Biden plans shadow coronavirus briefings
Politico ^ | 3/20/20 | Marc Caputo

Joe Biden is planning a regular shadow briefing on coronavirus to start as early as Monday to show how he would handle the crisis and address what he calls the lies and failures of President Trump.

Biden gave a preview of what’s to come in a conference call with reporters Friday, where he listed a litany of false and misleading statements from Trump, who has been holding regular White House press conferences concerning coronavirus preparedness and response that have been broadcast live on all major networks.

“President Trump stop saying false things, will ya?” Biden said. “People are worried they are really frightened, when these things don't come through. He just exacerbates their concern. Stop saying false things you think make you sound like a hero and start putting the full weight of the federal government behind finding fast, safe and effective treatments.”

Biden made his comments from his home in Wilmington, Delaware, where he has been holed up for more than a week in adherence with Centers for Disease Control guidelines that urge people to practice social distancing.

I can’t wait to hear what comes mumbling, bumbling, tumbling out of his mouth on that one.

If they expect him to remember any of that they'll have to shield him from electrostatic discharge.

So true. Tuesday’s election seems a year ago. It doesn’t take long to forget about Joe. If they were televised this might work, but phone call conferences with the press? Ha. Now if he were smart, he’d get with Governor Cuomo and sit with him and give his opinions. Thank God they are dumb.

Biden thought shutting down his campaign would benefit him, but it just makes him irrelevant.

The news fact checkers need to lay in a big supply of Pinoccios for use in checking Biden.

“Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.”

Think about this. If Biden actually believed Trump was making mistakes on covid-19 wouldn’t he just lay back and let Trump destroy himself. No this signals that Biden sees that Trump is indeed handling it correctly.

“Biden plans shadow (Fill In The Blank). The possibilities are endless. Just off the top of my head “Biden Plans Shadow Mental Acuity.”

The cameras better be off when his handler walks him across the stage and props him up at the podium, poor lost thing.

Did not he make pro-comments regarding China during Trump’s trade negotiations?

His pro-China bias is painfully obvious—sadly the press won’t note that :(
