With the coronavirus putting a halt to campaign events and rallies, Democrat presidential candidate Joe Biden told reporters he plans to keep in touch with donors and supporters through this new thing called a “teleconference.”

“They tell me there’s ways we can do teleconferencing via us all being in different locations,” Biden told The Washington Post’s Matt Viser and other reporters of this brand new thing that lets you see people in different cities on a video screen.

The Biden campaign plans to use the Zoom video conference app to hold virtual fundraisers with donors and for other campaign events.

But a March 13 attempted “virtual town hall” with Biden proved to be a disaster. Illinois’ Democrat Senators Dick Durbin and Tammy Duckworth couldn’t stay on the screen while using their phone cameras. 

Biden’s audio was badly garbled through much of the event. Staff fixed it by having him speak into his telephone instead of the off-screen microphone, but at one point Biden nearly wandered off-screen as he spoke into his phone.

The “virtual town hall” was a 38-minute event, but it was so technically botched the Biden campaign had to pull it from their YouTube channel. They eventually posted a version that edited out all the mistakes and glitches, cutting the event to just 18 minutes.

Comments

    1. Democrats went from the most wicked corrupt candidate in history with Hillary to now a man who is as oblivious as Senator Byrd was in his last days.
      Face it. These were not the mistakes of a clear mind.
      1. Outing Seal Team 6
      2. Bragging about removing the prosecutor from the Ukraine investigation
      3. Defending Hunter
      4. Defending his brother’s business dealings
      5. Instructing us how to use a SHOTGUN.
      6. Being the puppet of Obama.

  1. Zoom (ZM) is the stock to buy.

    It is time for Joe to retire and start looking for a good nursing home.

  2. It is time for his family to step in and pull him from campaign. They know how he us failing. I I wouldn t put live one thru this humiliation. Time for nursing hone

    1. Fully agree with pulling him.

      His time came and is now over, surely someone in his family does not want him to further embarrass himself

    2. I agree. It is apparent to anyone who has ever been around an elderly person that he has the beginnings of dementia. How can his wife allow this to go on?

    1. Agree that is was sad. Joe should be at home enjoying his family since he may not have a lot of years left to do so.

      1. The democraps want him elected so his VP can take over as he is ” not fit ” and they want it to be killary.

        1. Very terrifying thought but I do believe that’s the plan and Hod help us all if it is because folks it could work

  3. The dems want Biden as president so he can be controlled and given more socialist ideas to pass into law. I would venture to say if he’s president Nancy Pelosi will actually be running the country.
    Everyone who has comment that he needs a nursing home is correct. In the past when he held office all his relatives gained huge amounts of wealth. I dont think you will see any of them step in to put him in a nursing home.

    1. But Pisslosi needs a nursing home too. She’s a crazy old bitch. She’s an alcoholic too. Old age and alcohol don’t mix very well.

      1. According to the Italian Government, those are two of the three gravest risk factors for dying from COVID-19:
        – old age,
        -alcoholism,
        -cigarette smoking.

        Those are the big three. Nearly all of the deaths from COVID-19 happen to people who drink alcohol and smoke cigarettes. Since COVID-19 is asymptomatic for the first 10 days after exposure, the cigarette smokers are inhaling that virus into the deepest parts of their lungs. By the time the virus fulminates (why do doctors use those kinds of words?), it is too late. You can put the patient on a ventilator, but it doesn’t do any good. The virus has penetrated their entire respiratory tract. Stick a fork in them; they are done.

  4. Bernie, Biden and Polusi How much longer must we put up with these mental cases?
    Any name in a phone book is 1000% smarter than these mentally disabled nuts
    and Kenyan born obama is just as bad

  5. Joe’s getting old. There’s even a Devon Whisper song on YouTube about it called “I’m Gettin Old – Joe Biden Edition”.

  6. Must have come from he same National School of Idiots as AOC who marveled at that great invention she found the inventions called the Kitchen Sink Disposal and vegetables grown from dirt.

