatorial, incompetent, unresponsive, overly optimistic, and dangerously political. Despite Biden's frontrunner status, none of his brief media appearances attracted wide viewership. I mean, who wants to watch a political figure fizzle and fail? In one unfortunate try to demonstrate his competence to manage the coronavirus pandemic, Biden was immediately stymied by an unresponsive teleprompter. And while his hand made urgent signals to the tech support team, his mouth was unable to utter a cogent word.

Last week, however, Bernie Sanders was not at a loss for words as he suspended his latest presidential run. As a gesture of solidarity, the disappointed senator urged his supporters to vote for Biden. In the race to control the Democrat Party, it seems to be, as Yogi Berra redundantly put it, "déjà vu all over again."

Well, maybe not! With Biden all but eclipsed by coverage of COVID-19, there's an outside chance that something totally unexpected could rip open the coming election just as it has our apolitical life. Perhaps the term "presumptive candidate" now takes on a less certain meaning. Consider, for example, that a recent Rasmussen poll showed Andrew Cuomo and Joe Biden in a tie to challenge Trump in November.

It could be argued that the press is aiding and abetting Joe by NOT putting him in front of a camera or microphone.

no way he makes it to the general election as the nominee

he has lost his marbles

so the question is-- who do the Dems go with instead of Biden

they will withdraw him for 'medical reasons' soon

the COVID situation has provided cover -- but his debilitated condition will get worse and impossible to hide over the next couple months

and we still months to go to the election with scrutiny increasing along the way...

----------------------------------

Not making a prediction of the sort that have been seen to be so spectacularly wrong so often here, but I would not be the least surprised if Biden drops out, and possibly very close to the election. Normally that would be a killer for whomever replaced him, but if played right in conjunction with some sort of, “Oh, he strived mightily but just can’t go on,” claim, it could get the replacement significant spillover sympathy votes from the low-wattage crowd. Stepping in at the last minute would also not be as much of a handicap for any of the previous candidates who are already well known to the electorate.

Query: Does anyone know what the formal mechanism for replacing him as a candidate would be? 'Cause I don't think the DNC would be happy to simply give it to Bernie.

I don't know the formal mechanism, but I am sure the DNC will not give it to Bernie. Rather, they will wait until after the convention and the DNC Biden has chosen his running mate. Give the VP-candidate a chance to get established in the campaign, and then Biden withdraws and VP moves into the front spot. Regardless of what the rules are, this is what I believe they will do, and the DNC will find a way to "make it legitimate."

Not that Dems care about laws, but several states have laws barring any change in names on the ballot within X number of weeks of an election. Remember when NJ Dems decided Toricelli wasn't going to win, so they called Lautenberg out of retirement? It was clearly illegal and the NJ State Supreme Court allowed it. Ditto for Mel Carnahan's widow taking over his spot on the ballot in 2000, though he died in a plane crash, so it wasn't really shenanigans. Still, that's how John Ashcroft was available to become AG.

So I'm wondering how the Dems get around swing states with laws on the books barring a change of the ballot so close to election day. We all know Trump isn't going to concede any of those states short of a legitimate and overwhelming win by the Dems.

Biden is what happens when all of candidates are lunatics.

Certain folks are floating Michigan's governor as a running mate.

Sleepy Joe & Gretchen Knows Best ... Fun Fun

Give joe a woman vp so he can get some hands on training.

They'll have to carry joe out in a box, he's not going to give it up for the team.

You know, there's a uh, during World War II, uh, you know,
where Roosevelt came up with a thing uh, that uh, you know,
was totally different than a, than the, the, it's called,
he called it the, you know, the World War II,
he had the war the War Production Board.

Joe Biden:

I believe, because, sort of, the blinders have been taken off, because of this COVID crisis, I think people are realizing, “My Lord. Look at what is possible. Look at the institutional changes we can make – without us becoming a ‘socialist country,’ or any of that malarkey – that we can make to provide the opportunities to change the institutional drawbacks …” from education, all the way through to all the other things we talked about.

And if I sound like I’m excited, I am, because I really think, think about this, the United States – I am a student of history – the United States is one of the few countries in the world, whatever crisis they’re faced with, we’ve overcome it. And we’ve always come out stronger, better.

We have a chance to really move the ball forward in the next three or four years. But it’s going to take you all being engaged, and us, you having, and all the younger people in your areas, having the opportunity to participate.

Last month, House Majority Whip Rep. James Clyburn (D-SC) reportedly told Democrats on a conference call that the coronavirus stimulus package is a “tremendous opportunity to restructure things to fit our vision.”
