Tough to watch: Another garbled Biden interview
McClatchy reporter: “struggled mightily at the top of his @msnbc interview where he looked to be reading from notes to answer a question”
As chatter rises about Joe Biden’s fitness, and Trump’s poll number’s keep rising as Biden has all but disappeared, Biden’s campaign is trying to book Biden in comfort-zone interviews, where he has at least of chance of staying on script.
And by staying on script, I mean literally staying on script, as in reading from notes during the interview.
Dave Canatnese of McClatchy points to this painful-to-watch MSNBC segment:
@JoeBiden struggled mightily at the top of his @msnbc interview where he looked to be reading from notes to answer a question.
“We have to depend on what the president’s going to do right now. And first of all he has to tell, wait til the cases…”
(Turn up the sound level to hear better)

As far as I am concerned at this point it is criminal elder abuse and his family should be arrested and charged for letting this continue.
Just think……..
Think about it a long time and very hard……
If the DEMS will do this to an obviously sick man…..
What do you think they’ll do to normal people if the steal control again……
“Doctor” Jill’s the CEO and CFO of this enterprise. Joe’s the gravy train that they’ve all ridden for years, getting rich on the corruption of Joe’s public trust. They’re not about to stop this train when they can all see the Big Rock Candy Mountain in the near distance.
Haha ” Big Rock Candy Mountain” has it exactly right. I don’t remember all the words but “lemonade springs” is what Dr. Jill has been longing for. All the Bidens are good Americans why not cash in?
If recent examples are worth anything being close family with a Democrat ex president likely means hundreds of millions of dollars so they will do anything to keep the old fool in the race.
The Clintons mastered the art of the shakedown and the Obamas are right on their heels.
If Biden were dragged into court about his dealings with Barisma, would a court appointed physician find him fit to testify?
I don’t know what a court-appointed physician would say about his fitness to testify, but I think that a ringside physician for a boxing match would stop the fight.
That is a pro follow-up joke.
More like abusing the electorate by pretending this husk of a man could handle the job (or any job). I don’t think he could ring up a cash register
He can’t even handle a 5 minute interview. His handlers and high level supporters are insulting us, treating us like idiots by putting this misery out there.
The dems have no candidate with the electability to beat DJT. Their whole slew of contenders were unelectable clowns. Biden is all they got.
He sure as hell can’t code.
He’s good for returning a ‘null’ value, man. 😉
“His handlers and high level supporters are insulting us, treating us like idiots by putting this misery out there.”
Are YOU an idiot? No? Well, then, this really isn’t very hard to figure out:
This isn’t a show being put on for conservatives, it’s being put on for liberals. If liberals want to treat liberals like idiots, I applaud the effort.
poor thing goes from sad to verse-less…
the lyin sack o potatoes from day one is finally done…
I don’t find it difficult to watch. He can stop running any time he wants. I do have to wonder if his handlers and DOCTOR Jill think this isn’t obvious to the public.
Biden is just a placeholder. At the convention (which will be held entirely by phone), he’ll have a sudden illness and be quietly shuffled off stage so the real nominee can come in to ‘save’ the party.
My money is on Hillary.
Can you imagine, even in his diminished state, that when (not IF) the Fascisto-crat DNC elevates Hillary to the VEEP, that Biden would EVER turn his back on her? With her track record of Arkancides, he’s be a fool…
Joe doesn’t have to worry about Hillary as she understands that Joe can’t remember a damn thing.
Wow. Reading from a script. That’s worse than Brazile giving him the questions beforehand.
It appears someone must have written it for him and he didn’t read it ahead of time because he clearly couldn’t process the words in real time so he tried to do what he always does and revert to ad libbing it but his brain is unable to accomplish that task so he turns into a puddle.
A bite me lackey should write a list of questions on a sheet of paper and then submit the list to the interviewer. But instead of interviewer memorizing questions and bite me the answers – the interviewer should memory the answers and bite me the questions.
Bite me could prob spit out maybe 5 questions and rapper, f Chuck, Fredo, stephie, madcow etc could answer questions with long spiel. Bite me could agree and say that was exactly what he was ready to say and msm could report he bite me is even smarter than ever
This guy is lost. He doesn’t know what planet he’s on. If this weren’t so serious, I’d feel sorry for him.
He’s at least half a sandwich shy of a picnic lunch.
Quarter-bubble out of plumb.