    1. Poor old creepy, handsy Joe… his time is done however, watch very closely at who he picks for a running mate because worst case scenario, he picks Kamala Harris or even worse, Hitlery, he can be removed for “unfit for duty” with the 25th amendment and BOOM, President Evil Harris or Hitlery… wouldn’t surprise me if Hitlery pulled a Vince Foster oncreepy pathetic Joe!
      Think about it!?

    2. But AOC gives really good head. She’ll blow your weeny for just $2.55, much cheaper than Kamala. Just contact aocsucksem.com to set up an appointment. She swallows too.

  7. democrats have along list of unfit people. joe, nancy aoc, harris just to name a few. they are all nuts. what would our great country become with these nut jobs running it.

  8. please don’t think it’s a coincidence that Sanders was soaring way ahead of Joe and then, suddenly, Biden zooms past him at the same time the documentary “Hillary” was released, showing the Clinton’s in a charming and favorable light. The Powers that Be have to have Joe, their puppet, in the WH because he will become incapacitated immediately after taking office and his VP – Hillary – will be in control. The World Powers That Be will have won. So clear it’s unbelievable. Joe can’t win at least not legitimately. But Joe with Hillary probably could. That will be scary, friends, really scary… yet it’s playing out like a well-oiled machine.

  9. Joe Bidens family should step in, he’s not fit to run for anything his time has passed, they should be ashamed of themselves,Their using him,

    1. Joe being in ‘public office’ has been very good for the family’s bottom line….his son, 2 brothers and sister have gotten wealthy selling INFLUENCE to Joe…

  10. Joe Biden was in Washington when our middle class was OUTSOURCED to China….in fact his family profited from it. Donald Trump was a private citizen who warned us of the consequences of allowing China to manufacture everything we use…including our pharmaceuticals….for this reason alone…Americans should reelect Trump…

  11. Dangerous: Cuomo will step in very soon and run for POTUS, Gather all your Political Ammo now ,This Guy is dangerous

  12. They are hoping he will be elected then declare him incompetent then he collects his presidential retirement pay for as long as they can keep him alive. The next election pits Trump against the Vice Presidential candidate and Joe already said he is open to Hillary as VP. ?

  13. Didn’t he ever use this type of service when he was Obama’s VP, or maybe Obama didn’t want him using it.

    1. Let me give you a clue. When Biden was Vice President the Secret Service was told to only let him use crayons to write with because Obama didn’t want him having anything sharp.

  14. Teleconferencing has been a thing since the early 80s. I use to work for a company in Colorado that coordinated world wide teleconferences from every part of the globe. We had governments, major corporations, charitable organizations and many others on our list of clients. Biden is so out of touch I can’t believe the Democratic party is holding it’s hopes and prayers on this imbecile.

    1. You must keep in mind Biden still thinks record players are still in vogue.
      Therefor “teleconferencing” might still seem so new to him.

  15. Biden is an absolute disgrace to this country. Democrats should be embarrassed that they actually think this guy could be president. I know he’s going to be a stepping stone and whoever they put in as vice president will actually be president. Think about that one.This is been flying around for sometime now and it actually sounds like it could be their only option

  16. I am of two minds when it comes to Biden’s candidacy for President.

    One, is he he likely to be tossed aside by some “Deep Swamp” cabal
    and replaced by someone like Cuomo who is being built up by the media
    but who, up to a month ago, was deemed an impossible choice?

    The other, what if by some accident Biden is actually elected President and
    we have a mentally impaired President for the next four years?

    An unrelated concern is what if Trump gets the virus and/or starts to
    show some physical or mental problems as well? He’s no Spring chicken himself.

  17. Joe was surprised by teleconferencing because it’s a lot more advanced than what he’s been using up to now, but it’s getting harder and harder to find telegraph operators these days.
