The fact that Trump is favored by the best online sportsbooks is proof, I guess, that the devil you know is indeed better. The Orange Goblin made “at least one false or misleading claim per day on 91 of his first 99 days” in office, according to The New York Times. And many others before and after that. He has made numerous comments and actions that have been characterized both within the United States and abroad as racially charged or racist. Trump accused of sexual misconduct and of inciting violence. The former president was impeached by the House of Representatives. And his response to the current pandemic has left a lot to be desired, to put it mildly. Who wouldn’t want four more years of this?
Will the Pandemic change the odds?
Speaking of the pandemic, former VP Biden recently used it as an example of his out-of-touch-ness. “I suggested we should have people in China at the outset of this event, when it all started, in Luhan Province,” Biden told MSNBC on Monday. What he didn’t say was what these “people” could have done in the non-existent “Luhan Province”. Unless he meant Wuhan.
“We had people in our administration, we had CDC people in other countries because we wanted to anticipate when in fact another virus would occur, when in fact a pandemic might occur as a consequence of a spreading virus in another country, to act quickly. The president withdrew those people,” Biden added.
What the newspapers said
According to the NY Times, however, “the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [had] been offering to send a team of experts to China to observe its coronavirus outbreak and help if it can” back in January, while “The World Health Organization … made a similar offer”.
It was the Chinese government which for some reason declined these offers. All things considered, I’d say Joey has good intentions but absolutely no clue.
According to Bernie Sanders, there is a path to beat Biden. When the former isn’t beating himself, that is. “We’re about 300 delegates behind — Biden has 1,200 and we have 900,” Sanders told Seth Meyers. “But there are a lot of people who are supporting me.
We have a strong grassroots movement who believe that we have got to stay in, in order to continue the fight. One of the crises that we’re dealing with right now that we must address, climate change and education, all the issues that we have been talking about. Campaigns are an important way to maintain that fight and raise public consciousness on those issues.”
Sandy would like to debate Biden
Sandy would like to debate Biden one more time to try to sway voters. That’s a good strategy. Get Joey to talk so he can stick his foot in his mouth as he is wont to do. However, the former vice president said last week another debate is not necessary and voters are ready to move on.
It didn’t escape Hillary Clinton that Trump’s latest falsehood involved his assurance that the coronavirus outbreak in the US is under control, when in fact new COVID cases in the country continue to rise. Moreover, the U.S. is leading the world in terms of the number of confirmed infections.
“He did promise ‘America First,’” she tweeted, and shared a New York Times article reporting how the U.S. became the hardest-hit country 1by the coronavirus pandemic on Thursday.
Pick: HRC seems to have the best sense of humor, while Biden is the most unintentionally funny. And with Trump, we laugh that we many not cry (TM Roger Ebert). Based on that, I’d vote for her. But that’s as a human being. From a gambling perspective, I guess I would have to put my money on Agent Orange. Them’s the breaks.
