Yup.

Bush-Kerry doesn't come close.

What time is his press conference on at?

Biden has had his own issues surface. Its such a stupid system that there's only two viable candidates.

Biden's teleprompter stopped working in one of his broadcasts, 2 minutes of rambling, no points, no coherence to sentences, no direction, following sentence of no relevance to preceding one, it was classic dementia.

It's deeply wrong that he is the nominee, he won't be able to handle a one on one debate, he can hardly do 5 minute soft interviews.

He is so poor that the Republicans may sweep across the board.

I mean, you may as well be talking about Trump there.

I'll be the first to admit to Biden having plenty of gaffs and not being as sharp as he was but it seems incredibly harsh to highlight a situation where a teleprompter stopped working. I don't think there are many people who wouldn't struggle in that situation.

Have you watched Trump's press conferences over the last few weeks, or nearly any time he has spoken over the last 6 years?

Trump can't even manage to read from a teleprompter correctly. He tanked international markets and caused travel chaos by messing up an address from the oval office a few weeks ago.

I presume you haven't looked at the polls if you think the Republicans will sweep the board, Biden is beating Trump in most swing states and actually brings the congress into play much more than Bernie would have.

10pm Irish time - you can watch them via Youtube and set a reminder here too:

The next 6 months will be the same Republican talking point, over and over again until its ingrained in peoples minds(and in some cases it already is).

"Biden has dementia, he is not fit for office"

And it really does seem like he is in cognitive decline, seems like a easy sweep for them.

Trump is exactly the same so I don't see why its such a problem. Have you watched any of his recent press conferences?

Have you got a link to the incident above where his teleprompter dies?

The responses to this tweet is yet more evidence that the US is in a downward spiral that will be very difficult to recover from.

Whatever about the rights and wrongs of the policy of the CDC to classify some of these deaths as being caused by Covid-19 without adequate testing, the responses just show how brainwashed a good proportion of the electorate are.

The majority of the replies are indicating that "Deep State Needs #Covid_19 to have large #'s of deaths so they can say We are not going back to work" and extend the lockdown They need this economy to crash to see if they can defeat @realDonaldTrump. Is the only way that perhaps they have a chance in Nov.."

So they believe that practically the entire world is enforcing lock-downs and crippling their economies, including one of Trump's international political friends being in intensive care, in order to try to prevent Trump from being re-elected. Yeah, that's a much more reasonable explanation compared to Covid-19 tests being in short supply and they are reluctant to perform post-mortems on bodies that are more than likely infected by the virus.

It used to be "Trump is great". He's the disruptor in chief". "He's the master negotiator".

After nearly 4 years of his BS, the best that can be managed is... "he's awful, BUT he's not as bad as the other guy".

Laughable stuff.

The problem with that expectation is that the very same claim can be leveled at Trump (see clip below). It is a perfect attack ad, especially when you add in the disaster Trump is making of the virus.

Biden is different from Hillary in the fact that the majority of the public see him as likable so things haven't stuck to him.

This issue could be resolved very quickly if there were enough tests out there to test those that are sick, like Trump and Pence said were available weeks ago.

It seems that if anything the number of deaths due to the virus is being severely under reported, as they aren't capturing many of those that die at home in their numbers. NYC death rates have spiked dramatically even when you exclude the numbers that have been designated as COVID-19.

The real difference is Trump would be rambling about himself more.

Yes he actually said this:

Lwaker.

Dunno how he gets time to deal with coronavirus

He must be nearly all day in preparation for these marathons

ABC news is reporting on a US Military Intelligence report from Nov last about a virus breakout in Wuhan which was sent to the White House and the Pentagon. The report, from the National Centre for Medical Intelligence, was submitted because of the possible spread of the virus amongst U.S military forces based in Asia. The ABC story says the report's conclusions were included in a summary of the presidents daily intelligence briefing IN JAN 2020. I've included the JP article as it is independent of the US but is from a news source in a country favoured by the Administration and wouldn't be one to promote fake news damaging to it.

Maybe a reporter should actually ask him about this and not bottle it ?

Other then super rich people the level of cognitive dissonance it takes for people who will vote for this dangerous demagogue is mind boggling.

Mark Esper cant remember seeing the report and Don cant remember getting the summary. Thank you CNN.

Edit. It was the Peter Navarro report on the probability that the virus would kill thousands of Continental U.S citizens that Don couldn't remember seeing, not the U.S Medical Intelligence unit's report.

Anyone could struggle in that situation, no one without a serious cognitive problem would do in the way he did.

He may well not know why he is on stage with Trump in a debate, it's that serious.

Do you have any family or friends in the mental health industry? Or any qualification in the field?
