1. Who cares.....

[SamKnause]

3. I do, and many others as well.

[asuhornets]

4. Oh come on..Let's watch it together...For comparison sake..n/t

[TwilightZone]

8. A lot of people do, plus it's an opportunity.

The primary may be over, but this is an opportunity to show everyone that any Democrat (let's ignore the (I) for the moment) in any position in government is better equipped to handle a crisis of this nature than any Republican. This transcends politics and perhaps voters will understand that having Democrats in charge in times of crises is always preferable than the alternative.

10. He's treating this as if it's some "official response" and rebuttal moment...

He's treating this as if it's some "official response" and rebuttal moment... as the opposition party does after the State of the Union speech.

Who cares.....

I know, right? It will come across as being a "copycat afterthought moment" and a one-upmanship contest. Not a good look.

[TwilightZone]

13. I hope that's not the case and that he draws a contrast with Trump and not Biden.

It would be an excellent opportunity to contrast Ds (ignore the (I) for the moment) with Trump.

You know, a unified front. If Sanders takes the opportunity. Wishful thinking?

[SamKnause]

2. Thanks Donkees.

How are you doing today ???

[Donkees]

6. Just got back from the war zone at the supermarket :)

[SamKnause]

12. I am heading to the grocery tomorrow morning.

My brother is taking me so I don't have to lift all the heavy bags.

I haven't been since December .

I usually go every 2 months.

It has been 3 months, so I need quite a lot.

I hope they aren't out of everything.

How were the shelves at your supermarket ???

[musicman65]

7. Too little Too late

No one could even compare to our Joe

[TwilightZone]

11. Perhaps not, but it will provide a good contrast to Trump.

It should remind voters that crises like this transcend politics and that the country would be better off if Democrats were in charge in these times.

Unless, of course, he uses it as another opportunity to hack at Biden.

5. Who?

[BooScout]

9. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

He should watch this for pointers and tips on how to look like a real president...

14. Just turned the TV off

[Jersey Devil]

15. I think this is another chance to show what real leadership looks like

Both Dem presidential candidates attack the problem in a presidential, professional manner. I can't see how this could be harmful to the Democratic cause.

[violasays]

19. Agreed

I do not like Senator Sanders and I am not going to vote for him, but the Orange Pustule's bloviating last night was horrific. It's good to see the Democratic challengers presenting themselves to the American public.

[nolabear]

16. Now is not the time to dis Bernie. In this case a united front is important.

It’s a good idea to listen and encourage people to follow the lead of those who want to help.

Good on ya, Bernie.

[mucifer]

17. Thanks for posting!

[showblue22]

18. Not even close.

[SamKnause]

22. I agree.

Bernie is head and shoulders above.

[LanternWaste]

33. If one is standing upside-down, yes... most certainly

"Bernie is head and shoulders above..."

If one is standing upside-down, yes... most certainly. Standing up though, he's simply walking in Biden's footprints.

[SamKnause]

36. Bernie doesn't walk in anyone's footprints.

He leads the way.

[asuhornets]

26. I agree...n/t

[SamKnause]

21. Damn, I love this man.

[Iamaartist]

23. Who Cares .....

[asuhornets]

24. Joe is a hard act to follow. Bernie tried it...Came up a lil short...n/t

[Iamaartist]

29. K&R Bernie dosen't have it to be a president...

[Triloon]

25. except that you

obviously do care quite a lot.

[LanternWaste]

34. Because typing one sentence illustrates show much investment in a thing.

"You rolled your eyes at him... you MUST care! Ha!"

C'mon... let's place at least a little rational thought into our biases.

Pretty please...?

[Triloon]

37. what eyeroll...

I see no eyeroll. I see the loudest shout the writer could muster. A big multi colored meme of personal angst pretending to be indifference. No, the eyeroll is right here.

[Uncle Joe]

27. Kicked and recommended.

Thanks for the thread Donkees.

[Siwsan]

28. I thought both Joe and Bernie sounded light years more presidential than trump*

I'm now awaiting the twitter explosion from you know who.

[tishaLA]

30. It wasn't a bad plan at all, but I can't see it passing

or even getting close. Unemployment at 100% up to $60K/year, moratorium on evictions and foreclosures, stopping utility shut-offs? I can get behind, but I don't know that even a majority of Democrats would vote for it.

[BeckyDem]

31. Thank you, Bernie Sanders. One day there will be a president like you.

[TDale313]

32. Glad to see addresses from him and Biden.

Both are a zillion times more presidential that the orange Blob. On a side note, can we just please not with the assholishness to Bernie and his good faith supporters? (Not the jerks... wanna call them out, fine) It doesn’t help. (I realize this will fall on deaf ears for some, but i’ll try anyway)

[LanternWaste]

35. Not a bad attempt at walking in Biden's footsteps.

[Piratedog]

38. I'm glad he made a statement. The more the sensical

People speak out the better. It is going to take all of us to combat this. Both Biden and Bernie.

Thanks to both of them for speaking in this
