What would you do if you were in Joe Biden's shoes?

[kentuck]

Would you take Trump to Court? For what reason?

Would you just continue to fill your Cabinet and ignore the "loser"?

Would you trust states like Georgia and Arizona to make the right decisions if pressured by the Trump campaign? (Of course, it would take more than those two states to change the electoral vote winner)

Would you just continue to act presidential and concentrate on the Covid-19?

What would you do different from what Biden is doing at the present time?

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

1. I wouldn't do anything differently.

His current strategy of acting presidential, concentrating on the pandemic and going ahead with planning his transition while ignoring Trump almost completely, is perfect.

[Chainfire]

4. I agree completely

Biden is acting like the next President of the United States. He is keeping the high road and letting the Trump ship smash itself on the rocks of the law. I am happy if he carries on like he is going.

[LuvNewcastle]

9. I agree.

I haven't seen Joe take a misstep yet.

[PatSeg]

10. And he said that it wouldn't be the President's decision

to take anyone to court. That would be in the hands of the Justice Department, which is as it should be.

So far, it appears that he is doing everything the way he should. There are a lot of pundits and politicians offering all kinds of unsolicited advice, but he knows what he is doing and if he needs any informed advice, he will most certainly ask for it. He's been in government a long time, there is very little he doesn't know.

2. I would continue to fill my cabinet and ignore the loser.

[Hekate]

3. Joe is doing everything right. The "barricaded subject" (as Frank Figluzzi calls DT) will eventually

...leave, either voluntarily or by extraction, but he will leave.

[Laelth]

5. I would be doing everything in my power to create a Democratic Senate.

Nothing would be off the table. We MUST control the Senate, or the nation will suffer mightily for the next couple of years.

6. Just get to work. As fun as it may be to lambaste trump for the past four years, it doesn't...

actually accomplish anything we need accomplished.

We have to take a good look at underlying economic problems, international "stuff' that has been broken, morale abyss in the civil service ranks, honest looks at future of employment, rational tax policy, environmental responsibility, and so many other things. Won't be much time to go after Trump while fixing what he broke.

But, letting others go after him should be an easy call.

[Statistical]

7. I wouldn't do anything different (so far).

If when states begin certifying Biden as the winner the GSA lady is still blocking the transition I might sue over that (and only that). That would only be if it actually was an impediment to the transition.

Let Trump flail around like a loser. Nothing he has done has changed anything.

[Binkie The Clown]

8. His shoes are WAY too big for me, and I know it. nt

11. There are no missteps at this point.

As time goes by and the national security implications grow more dire by the minute, he may need to speak directly to it and press the issue with rhetoric first, legal action if all else fails.

[Bleacher Creature]

12. Resole them and add some padding.

That said, I'm not really a fan of hand me downs.

[OneBlueSky]

13. he has a thankless task . . .

trying to transition while the incumbent does everything he can to disrupt and dismember the government while ignoring an out-of-control pandemic . . . and encouraging his cult to "stop the steal" . . . if Joe gets through this and still manages to set up a new administration and address the mess Trump is leaving, he'll be a miracle worker . . .

[Locutusofborg]

14. I would let Trump keep losing lawsuits

The scorecard is 1-24 right now and the 1 was reversed on appeal yesterday. The more election fraud lawsuits Trump loses the more legitimacy I gain as President-Elect and the more of a sore loser Trump becomes to normal people who aren't in the MAGA-cult.

[SWBTATTReg]

15. Hard to say. I'd prefer to let Mr. Biden lead the way, that's why we trusted him enough to vote

him in and he'll (I guarantee you this) have the best minds advising him on what to do.

And I suspect Mr. Biden can do multiple tasks/things at a time, it's his decision making abilities that will come to bear fruit vs. teh inept abilities that will stand out in clear contrast to that of trump's.

Regardless of what the feds do, the state(s) will do whatever they need to do. I suspect trump will ignore state summons, I don't know about the federal summons ...

[Midnight Writer]

16. I wouldn't second guess Joe. He has the knowledge, judgement, and values to do the right thing.

I trust him.

This is no time for sniping from the sidelines.

[MineralMan]

17. I'm not, though, so I'll just let Joe decide what to do.

I'm sure he'll be just fine without my input, really.

On January 20, he will be the POTUS. Until then, he's planning and deciding on his cabinet and key staff members. I'll just leave him to use his best judgment in those areas, I think.

[Hotler]

18. I would get it out of my mind to play nice. You can still be polite without playing nice.

Reaching across the isle and playing nice is 100% on the repugs now. Don't hold your breath.
