https://www.mediaite.com/news/watch-msnbcs-chuck-todd-asks-if-joe-biden-is-taking-covid-too-seriously/

MSNBC anchor Chuck Todd tried to demonstrate that there are very fine questions on both sides when he asked whether former Vice President Joe Biden is hurting himself politically by taking the coronavirus pandemic “too seriously.”

till the virus is completely gone. That's not our stance. We just think we should shut down when the infection gets out of hand (like what France and Germany is doing right now). But once it's low, we can reopen while keeping control on the virus.

I’ve only had the TV on while working from home since September. During most of the shutdown I just didn’t turn it on. Chuck’s show is slow and boring. He has almost no energy or screen presence to him. CNN is much better in the mid day.

for MSNBS, just doing the job and trying to protecting
his own little marginal piece of his repuke membership.

Like he will be able to trade it in for "favors" when the
world collapses around him.

A quarter million dead, but let's not get too serious about that. I wonder when chucktodd thinks we should get serious? Half a million dead? A million? Someone close to him? He'll get serious then, boy!

Just because you service Trump and the Republicans doesn't mean they are going to invite you to their parties or you let you in to their exclusive clubs, unless it is to give you the "9th Green at 9" treatment.

Is by taking it very seriously.

The time for that, alas, is already passed. Biden won't be able to herd the cats come January; no one can. America has Adult-Onset Oppositional Defiance Disorder.

AOODD. I just made that up.
