Stay-at-home candidate: Joe Biden competes with White House on message
See BS 'News' ^ | 3/25/20 | CAITLIN HUEY-BURNS, BO ERICKSON

Just weeks ago, Joe Biden was riding high on stunning primary wins, starting to fill rallies with thousands, dominating headlines, and quickly coalescing the Democratic Party around his candidacy. Now he is hunkered down in his Wilmington basement, forced to communicate through live stream technology that he says took four days to install.

In normal circumstances, Biden would be the figurehead of his party. But in the wake of the coronavirus, local leaders and governors like New York's Andrew Cuomo are on the front pages and at the frontlines of a global health and economic crisis.

On the trail, the former vice president used to spend hours a day glad-handing with potential voters on the ropelines but now he's been consigned to the role of sideline Senate sage.

“starting to fill rallies with thousands”

the key word here is “starting”, which means the “rallies” STARTED to fill with “thousands” but none necessarily got to that number ...

I mean no misrespect, but Joe is much like or own George Herbert Walker Bush. Both rose to their positions being a “yes man.” Now that Joe has reached the top, he has no idea how to be a real leader. He’s never done it.

Cuomo is going to be Biden’s VP choice.

I suspect that Sleepy Joe is actually happy to have the opportunity and excuse to well... sleep.

Thousands of atoms?

He's missing all these opportunities to insult voters and to sniff girls' hair.

If Biden reneges on his pledge to pick a woman for VP he will get some angry responses in the media. For about 24 hours...then they will forget he ever made the pledge.

But Cuomo would be a more formidable Presidential nominee than Slow Joe.
