addressed to the nation?
I don't know.
I think it would have been nice to hear one unifying voice tonight (NOT trump).
Should Biden address the nation on nights like this or should he just let trump's silence/incompetence speak for itself?

Kill several birds with one stone.
Console the nation, campaign subtlety with a message that resonates with the voters, piss off Trump on how a REAL president behaves until he takes to Twitter and throws another of his twantwums.
Live rent-free in Trump's head.

(32,701 posts)3. I agree! Only thing is, would the networks run it?
I think they would. Everyone is desperate for a compassionate leader right now.

But, he just opens himself to undue criticism tonight.
Now, comments later are OK.
