16. On rare occasions, I agree with David Brooks of the NYT and PBS News Hour

During last Friday's "Shields and Brooks" segment on the News Hour, Judy Woodruff asked if Biden is being hurt by the relative lack of attention, inability to campaign, etc.

Brooks said, "Biden is fine." I agree.

Biden is working with his teams, issuing plans and policies, doing podcasts and virtual town halls. His poll numbers are steady and solid while IMPOTUS' are going down.

It's April and there's a pandemic that this maladministration is making worse. Only those of us who are involved in Democratic politics (as volunteers) are paying attention to the presidential campaign.

Biden is fine.
