Two Grumpy Old Men Tearing Each Other Apart




On Sunday, former VP Joe Biden refused to state if he supports a national quarantine to fight the increasing coronavirus threat, opting instead to attack both Trump and Sanders.

The former Vice President, who many believe has locked up the party’s nomination, was asked within the Democrat presidential debate if he thought a “national lockdown” was in order to prevent the coronavirus from spreading. Rather than answering the query head on, Biden reacted by stating that it was critical to listen to ‘medical professionals.’

According to Biden in an apparent attack on President Trump, what he’d do is what he did in the previous administration. He’d call a meeting inside the situation room of all of the professionals in the U.S. handling this crisis.

Biden went on to say that specialists were more crucial than having universal health care, like Bernie Sanders’s Medicare for All proposal.

According to Biden, with all due respect to the proposal for Medicare for All, you have a single-payer system inside Italy. It does not work there. It doesn’t have anything to do with Medicare for All. It wouldn’t resolve the problem, whatsoever.

Joe’s refusal to state his views upon a national quarantine comes just days after the former VP uncovered his proposal for responding to the coronavirus pandemic. As the news reported last Thursday, numerous proposals offered by Joe already were being incorporated by Trump’s administration.
