  1. Sorry, but it is not too much to ask that the person we put in office and tax with the caretaking of our nation is in peak mental condition. If you don’t believe me just look at the mess Dementia Don is making.

    1. Zeroskull, that’s just typical Democrat tricks! When are people going to learn that Democrats don’t care about anyone?!

  2. Why is he reporting Biden at a Bernie rally? Are we really going to ignore the energy Bernie creates?

  3. We hear so much discussion on how personable Joe Biden is with people and his ability to tell stories on an emotional level, which is all okay up to a point. However, I’m not hearing any of his policy details. In addition, I’m getting tired of hearing the media’s and DNC excuses for Biden’s gaffs, etc.

    This is why I personally will take E Warren over Biden exactly because of her ability to focus on the details and explain the details of her policies. You can tell that she has thought it out thoroughly and knows the facts. That’s what I look for in every candidate. Politicians can always tell their stories but I want to know what their policies are and how they will affect us overall.

    1. He doesn’t HAVE any policies! We need systemic/structural change, not status quo/incrementalism. The incrementalism and preservation of the status quo while so many of us are struggling is what brought us Donald Trump in the first place.

  4. As often as Biden makes the gaffes, die hards won’t care–he can keep these gaffes going-JUST LIKE Trump when he said that he could do anything and his base would still vote for him because they don’t care. So there you are.

    1. He is a Democrat. The lefts will be responsible for him just like the Democrats said republicans are responsible for Trump🤷‍♂️ Biden isn’t “Trump #2”. He is in his own mental league.

  5. Just deny and make a bigger blunder to cover the first blunder. The mainstream media’s not very smart, they will run after any shiny objects.,

  6. All these gezzers are 70+ and remind me of walmart greeters.
    Ffs go get a cabin by a lake and go fishing .

  7. Jesus Christ tell this man to drop out. Only the low information Dem voters are voting for him. There are better options for Dems in the primary if people just bothered to do research instead of relying on name recognition. This is so frustrating.

    1. Exactly. It’s frustrating because MSNBC continues to cheerlead for him and tell us that these “gaffes” don’t matter and are actually “endearing.” Yeah, it’s totally endearing that the guy’s brain is melting before our eyes. This is the kind of thing that causes Trump supporters who might be somewhat on the fence to dig their heels in further and stay with Trump– MSNBC and CNN pile on Trump any time he stumbles over a word or messes up a fact (along with the times when he lies consciously), but when Biden does it they make excuses for it and say it’s part of his charm. Biden’s campaign is hiding him from voters and running a “hide the ball” strategy. If this is how he is right now early on in the primary, what’s he going to be like in the general? This is a disaster waiting to happen. Meanwhile, Bernie Sanders gets raked over the coals constantly by MSNBC and subjected to false fact checks, his support among voters is downplayed and ignored, etc. The mainstream media is setting us up for another 4 years of Donald Trump.

    1. That goes for any other Dimmo nitwit that gets the nomination, they’re all clowns. Hiltlary had at least some contrived positions in govt.

  8. That’s amazing the Biden campaign was so desperate for cheers they had the story run during the children of Bernie Sanders

  9. Yeah, Uncle Joe is too old to be the president at this point. A real good man who served well for decades.

  10. Democrats your Catch 22 is that the mainstream would only nominate a moderate Dem. But your only moderate is a Dem. Wit. Hahahahahahahaha

  11. Only two bus loads of fake supporters shipped in to hear his crap???
    What…not enough money???
