Is Biden On Vacation? Trump Just Handed Him A Baseball Bat To Beat Him Up With

[DanieRains]

I am sorry. Hillary went easy on Trump. How did that work out?

Biden needs to hold a press conference RIGHT NOW and demand Trump is examined for being insane.

Let Trump insult him. He is gonna get insulted by Trump any way.

What would be great would be "dry humor" saying something, true, that is so profound it is funny, but true. Give smart people something to smile about.

Biden should also tell America not to drink household cleaners regardless what Trump says. Everyone knows Trump is bonkers.

Time to get busy Joe.

We are counting on you. It's not like you can count on the press doing it for you.

Have your press conference 1/2 hour before the daily Trump Show.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

1. Maybe

but I think that most everybody is all over this anyway. Everybody is aghast, flummoxed, thinks Trump is crazy. Biden no doubt thinks Trump is crazy but I don't know that you're going to see a Presidential candidate publicly call for mental health evaluation of another.

[DanieRains]

3. Just Like There Was No Way Trump Could Be Elected

The rules are out the window.

Here is your bat. Use it.

If Biden doesn't bully Trump he might lose.

Biden has to be the bully on this playground.

The fate of the entire planet rides in the balance.

[lunatica]

30. Biden May believe in not getting in the way of the enemy destroying himself

Trump is destroying himself. You can see it plain as day in his falling approval rate. Nothing would raise Trump’s approval rating more or faster than seeing him retaliate against a “Democrat” opponent.

And there is no outTrumping Trump at his own game. Not only his base would roar back to higher numbers. The Republicans would love to jump in the bloody fray too, if only to protect their future. Trump is their golden egg laying goose.

[Hortensis]

33. This. And this:

[TheBlackAdder]

23. Trump would like a fight with Biden to solidify his base--as he's now under attack.

.


If Biden just lets his presence known, but does not allow Trump to redirect attention... all eyes are on Trump and his COVID failures.


I think Biden, Obama and HRC are doing the right thing, by leaving Trump out flapping in the breeze.

.

[Aristus]

2. Joe Biden is doing the right thing by giving Trump enough rope.

He can't pounce on every single thing Trump says. He'd never be able to get a word in edgewise.

The last thing we need right now is Biden-fatigue. There will be plenty of time for pouncing at the debates.

Biden handed Paul Ryan's ass to him in the 2012 VP debates. It's going to be some good TV. I'd watch...

[DanieRains]

11. I Kindly Disagree

Ridicule him.

And warn Americans.

All Hillary had to do was announce she wanted to hold a campaign rally. She was gonna invite all the contractors Trump screwed in his lifetime but she couldn't find a stadium big enough. If she said this she would have won. You have to stand up to the bully.

[zonkers]

15. Wrong. You are over thinking this. Not the time to be careful. When someone gives you an opening

like this you take it. There is no blanket strategy. It is a la carte. Look how responsibve Cuomo is.

[tazkcmo]

4. After every Shit Show

I have felt for a while now that Biden should be on TV for at least 15 minutes responding to the Shit be Show but I think yesterday's show it's probably best left flopping conspicuously in the street for all to see. Sometimes it's better just to give these idiots a microphone and let them speak. But overall yeah, I'd like to see Biden on TV following every one of these conferences.

[earthside]

5. Don't get in the way of a train wreck.

Let the ridicule stay on President TidePod ... Biden doesn't need to provide him with the kind of diversion he prefers.

[Solomon]

29. Agreed. Never interrupt your opponent when he's fucking up.

Stay low, Joe.

[underpants]

6. Joe really doesn't need to do anything right now

Trump already got a bigger shovel and more rope.

[ismnotwasm]

9. Yup

Let Trump do most of the work

[treestar]

42. And plenty of surrogates

can talk about the Dotard's incompetence and insanity.

[IcyPeas]

7. biden did tweet this:

(sorry, it's a tweet)

Joe Biden @JoeBiden

UV light? Injecting disinfectant?

Here’s an idea, Mr. President: more tests. Now. And protective equipment for actual medical professionals.

[lagomorph777]

21. That's OK but he has to get his face on TV

Most people don't read posts on Twit.

[Hekate]

35. Is "TV" gonna give him 2 free hours a day, like Trump?

[lagomorph777]

37. How about 2 free minutes?

Not too much to ask.

But they call it "earned media" for a reason. He has to provide the kind of gut-punch content that TV producers crave. Joe can do that when he wants to.

[ZenDem]

8. It's unnecessary.

We don't need Biden to jump up and down throwing mud on some nitwit that's already covered himself in shit.

Let Biden be the sane adult in the room. If he does say anything, let it be logical and based on real medical information. A calming force in a shitstorm.

[RandySF]

10. Trump is doing his job for him.

[still_one]

12. He doesn't need to do anything to do on this, trump is hanging himself. However, it would be

a good idea for Biden to setup regular press conferences

[underpants]

17. Visibility yes. I agree with that.

[DanieRains]

13. I Understand The Rope Thing But This Is Campaign Gold

Melt it into bars.

[underpants]

18. Gold doesn't rust

It will be more effective reminding people of it in a few months.

[treestar]

39. Biden shouldn't look like he's trying to

get attention. So it does not have to be used right now. It can be used in ads. Biden can mention it later. It's only April, so I think the posters saying we don't want Biden fatigue are probably closer to realistic. I'd be pretty sure the campaign is strategizing and deciding only to react so much.

[zonkers]

16. Calling Joe Biden. Come in Joe Biden. Dont you do anything in real time. Dont you learn anything

from Gov. Cuomo.

[Boomerproud]

19. It's extremely discouraging.

[treestar]

41. Cuomo isn't doing it

as part of a campaign.

[HarlanPepper]

20. Ahh here come the "Biden needs to..." posts.

[treestar]

25. As in every election

The campaign advisors of DU that the candidate forgot to hire.

[stopdiggin]

26. kinda' exactly what I was thinking.

so many experts .. so little time ...

[HarlanPepper]

32. Bahahaha

I like the way you put it better.

[doc03]

22. Trump is doing a pretty good job on himself. nt

[clutterbox1830]

24. I kind of wish that he give his media campaign to Bloomberg's group

If they were in charge, we would already been seeing a number of videos and commercials about it by now.

Hammer your opponent buffoonery at every opportunity.
If you don't, the media will let you off the hook, especially for Republicans.

[stillcool]

27. Why not accept the gift you're given?

anything that Biden did now, would take away from the clusterf*ck performance Trump gives on a daily basis. The tit for tat politics, all for the sake of a show, is pure entertainment. It will make no difference in what might happen 7 mos. from now.

[Hortensis]

36. Good message. It IS an enormous gift that always gives.

Of course we all "gotta be me" and react to anxiety in our different ways. Some get going. Some get complaining.

[stillcool]

40. yeah..I'm a prickly today

got to reel it in. Thanks

[stopdiggin]

28. every thinking person shriveled and died a little inside ..

and any that didn't .. will not be influenced an iota by by anything Biden says or does.

(I think I'm going to let Joe Biden run his campaign)

[irisblue]

31. Apparently not, check the time on this tweet

[JI7]

34. One of the few times that people ARE going after Trump on this

what benefit does it do to make it seem more like an electoral politics thing ?

[Drunken Irishman]

38. Biden has been on TV all week.

It sucks but we're in a different environment right now. He's been on TV this week, and last week. He's held townhalls and Q&As but he can't do rallies and if he does stream, the networks aren't obligated to show it.
