The Troll in the Bidenbunker

Biden promises to stop a pandemic, but can’t even do a webcast. frontpagemag.com/fpm/2020/03/tr…

Biden’s first shadow briefing was supposed to be at 11.30 AM. At least that’s what he told donors and supporters. Then it actually arrived at 10.30 AM. Biden didn’t realize he was live. There were audio problems and his teleprompter broke.

Far more Republicans ended up watching clips of what looked like Biden having a breakdown in the Bidenbunker than anyone tuned in for the original shadow briefing.

The shadow briefing idea had been stupid and inappropriate. The implementation made it even worse.

America is not a parliamentary democracy. We don’t have shadow governments. The Constitution set forth a strong chief executive to handle emergencies. We can have elections during a crisis, but Thomas Dewey didn’t deliver shadow briefings on winning WW2.

Biden has no role in making policy during the crisis because he hasn’t been elected to anything since 2012. He isn’t offering a briefing because he doesn’t know anything and can’t brief anyone on what he doesn’t know.

Instead he’s trolling actual elected officials from the Bidenbunker of his rec room to score political points. And, in a true embodiment of his entire career, he’s managed to somehow fail at doing that.

Maybe it’s because President Trump’s handling of the coronavirus crisis is at 60% in a recent Gallup poll. Meanwhile a majority of the country has polled as disapproving of the media’s handling of the crisis.

With a lot of the country afraid, out of work, coping with shortages, and distancing from loved ones, there’s less patience for the media’s brand of toxic garbage.

Most of the country wants to see politicians pull together to resolve the problem. And that’s very bad timing for the Bidenbunker routine to go live.

Nobody’s in the mood to see Biden moping around his cluttered rec room while criticizing Trump.

“I want to be in daily or at least significant contact with the American people and communicate what I would be doing, what I think we should be doing, and how we should be doing it,” Biden claimed.

Rambling sentences like this pop out of Biden's mouth like spent kernels. And just as pointlessly.

Nothing Biden says actually matters. He isn’t in charge of anything and he isn’t being briefed by anyone.

When Biden contradicts President Trump or Governor DeSantis, he’s undermining actual elected officials whose decisions are informed by expert briefings from government officials, in the middle of a crisis.

Imagine a candidate trying to pull this routine during evacuation warnings about an imminent hurricane.

Opposition candidates usually offer their support during a crisis. Instead, Biden is trying to undermine Trump and Congress, at every turn, echoing MSNBC partisan talking points, and sabotaging relief efforts, in a desperate bid to keep his name in the news during a pandemic.

These shadow briefings in which Biden addresses the nation from his Bidenbunker while offering no actual help with anything are inept trolling by a selfish politician and his incompetent campaign which can’t control his gaffes or even figure out basic audio and video equipment.

There’s nothing like a politician who can’t manage to successfully take part in a webcast, something much of the country that’s still at work is doing, claiming that he can save America from a pandemic.
