1. LOL!

[ginnyinWI]

2. lol!

That's really clever! It takes a moment to sink in...

For the Dotard, it's always opposites day!

[marylandblue]

3. Biden should take his press pool for a jog, then suggest Trump do it too.

[LongtimeAZDem]

4. No, because then we'd be running against Pence, which messes up the polling

11. +1

[DownriverDem]

5. Love Joe

See folks, Biden will respond right away. He will not take trump's crap.

[NastyRiffraff]

15. I do like that about him

I also like the fact that Trump is freaking out over Joe. Still undecided, but I would be very happy with Joe as president.

[DownriverDem]

18. A numbers game too

Part of trump's reelection game plan includes winning Pennsylvania. Biden was born and raised in Pennsylvania and is well liked there. trump does not want to run against Biden. Biden will not take his crap. Folks want normalcy. Biden represents that. He has the experience and knows how it should go. Go Joe! BTW I'd love to see a Biden/Harris ticket.

[NastyRiffraff]

44. Biden/Harris would be good

But honestly I'd rather see a Harris/Biden ticket. I don't think Joe would go for that, though; why would he? I know it's not the only factor, but I'd really like to see a competent, compelling woman at the top of the ticket, and I'm leaning Kamala right now. A Harris/O'Rourke ticket would be dynamic also.

[NBachers]

6. Okay, it's on

[CentralMass]

7. I would like to see Joe challenge him to a few laps around the White House.

[Blue_true]

32. Joe should stack the deck.

The reward for winning would be steamed vegetables instead of over-cooked steak with catsup or KFC.

[Sanity Claws]

8. I love the subtle insult

It really isn't that subtle but at least it is not the unimaginative brick over the head insults that Trump gives.

[ancianita]

9. We've got 18 months ahead.

10. So says Mr Healthy Trump who rode a golf cart while other world leaders walked several hundred yards

12. Bone spurs, dontchaknow.

[corbettkroehler]

43. Ouch! Any Day We Can Remind The World Of Cadet Bonespurs Is A Good Day!

I don't know for a fact that Senator Duckworth invented that nickname for the orange potato but she sure employs it with authoritative conviction.

You made my day, zackymilly!

[sandensea]

13. Cheeto makes the zombies in Return of the Living Dead look young and vibrant

[maxsolomon]

14. Har de Har.

Nothing about this is funny. Trading quips is to Trump's advantage.

Asshole wasted exactly zero time in attacking Biden's age, an issue on which Joe is, sorry, vulnerable. So is Sanders.

Love, a DU Ageist.

[John Fante]

17. Neither is vulnerable on that issue when compared to a

disheveled, overweight, low-energy, and barely coherent shithead like Trump. If anything, Trump sounds like a fool calling himself young and vibrant.

[maxsolomon]

20. Yet he'll get away with it. he'll never stop attacking Biden's age.

Dems are too polite to make an issue of his monstrous Vanity: his hair, his weight, his spray tan, his fake teeth. All of it got left on the table by the Clinton campaign.

Trump's masculinity is vulnerable to attack. Do it to his face.

[marylandblue]

25. Exactly. It's hard to beat a shameless liar and bully at his own game.

Biden has limits on what he will say, Trump will say anything and everything. Either Trump will get the last word, or they will both look like disgusting pigs. But then people may choose the real pig rather the human who fell into the pigsty.

[Blue_true]

33. Then the best way for Biden to counter is simply out campaign Trump.

Biden should do 3,4,5 events a day like Prrsident Obama did in 2008, and even did a bit of in 2012. One issue that I had in 2016 in the General is our campaign seemed to spend time off the campaign trail and not go to small cities and towns.

[Drunken Irishman]

29. Disagree...

These barbs work. Trump is at his worst when he's flustered by these types of barbs. I keep pointing to it but one of the best moments in the debates for Hillary was her calling him Putin's Puppet. His response was fucking lame and mocked for it. Problem was, she really stayed away from those types of attacks and I think it hurt her.

Biden's attacks are not slimy. They're endearing.

Case in point:

They're funny but biting.

Trump's barbs are just nasty.