Mind-readers give him a 50% discount.
SSSSSHHHHHHHH…….don’t scare Biden away.
I do not know election law, and am asking some serious questions.
If Biden drops out/is forced out before the Demo Convention (if they don’t cancel the Demo convention due to the panic over the Wuhan virus) and if Bernie has not dropped out, how much harder will Bernie’s still being a candidate make it for the DNC to select a Hillary or another establishment Demo to be the Demo candidate?
If Biden survives to the Convention and is anointed the Demo candidate, and he then drops out because his dementia becomes too obvious, what happens then? Does the DNC get to select a new candidate? Does the VP candidate become the presidential candidate? Or does the DNC hold a second Demo convention to select a new candidate?
Has this come up before? Any poly-sci majors know the answers?
Not hard at all because Sanders isn’t even running as a democrat this time around so the
central committeeDNC leadership wouldn’t have any qualms or problems anointing whomever they wish as 2020 presidential candidate.The Central Committee leadership will simply select another candidate from those they feel are qualified and run with that person as the 2020 presidential nominee.
I replied to your question in the other thread you posted it. Lucifer Morningstar has it down, but I’ll copy/paste my answer:
All these have been answered before, here I believe.
If Biden drops dead or drops out before the convention, the Democrat Party is a private organization- they can nominate whoever they want. If Bernie doesn’t already have a majority of the delegates, it isn’t going to be him. It will be wheeling and dealing amongst the party heavies.
If he drops – or is forced- out after the convention, the DNC selects the new candidate. They have a deadline- before the state deadlines for finalizing the ballots. If they do it after the deadline, and use the courts to force states to do the change, they run into another problem. If voting by mail has already started- those votes HAVE TO BE COUNTED FOR BIDEN!. They’ll be screwed. There’s no way any court can allow then to be counted for someone else. The perils of early voting.
The other big questions is- what happens if for some ungodly reason he actually wins in November, and drops dead after the electoral college meets before the votes are counted…. Dead men aren’t eligible to become POTUS. The election gets thrown to the House. If he drops dead before the electoral college meets then the DNC is going to have to persuade a majority of electors to vote for the same person. If they don’t- the election gets thrown to the House.
Recall 1972 when Lawrence Eagleton was forced off the Democratic ticket (McGovern’s VP running mate), McGovern selected a new running mate (Sargent Shriver) which was ratified by the DNC.
If Biden had to leave the ticket after the convention and before the election, legally the DNC could bring in whoever they want. I suspect what would happen — politically — is that his VP running mate would be asked by the DNC to lead the ticket. That person would then select a running mate, again with the approval of the DNC. I can’t see another way that wouldn’t be a total sh!t-show and disaster for the Democrats.
The other scenarios for a pre-convention replacement, or after-election-pre-electoral college replacement, are described above.
Have Joe’s eyes always been so small? I don’t remember them being so beady. And he really shouldn’t touch his face — that sets a bad example during this time of the coronavirus.
Short Eyes…
Democrap convention is going to be interesting.
Are they really going to nominate this guy?
His mental decline seems so obvious and significant versus a year or two ago, I go with the following scenario. The coronavirus is judged by those in control to be too dangerous to hold further primaries and they will go to a physical or video convention based on the votes now and the situation at the time, knowing full well that means no automatic first ballot win. The super-delegates then pick someone else.
I’m going with a dark horse ..Andrew Cuomo. He’s already left of left and the elites love, love him.
If he’s got the delegates, he’s got the delegates. And he’ll probably have them on the first round as it stands now.
Who’s going to step in and tell Dr. Jill & Symone Sanders that “They’re going another direction”? The DNC, Obama, Hillary, Cuomo?
The left’s stuck with their candidate and judging by the lack of professionalism (Hillary would have had Speilberg in there producing her “fireside chats”) they’re not going to sink much $$$ into his campaign.
I think they’re just going to let Quid get steamrolled and save Cuomo & Newsome for 2024. Pelosi’s still pushing the pork though for The Party and will do so through 2024.
At this point I honestly don’t see how Joe makes it to the convention, much less the election.
Sen. Sanders may talk about his respect for Joe Biden, and the mutual regard that they have from their days together in the Senate, but he still wants to debate Biden in April.
…and this is exactly why.
This reminds me of a movie that I recently saw: Ecsape from Wu York. The movie’s catchphrase: “Joe Biden? I thought you were dead.”
