That video was something.
In advertising and PR he is completely outclassed. Has there even been a debate?

You and Nancy in simultaneous headlocks, smacking your heads together :lol:

Seriously, anyone on the fence in this race would jump on the Webb bandwagon in a heartbeat based on ads alone. Bob nor his people have done him any favors in the marketing department.

I know some of the people in Webb’s commercials so that made me perk up. I was very much on the fence after the way the Republicans handled their business. But I’m pretty firmly off the fence at this point. I mean unless Bobby comes out in a singlet to do another commercial, then I might reconsider ha

Since Trump has the Rona I’m moving my discussions here for the “integrity of the Board”. Ok stop laughing. Yes I just made that phrase up. No, there is no such thing!

I am always skeptical of Anonymous Sources but this one fits his personality to the letter so I buy it. Plus, it’s the biggest concern for him returning to health IMO

Yeah man, that is a legit concern and something I thought of when I heard them saying he was keeping himself busy. He should just rest so he can bounce back faster.

OANN is just as bad as MSNBC and combine that with "sources" I'll take it with a grain of salt.

That’s exactly why I asked about the 25th. It’s like Freeze last year. Those guys will make their recovery longer because they refuse to make it a priority.

It doesn’t sound like he’s mentally incapacitated. If it were me or you they’d give us something to “calm us down and rest” but he’s the leader of the free world and is used to working on about 4 hours of sleep a night. He’s not Tweeting as much so I do wonder if they took his phone or only give him access for brief periods. Ha

He is capable of continuing to be briefed and make decisions but he shouldn't be out and about like it says he is. Especially at his age. But good luck telling him that.

I'd rather it be in front if a fireplace but this will do.

Conspiracy theoriest say this was pre-taped. I can confirm those conspiracy theorists are not very smart.

First 60 seconds and last 30 seconds were great. In-between? I think he was a bit lost. Hopefully he is in bed sleeping now but I have my doubts.

Yeah he had his thoughts then was trying to read the script. Need to get a teleprompter in there!
It’s a great visual for him though. Loved the crack about Melania

Latest news on potus sounds encouraging. China's reaction to all this is unacceptable. They are a dangerous communist regime. The need to disengage from them is a good reason to vote agaisnt Biden. They own him.

Yeah. Photo ops are gonna photo op. Ha. Of course if he’d done anything else there’d be screaming “How do we know those aren’t Top Secret documents he just showed the World?” The guy really can’t win in some circles

After the latest briefing, we know:

POTUS’ oxygen level dropped below 94 but not in the low 80s. Not ideal but not concerning.

He had two temp spikes but we don’t know how high.

They’ve added dexamethasone which have had mixed results. The WHO only recommends that in critically ill patients.

I have no clue what to think at this point.

Also learned
Will probably be discharged tomorrow or Tuesday
He oxygen didn’t sound like it went below 90
His doctor is not good at press conferences

As for Dex it actually makes sense for this type of illness. Corticosteroids are often given (off label) for respiratory issues).

One thing to keep in mind is that full transparency on his health with Covid is never going to be a thing for national security reasons. I am critical of rhe president but I understand that part. Which is why Meadows contradicting the doctors right after the press conference yesterday makes even less sense.

And yes, this doctor should stop doing press conferences. He is not good at them. At all.

But if he didn’t do them the Press would howl “What are they hiding! If it wasn’t bad Conley would be doing these!” I swear they are rooting for this to be worse than it is.
I am glad he was asked and answered the Meadows question

Of course but that is part of the job. I am not a huge fan of the press but it seems like it has been forgotten by a lot of Republicans how Obama could never do anything right in the eyes of conservative media. It is dumb, but polticans know what they're getting themselves into. Or at least they should.

Written statements would suffice in my mind. A morning update and an afternoon update. Stop saying words to the press. It just isn't his strength.

Unfortunately this administration hasn’t earned the benefit of the doubt. That’s why everything about this is questioned so much. I honestly have no clue what to believe.

It’s not like the Washington Press Corps has distinguished itself either.

They also aren't the leader of the free world. Thank God for that.

I can't stand the press either but my standards for them are much lower than for the President. As they should be.
