Democrats are criticizing Joe Biden for doing the bare minimum of media interviews, worried that the 2020 Democratic presidential nominee is repeating a mistake made by 2016 Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.
Clinton has called her low-profile media strategy in 2016 a “miscalculation” that played into President Trump’s hands.
While the coronavirus has effectively sidelined Biden, Democrats say an easy way for him to cut through Trump’s noise is to conduct his own media blitz from his home in Delaware.
There were signs on Thursday that suggested Biden was taking note of the criticism.

My mother suffered thru dementia for 5 years. When she would wake up in the morning you never knew what you were going to get and how she was going to react to doing something. Generally the mornings were pretty good but then as it started getting closer to sundown things took a marked turn for the worse. Then when you started giving her Xanax, it was a fine line between enough to calm her down and getting loopy and falling asleep. I suspect this is what there up against with Joe.

It takes a lot of effort to do a media “blitz” for Joe.
1. Handpick “reporters”
2. Feed “reporters” the questions
3. Determine the order in which they will be asked
4. Update the teleprompter with description/names of “reporters”, which side of the room they will be on, load the questions and answers
5. Remind Joe and “reporters” there will be no follow up questions
6. Time Joe’s meds for optimal effect

Too late. The die is cast. There isn't anyone who has been asleep in a cave for the past 4 years, and especially the past 6 months!
We see the violence that democrats are using against us, because their ideas and agenda are anti-American. We won't be cowed or intimidated into submitting!

Lady Lucifer, in 201`6, was too sick during the campaign to meet and respond to reporters questions.
and the other evening, she looked like hell. Puffy eyes, bloated face, dirty hair - quite the picture of illness.
can you people imagine the hideous hillary waddling for reelection this year?

But he did manage to appear on all the late night comedy shows. Joe's gonna need many more than the demographic who turns on those programs. They're not going to be able to drag his sorry carcass over the finish line by themselves. C'mon Joe..... get out there and let everyone get a good look at ya.

I stopped reading at “the coronavirus has effectively sidelined Biden”. Utter BS. Dementia sidelined Biden. PDT has not slacked off for a split second his entire presidency much less during the last 6 month.

Perhaps the Media should be asking WHY he is avoiding interviews rather than complain that he IS avoiding interviews?
Why is Biden avoiding a media that is 97% in his corner entirely?

I've never seen anything like it. When Obama was coronated they blanketed the airwaves with his minions. Obama himself did marshmallow interviews with every 2-bit ultra liberal reporter they could dig up. Old Joe went home and took a 7-day nap.

Biden needs a male nurse under each arm to get to the restroom. I am not seeing him more active.

How will more media exposure work for Biden? He has dementia while Hillary was not.

That's unfair. Hillary was a little woozy when all those balloons were flying around, but she came back and had her fake black accent going and everything. Then she hit her head when her handlers tossed her thru that side door and left one of her shoes at the scene. I mean would you be able to smile for the camera after that? She never got that shoe back either. Some horrible Republican stole it before her EVAC team could circle back and get it.
Expect a lot of heavily edited 'appearances' by joey. Pity the editors and special effects techs who have to work with the gaps, the gaffes and the wondering off mid sentence... 'I'm sorry I could not be with you in person tonight, but unlike our horrible President, I'm working hard for the good folks of America who are appalled by my violence in my city. I mean your city. He is a violent man and when I was in High School I would have taken you out behind the school after school, but violence isn't the answer. Vote for me and we will have zero tolerance for police riots. I'm Joe Biden signing off from the White House of America.

Why should he give interviews? We already know what his favorite color is.

I'm suspicious of these "calls" because it appears they are meant to indicate a choice and we all know Biden cannot be made more visible.
