Nearly 1 in 3 Florida children tested come back positive for Covid-19.

Time to scale back those school opening plans despite pleas from the White House to ignore the science.

It’s a good thing America is no longer listening to those murderous bastards with their complete disregard for American life, honor, and security. All they can do is destroy wealth and endanger life. These are the two remaining pillars of the republican brand.

bankshot you're're like a second-grader and HUGE waste of time.

I stick by exactly what I said.  Biden should do it. It has the benefits I listed twice.

It never was intended as some sort of standalone tweet, but would be backed up by specifics (I thought that was obvious).  Which amusingly you seem to think is your idea, not just normal political engagement.   But your entire understanding of political tactics seems woefully underdeveloped.

It could be done by a surrogate (again not your genius idea, but an obvious possibility), but I prefer Biden doing it more.  Otherwise, I'm not concerned about heartland voters in the Dakotas where Biden won't win.

Your a blowhard, and will endlessly chew off my leg on this, claim you were right all along, pretend that I have changed my position and agree with you, or some other crapola.  Everything is a smackdown with you, an attempt to WIN on the internet, not a discussion.  Infantile.  Time to scrape you off my shoe and move on.

When your opponent is drowning, don't throw him a lifeline.

Yup it doesn't seem that hard a concept to understand.

What the hell kind of lifeline?
Trump is going to take Biden up on it and resign?
Too dumb.

Bo i told you why I disagreed with you and then you started to amend your stance to beef it up and adopted similair positions to what I had posted.

And those are facts. the posts are there.

That you take constructive criticism so poorly and you are so defensive is the mark of a child.

And no everything is not smackdown with me.

I challenged your post and you got upset.

As to your leg, I'm not interested, as there is really very little meat on the bone.

no substance as it were

heh

I think it's good for Biden to show a little toughness and grit now and then.

No. Asking him to resign is the lifeline. It gets turned around very quickly and suddenly the GOP is saying the Democrats don't want you to have a choice! They're trying to trick their way into power!!!blah, blah, blah.

Let Biden promote Biden. Stay above the fray. Look and act like the one who belongs in the Oval Office.

And let Trump continue to flounder

Biden's strength is connecting with people and connoting empathy. That takes a lot more grit than what you're asking for, IMO.

It's certainly possible that Trump remains such a huge and continuous disaster, that Biden can win by largely staying on the sidelines and not killing tens of thousands of Americans.  But still months to fill.

I think the Dems/Left worry far too much that everything they do will somehow redound to the benefit of the GOP/Right.

The only thing  Trump has going for him is his declaration of "victimhood" at the hands of the Democrats and the "lib" media. Focus on his incompetence, focus on the fact that he's a miserable human being, but don't give him a chance to claim "they tried it with impeachment, they tried it with the idea of me resigning; they want to nullify your vote." Why give him even that talking point?

Trump's desperation will only build as his poll #s weaken. His instability and inability to govern and lead will become increasingly apparent to most (deplorables gonna be deplorable).

Biden should stay on message by talking about the issues important to America rebuilding America, jobs, security, healthcare, education clean air and water, and the importance of our shared values of democracy and decency and the pursuit of happiness for all and all are welcome in that pursuit.
