So JUst Why Has He Been In Vermont & Not DC

[Me.]

with all the justification going on for him being there, no one can/does explain why? I keep thinking something is wrong with him and he is hiding out.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

1. If he has cv or suspects he does or has been exposed, he ought to come clean about it.

He is especially vulnerable because of his age and heart condition, so I hope he doesn't have it. He might be just self-isolating because of his vulnerability. But he should be honest and explain why he hasn't gone back to the Senate like everybody but those four or five senators who have been exposed.

[Me.]

4. Exactly

Transparency. But he wouldn't want to say why because it would bring his liabilities front and center.

[Demsrule86]

10. Maybe he is afraid of CV?

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

12. That's quite possible, considering his age and health issues.

And I don't blame him if he's worried; we're all worried. But if that's the reason he's staying away from the Senate he should say so. Maybe he doesn't want to bring up his health; he wouldn't release his complete medical records even before the pandemic hit. So that's clearly a sore issue for him. If he were to say, "I'm almost 80 and I have a heart condition, so I have decided to stay home," people would understand. But chances are he doesn't want to do that because he wants people to believe he's healthy enough for the presidency.

17. We're not fools. He shouldn't treat us as such.

2. Not Us, Me.

3. I've been thinking of the 'why'

When was he last seen in public or live video?

[MontanaMama]

7. He was on Chris Hayes last night. n/t

[Demsrule86]

11. That is why I don't watch Chris Hayes.

[Me.]

20. So He Can Do THat

but not show up for a vote?

[MontanaMama]

21. I agree.

Wonder what's up with that? I'm curious if he might be ill or if he is really frightened of becoming so?

[Me.]

24. Then He Needs To Say So

cause the current look isn't very good for him

[Cha]

23. In person or satellite? Thanks, MontanaMama..

StaySafe!

[question everything]

31. Was in person on PBS NewsHour

[Cha]

33. Thank you.. never did find your other OP..

Wondering if you could put it in your Journal for now until I've read it?

5. He's avoiding the corona virus so he can torment us as long as possible. n/t

[bucolic_frolic]

6. Coming to grips

with a rigid strategy that failed. I wouldn't read much into his absence without any evidence. If it were a health issue I doubt they could keep it quiet this long.

[Me.]

8. But He Isn't Coming To Grips

He plans to stay in at least to April's primary in NY

[Scurrilous]

9. He fears the reaper.

BOC be damned!

[7horses]

13. Where in the hell is Biden? Does he have Covid 19 virus?

Bernie is 78 and has a heart condition, maybe he is just doing what the experts on C19V have told us what to do?What the hell is wrong with you people on DU? Why are you so fascinated with Bernie Sanders. I think it is fear, you fear his ideas truth and principles.

14. Here's link to ABC article and video from today where Joe Biden joined the View just this morning

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

15. On TV.

Biden isn't a Senator. Bernie, however, has a job, which is being a Senator, and it's fair to ask him why he isn't doing his job. If he's worried about getting sick we get that, so all he has to do is say "I'm almost 80 and I have a heart condition so I'm staying home."

[Demsrule86]

16. Biden doesn't get paid to do a job...Dianne Feinstein is older than Sanders...what a guy...not.

[Me.]

19. Then He Should Step Away From A Race He Isn't Winning

instead of insisting he's still in the race. And what I fear is someone incapable of getting the job himself, will out of a matter of ego, land us, yet again, with the Menace we currently have in office.

[Codeine]

22. Hard to fear one so soundly beaten. nt

[Blue_true]

25. Biden doesn't currently have a job in the US Senate,

where everyone except those that have COVID-19 or those that had contact with someone that did have it, are at work.

Critical issues are being debated, many of those issues are ones Senator Sanders claims that he cares about. Why isn't he in the Senate waging an effort to procure emergency policy for societal change that he claims he cares about?

[sheshe2]

26. 174K salary.

If I did not show for my job I would be fired.

[Blue_true]

27. Same here, and I own my job. nt

[sheshe2]

28. Hey.

Me, I am retired after being fired for being to old. I tried for a year to find a job. To old. Dayum, I should have run for a Senate seat.

Hugs~

[Me.]

37. I Wish You Had

[sheshe2]

38. Thanks, Me!

[emmaverybo]

29. You know where this started, who opened the door.

[question everything]

32. Biden is not a Senator, does not participate in the discussion.

[Demsrule86]

34. My only fear is his refusing to suspend his campaign elects trump again.

[Skidmore]

18. He's part of a really vulnerable group

right now. It has me wondering. I am too but we went to stock up because we are in an area that is a hot spot and the governor is considering a shut down.

[question everything]

30. He was in DC today. Was interviewed on PBS NewsHour

Perhaps waited until he knew that he would be interviewed from the Senate hall or whatever the place is called where the networks conduct their interviews.

First it was John Thume and it was funny to see him kinda hiding behind a column until it was his turn.

[TomCADem]

36. Because He Confuses The Senate with Surveymonkey

And thinks the only thing he needs to do is pull a lever and call it a day?
