"SNIP....


“Joe Biden is planning a regular shadow briefing on coronavirus to start as early as Monday to show how he would handle the crisis and address what he calls the lies and failures of President Trump,” Politico reports.

“Biden gave a preview of what’s to come in a conference call with reporters Friday, where he listed a litany of false and misleading statements from Trump, who has been holding regular White House press conferences concerning coronavirus preparedness and response that have been broadcast live on all major networks.”

1. This, Joe's campaign against Trump, is where the energy needs to go now because it is a

campaign for science over lies at this point.

[GreenPartyVoter]

2. And life over death.

[emmaverybo]

8. Yes!

[Hoyt]

3. Still trying to decide if this is good. It's risky. I'd almost rather leave it to

Bloomberg or Cuomo to criticize trump.

But, if it gets trump to take appropriate action, I’m for it. If Biden looks more like a true leader — which I think he will — even better.

4. It is time for Joe to stand up and become Americas President

It is simple. The spot is empty. Step up Joe. Right now! We need you right now desperately!

I'm not joking - I support Biden completely. Fucking help!

[Bayard]

6. You might want to change your preference then.

[jimlup]

7. No I'm fucking absolutely proud of my preference

just say'n

Just think for a moment. What IF we all had health insurance. Well what if we did??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

[Bayard]

9. "I support Biden completely"

[Blue_playwright]

10. Be fair...

Joe has the nod. I support him completely now, too. But that doesn’t mean there weren’t literally four candidates I preferred.

I’d still have Warren as my sig, if I could. 🤷🏻?♀️ I got what he meant, why come at him?

[calimary]

17. Hey, my first choice was Jay Inslee.

But for me, after bowed out, Biden turned out to be the best choice. But I didn't commit straight away. I sat on the sidelines and thought about it for a couple of weeks. These things, for me, are head-over-heart decisions. So I go first toward what looks more realistic and practical, and second, whether they're perfectly aligned with me. And there's usually a give-and-take on the second part. If the candidate's priorities mostly match mine, I'm good. But then again, If candidate's priorities were too unrealistic, or strongly opposed to mine, then he or she probably wouldn't be in the running to begin with.

[Duppers]

11. Caught that too.

And it is confusing.

[jimlup]

15. What is confusing about holding onto my ideals while supporting Joe?

No, it is not confusing at all. Supporting Joe completely doesn't mean that I'm in lock step with him nor am I in lock step with Bernie. I personally think he should suspend or drop out now but he hasn't.

And I continue to ask the question. WHY DON'T WE HAVE UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE FOR ALL OF OUR CITIZENS??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

[Duppers]

16. Got ya.

[Bayard]

5. This is a very good thing

Article doesn't say if it will get air time, or just continue as conference calls with reporters. It will be good to see our next president being honest with the American people, and providing a workable, detailed plan.

Watching Rachel tonight, she's no longer trying to be diplomatic, calling out trump's daily dose of lies. Its a dangerous thing for our country. Then she broke down at the end talking about their colleague who just died of the virus.

[karin_sj]

12. Yes!!!!

We need a true national leader that actually cares about the American people instead of this vile, cruel, stupid excuse for a human being. Thank you, Joe!

[marlakay]

13. I hope he doesn't stand close to anyone

Trump is setting a horrible example and it should be like Germany where they are spaced apart.

[Jim__]

14. An immediate benefit from this is that Trump may adopt Joe's recommendations so that ...

... he can claim they're his. That could get us some early relief.

[Gothmog]

18. Here is a statement from Joe
