I just suddenly got impatient with Joe Biden

I want to prepare JOE'S sound bites....

Reporter: Mr. Biden, any reaction to trump's disinfectant advice?

Joe: I'm going to say publicly what many of his aides have said anonymously to reporters: HE'S A MORON.

The structure, grammar, and punctuation of my post should have made it obvious to anybody that the quoted line would be Biden talking about trump.

That Biden hasn't already said something similar is quite frustrating to me.

It is apparent that the "structure, grammar, and punctuation" of your post did NOT make it obvious who said the quoted line. When basically every response indicates that your message was not clear then perhaps you should rephrase it.

Calling someone a Russian Bot is against TOS.

I suggest you retract and apologize to guillaumeb. They were actually defending you.

When you act normal and boring, the media and people just don't want to talk about it because 20 other people said the same. Then comes Trump with his crazy "injecting disinfectant" and we talk about it for days while Joe's response almost always get ignored.

Joe did interviews on MSNBC, CNN and other places but it's largely ignored. The media doesn't cover them or it's only in passing that last 10 seconds because it's not entertaining enough to talk about for a segment. Then people complained he is on vacation and other bs.

We need something memorable.

"He isn't fit for office."

Democrats have been saying that same thing for YEARS now.

He should come out, if he is asked, and say that Trump's disinfectant comments show just how unfit he is to be president.

He could say that they are extremely unintelligent or dangerous, or even that they show just how mentally unstable Trump is.

I don't think that calling him a "moron" would necessarily encompass all of that.

They often start with:

Trump is an idiot...

I too want to see someone call him a moron or idiot. I just think that it shouldn't be the Democratic Presidential nominee.
