I also wasn't fishing for anything... just wondering about your reasoning, but it was only about the no audience bit, so carry on. | ||

Avoiding large groups of people who may or may not have Corona and not know it makes sense. In reality, I think the DNC is just trying to hide Biden's state as much as possible and act like the emperor is, in fact, wearing clothes. | ||

This seems the most likely, but there's no way he'll make it through the general without it becoming apparent. Trying to squeak it through now is the most shortsighted plan I can think of. If I were Sanders I'd just stand up 3 minutes in and see if Biden falls over when he tries to do the same. | ||

I'd laugh if they got to choose their own desk and Sanders picked one of those motorized standing desks. | ||

It's sad that I feel so comfortable assuming the worst about the DNC, but that's the America I live in. | ||

Yes, he also dropped ("slumped" technically) dead from a stroke a couple months into his last term. His declining health had been kept secret. | ||

Maybe the US has some sort of fetish for old less abled people it tries to keep secret but doesn't keep secret very well. Also I'm listening to an NPR interview with Marianne Williamson and I like what she says. | ||

This isn't a matter of wanting a strong, virile leader for the tribe. This is about wanting a nominee who can still tie his own shoes by the time he's elected. | ||

I agree, I'm just not sure if that's because our standards have dropped or if they've always been that low.  | ||

Or if Biden is in such bad shape now, the VP pick is like a second campaign for him/her to replace Biden on the ticket. I'm just spitballing here lol It need to be someone who's ready to become president and probably a women. A women who has tie both in the south and the north A women who has been fighting ever since she was a little girl A women who has stand up against sexism through her whole career A women who has manage diplomacy on the biggest of stage A women who has fought and endure terrorism at home and abroad A women who has prepare to lead the country her. entire. life. THE MOST QUALIFIED CANDIDATE IN THE HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATE **Cue the balloon shower** Just kidding, but it's really gonna be interesting. | ||
