US Joe Biden News Megathread - The Other Biden Derangement Syndrome Thread (with a side order of Fauci Derangement Syndrome)

Let's pretend for one moment that he does die before the election, just for the funsies. What happens then? Will the nomination revert to option number 2, aka Bernie Sanders? Or will his running mate automatically replace him just the way Vice-President is supposted to step in after the Big Man in the White House chokes on a piece of matzo? Does he even have a running mate yet?

 

[Zero Day Defense]

Sorry did you say two week? We're on day 160+ of "flattening the curve."

Two Namekian weeks.

I don't know guys. Democrats seem to be all in on Biden. Look at deep blue Deleware! Its like an army of support.

Edit: If you couldn't tell from the ocean of people, there's 1 Madam President lawn sign and Matthew 23:13 on that one chick's sign.

There's dozens of us. Literally dozens of us.

We're gonna see an old man die on stage.

We're going to see the very carefully tuned cocktail of awareness drugs saved up for that first night, and we'll see a well-balanced Biden who refuses to deviate from talking points. And he'll get a bump from the expectations gap: everyone expecting him to crumble, but he does the bare minimum of coherency, which will seem like a "win" in comparison to the image Trump pitches.

And then all those sagging poll numbers get the pre-planned "soar" back up to +10. The media spin is predictable from there.

Further prediction is that Trump may go slightly soft on the first one because he thinks the collapse will be immediate, when he needs to go hard and get Biden to freak out. He'll learn his lesson by the 2nd debate, which will be too late, as the first impression sticks. And early voting will have already started.

The first debate is nearly a month after early voting starts. The Dems aren't taking any chances on Biden.

I do not think Trump is going to go soft. There is very little Biden can attack Trump on that Trump cannot fire back with Oh should we talk about Hunter? or You mean how you and Obama failed to make any plan after a massive pandemic?

Biden could not have been a worse choice unless the goal was to throw him under the bus.

I can see it going both ways, but my concern is that every Republican candidate tends to go soft on the first debate, feeling out the candidate. Trump included, maybe I'm remembering wrong, but I thought he didn't go full force against Hillary until the 2nd debate.

On the flip side, Trump has been doing daily press briefings for months, so he's had tons of practice with hostile environments. But in the debates he's going to face hostile moderators who will be covering for Joe. If Trump gets bogged down in an argument with the moderators, Joe gets to just chuckle on the side and look "above it all".

Apparently Creepy, Sleepy Joe isn't just interested in austerity for the USA, he actually likes to use austerity as a weapon to make the populace more complacent and welcoming of your help. Really makes you think, when we just had forced austerity due to the lockdowns...

>deficit hawkishness is climate denial

I almost want the Chinese to start strong-arming the feds to pay their debts and watch all the social programs get gutted in lieu of anything these idiots hate out of sheer spite.

The debates will probably be unwatchable if the moderators have to pull "fact check" every time Trump speaks to slow his momentum. Leave it to be this year when journalists suddenly want to finally carry out what should be their core tenet.

The debates are run by the press. And the press would rather have an unwatchable mess blamed on themselves, than have Biden, their last hope for unseating Trump, look bad.

Normally I'd be ribbing this aging Jewess for demanding the US stay in debt-slavery to various international interests, but as a wise man once said: "Never interrupt your enemy when he's making a mistake." The Left is a serpent eating its own tail, and it's running out of tail.

I get the feeling that mostly everyone is hard-pressed on who they want in (Want Trump v. Don't Want Trump), well save for the Denocratics who don't want to settle for Biden and the diehard Bernie guys. Normies will clamor towards Biden because news majority rags on Trump, unless his ad space purchases cause a rift in the narrative (WaPo, for instance). And it's a given that a chunk of the electorate just won't even make an effort.

Plus Trump has spend his time building a narrative on how ass news media is. Here's hoping more people focus in on Joe and resist distractions from the media.

[MrJokerRager]

The one common theme is that people who watch MSNBC love Joe Biden and Harris.

It's surprising that CNN did not livestream the convention as we would interesting to see if Biden would get ratio'd on that platform.

However tonight Biden was viewed very negatively though from a online perspective. Like he is Romney with positive press coverage.

"Hey Joe, guess who we invited to this debate for tonight? Tara Reade! That's right, remember how the media just smeared her almost as bad as me? I remember!"

Oh I think Trump should definitely do that...He did it to HRC.

Editing for: The question is if Biden could pick them out of the crowd. He cannot even pick himself out of a crowd of one.

 

[XtrmGamr719]

Oh I think Trump should definitely do that...He did it to HRC.

I would fucking scream if he pulled that off because, even when Joe is an old man with dementia, the media has done so much to cover up the Tara Reade stuff, which has signs of being legit, more than their spotlighting a bunch of women crying wolf about Trump and Kavanaugh.

I have seen the criticism that Trump didn't go full force against Hillary. You can't do that against any woman though. Even if she jumps into the ring people will still be appalled by a verbal beat down.

The mask slips, and Van Jones admits Joe sucks.
