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.

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.

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?

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 ???

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.

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.

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?
