Biden allies float scaling back events to limit gaffes

Allies to Joe Biden have been floating the idea of altering [reducing] the former vice president's schedule in an effort to reduce the gaffes he has made in recent days.

Biden has a tendency to make the blunders late in the day, his allies say, particularly after a long swing on the road, like he had last week in Iowa. They say something needs to be done to give the candidate more down time [naps for the old guy] as the campaign intensifies in the fall.

"He needs to be a strong force on the campaign trail, but he also has to pace himself,"

“just like Hillary. Neither have physical health for a campaign.”

Another thing they have in common is that neither of them has had ONE accomplishment during their tenures in politics. Not one. I saw a Jesse Watters man-on-the-street interview when they were interviewing Biden supporters. When asked to give an accomplishment of Biden’s ... mouths dropped open, and then crickets.

rather than continuous verbal stumbles)...

And actual physical ones.

Reminds me SNL’s “Quien Es Mas Macho?”

Other than pulling Biden from public view, I can think of only two solutions: lots of practice and a ketogenic diet.

Some, though not all, brains sharpen up considerable when running on ketones.

It works in my case. I cannot think clearly with carbs (i.e. sugar) floating around in my blood.

Ha! Stolen!

He’s not the same guy who wiped the floor with the Bishop’s little running mate in 2012, that’s for sure. He’s allowed himself to be bullied by the “women of color” driving the clown car for The Rats - Horizontal Harris and Fauxahontas. He can’t keep his hands off little kids. He thinks he was vice president in 2018. His fingerprints are all over the Ukraine Affair and he took a bribe for his son’s cocaine and hooker habit from the Red Chinese and Broncobama won’t even endorse his candidacy for president (Thanks, pally)

My prediction is he drops out by Halloween

[SaxxonWoods]

Hey, look at how that worked out for Hillary.

[SaveFerris]

Hillary tried to fake it, but couldn't pull off the involuntary spasm that freaked out the reporters. Nice try Hillary, but not even close. Not by a long shot. Don't know if it's neurological damage or what.

[Buttons12]

If you’re not up to the race, you’re definitely not up to the prize.

“My prediction is he drops out by Halloween”

He’ll probably fake his own death, just to save face in some odd way. Three strikes. Must be embarrassing. I don’t even think he wanted to be in this race and that financiers thought he had a chance and talked him into it. “Ya gotta wanna”, and he doesn’t wanna, from what I see.

[ My prediction is he drops out by Halloween ]

My prediction is Joe Biden goes as Scout on Halloween and gets lots and lots of candy.

Meanwhile the contrast:

Our great and wonderful president Donald J Trump continues to just go out and fill stadiums to capacity and speak off-the-cuff eloquently with style with no Teleprompter for about an hour and then stick around and take pictures with everybody

There is simply no other human being on planet earth like our great and wonderful president Donald J Trump

There is no one else on the planet who has the oratory skill the businessman skill and the love for America that this man clearly has

And more than that it’s very clear that he loves and cares about people - all kinds of people - all races

So let’s count our blessings - we are living in a very special era - and we’re only going to have this great guy for another five years at most!

Just for a minute try to imagine America under Jeb bush or Ted Cruz has a contrast

[Cobra64]

Yup. Imagine Slow Joe with Putin.

[Pollster1]

Joe Biden, the best candidate the democrats can field, can’t handle a work day as long as mine - and I’m retired. That’s just sad.

[gcparent]

Trump has boundless energy. No disgrace in
Getting old. Biden acts old forgetful. Sanders would be 79 when he took office. Doesnt work.

[CincyRichieRich]

Come on, Mooshelle, get in the race and get it over with already. See if you can hide that little lumpy thing in your pants.

[nikos1121]

Why not set up his appearances with a 15 second tape delay, so as to erase the gaffs before they’re recorded.

[ReleaseTheHounds]

Does this mean that as President, he will limit his work day to avoid any gaffes? Yeah, that will work... /s

What’s the difference between a gaffe by a (D) and a gaffe by an (R)?
