    This was surreal. To his credit he eventually got into his groove as he moved through his list of approved journalists.

      He’s still going and he’s not doing great…

      Like, he is saying a lot of words, and they do seek to connect with the ones right next to each other most of the time. But it almost never has anything to do with the question after the first sentence or two

      I can’t tell if he’s pretending to talk to people or actually talking to people in the audience. Like I think he sees journalists making comments or reactions and addressing them.

      Edit:

      When asked if his delegates could vote for someone else if they don’t want him he said:

      That’s the Democratic process

      Then leaned in all creepy and whispered

      That’s not going to happen

      Edit 2:

      Fucking hell…

      They asked about “VP trump” at the end and said trump had already latched into it.

      When asked for comment Biden said:

      Listen to him

      Like? Listen to trump?

      Then did his best Monty Burns walk off stage.

      As with everything Biden, I highly recommend everyone watch it when they can.

        It went on too long, he started to lose his train of thought a few times. The end was weird too. I’m not sure “listen to him” meant what he thought it meant.

          The feeding frenzy at the end definitely confirmed that questions were pre-approved and they had to stick with them.

          He was hours late because he was cramming the answers for what he was knew was coming.

          Nothing about this was unscripted

        It’s not complicated. “You think I’m hard to understand? Try listening to that guy.” Subtext.

        Also, he is a lifetime politician. They all dodge hard questions, this is not abnormal. People should apply fair standards to him as a politician, not apply special standards just to him as if he should be better than other politicians or something.

      I don’t think he got into his groove at all. This guy is toast. And what’s with all the whispering?

        He seemed to go in and out of rehearsed responses. Sometimes he’d make sense for minutes at a time and then crash.

        And whispering? He asks rhetorical questions and then whispered the answers. Joe Biden is always telling you a secret.

        I’m voting democrat no matter what, for obvious reasons, but I don’t understand the down voting for calling out what is pretty obvious. I watched John Stewart’s episode on it, then some interviews today. It was bad. Really bad.

        Biden isn’t fit to be president. I wouldn’t trust him with my dinner order. This election hasr potential to be a disaster. Yes, I know staff is doing the work, but it’s still not comforting to have a doddering old man at the helm.

        I would think finding someone that is youngish, intelligent,and exciting wouldn’t be that difficult. It would also be a(nother) huge contrast from the orange shit stain.

        You made your account today and have done nothing but post negative comments on political posts. What sane person would join Lemmy just to look at political stuff they disagree with and only comment on those? Someone that has an agenda, that’s who. You talk about fear mongering from the left in one of your comments but that’s all you’re doing and have done since you made your account.

        I recommend you block this guy before getting into the argument he wants out of you. It’s what I’m gonna do.