[Laelth]

35. Hear! Hear! n/t

-Laelth

[maddiemom]

36. YES!

Trump's childish comeback to Hillary ("...you're the puppet" etc.) would be the ultimate disqualifier to any reasonable person watching the debate. THE DEBATE for POTUS!

[maxsolomon]

46. the problem is, you need the votes of a majority.

to paraphrase Adlai Stevenson.

millions of voters are unreasonable, irrational, and know jack-all about who Asshole actually is.

[kimbutgar]

40. Joe knows how to poke a sharp stick at fat donnie though his gelatinous fat skin

[maxsolomon]

45. I'm not explaining myself then

Nothing about Trump's presidency is funny - TO ME. We're on the brink of a Dictatorship under an aging Sociopath who thinks he's fucking Don Rickles.

I agree that needling Trump TO HIS FACE provokes him into mistakes (which is why he rarely speaks to anyone that can talk back). But trading zingers back-and-forth in the media? I'm not convinced that it doesn't suit his purposes.

He thrives when everything is a circus.

[Still In Wisconsin]

16. Ooohhh... BURN! n/t

[Scurrilous]

19. LOL

[gateley]

21. Good one, Joe! :-) nt

[LuvLoogie]

22. Who you tryin' to get crazy with, ese?

Don't you know I'm loco...



Fuckin a, bruh. Bring it.

[highplainsdem]

23. LOL! Perfect response!

[NYMinute]

24. Biden's quick-witted zingers are priceless. nt

[SMoss]

26. Joe for President

We need Biden as President. We need his experience to rebuild the government. Most of the top level jobs are empty, and a huge number of senior people have left in disgust. The next Pres needs to rebuild and that is a tremendous job. One of the three very qualified women should be VP. The VP should plan to take over in 4 years.

[BobTheSubgenius]

27. I think this has tremendous meme potential.

I'd love to see a contest of sorts, wherein pictures of Drumpf being distinctly non-vibrant. A very excellent aspect of this is that it is a contest where there are no losers!

[UniteFightBack]

28. This recycled sleepy Joe shit - he used it for Todd and this I'm young crap..rump is losing

his touch.

[marieo1]

30. Class Act

Joe Biden is one of my favorite guys in Washington. He has always behaved like a true gentleman. You could never say that about DJT!! DJT is not only old, he is senile, too. DJT isn't very smart, the only way he has gotten as far as he has is because he inherited a bunch and has used people with brains, and stolen and maneuvered money from other people into his own coffers. Every single one associated with DJT have been crooks and without any morals. Joe Biden has always been a class act!!

[Blue_true]

31. Way to punch back Joe. nt

[Laelth]

34. Honored to be rec. #100.

Well said, Joe.

-Laelth

[JI7]

37. Trump also said that he was better looking than Conor Lamb and that Lamb was only "slightly younger"

than him (trump).

but is it a surprise considering trump is the healthiest person to ever live and will live to be more than 200 ???????????

[SammyWinstonJack]

42. Seem to recall tRump said Justin Trudeau was a good looking guy but he thought

he was better looking.

[duforsure]

38. When illegitimate 45 says he looks young and vibrant

As he's been doing all along he's projecting the opposite of the truth, again. He's addicted to lying about himself, so it also probably means his health isn't good, because he looks bad , and acts unable to do easy things at times, like walk 200 yards, and has to ride a cart. That's probably behind him having his goons steal his doctors records of him, he knows it would expose him.

[extvbroadcaster]

39. I am amazed at Trump

I have to admit I am amazed at Trump. An easy life of screwing off and daddy's money seem to have left him able to function fairly well in his 70's, health wise. Sure, he is an overweight KFC eating douchebag, but he can get around pretty well. If getting around means jumping in and out of limos and riding golf carts. Trump never heard of exercise outside of swinging a golf club, yet he shows little sign of health issues at this point. In your 70's be prepared of arthritis, poor eyesight, maybe other problems. If Trump ever did any kind of work his whole life, he would not be able to function as he does. So far, he is holding up. Mentally, he is as nuts as ever and getting worse.

[SammyWinstonJack]

41. And tRUMP is too stupid, arrogant, vindictive to be pResident.
