Dumb, senile Joe Biden can’t even pronounce the virus properly. He’s gone from calling it the “Luhan Virus” to “the cona” and Democrats are getting nervous, as they should be.

The coronavirus pandemic halted Joe Biden’s steady march to the Democratic presidential nomination, and now allies are conflicted over whether the former vice president has found his footing in the basement of his Delaware home to face the reality of the new campaign landscape.
Banned from the campaign trail and stalled by a string of primary election postponements, Biden finds himself in the tricky position of being the almost Democratic presidential nominee but without a consistent stage. He’s struggled to maintain a high profile befitting a presumptive nominee as President Trump commands the bully pulpit for the nation’s pandemic response and New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo emerges as the most visible Democrat in America for now via his daily briefings.
To top it off, Biden still can’t shake Sen. Bernie Sanders, who seems determined to pursue his campaign as long as possible, even though Biden has a powerful delegate lead.
“The only a–hole doing damage to the party is Bernie Sanders,” said Joe DiSano, a Democratic political consultant based in Michigan. “He’s not going to win. He’s wasting time. Every minute that Joe Biden spends focused on Bernie Sanders is one less he’s spending on Donald Trump.”
Biden allies and Democratic strategists interviewed by Fox News lamented the fact that Biden was on the cusp of the nomination but has been delayed in any effort to galvanize the party given the global crisis. While no one interviewed by Fox News overtly sounded alarm bells about the state of the Biden campaign, they expressed uncertainty about the trajectory of the election given the massive X-factor of the deadly coronavirus.

“The economy tends to determine a lot of voter behavior,” said Hank Sheinkopf, a longtime New York political consultant who has worked for former President Bill Clinton and former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg. “But if you put the economy together with more people dying — if this continues into June — the stress on the president will be very, very significant. If the economy starts to lift and the pandemic starts to subside, well then he [Trump] can claim victory.”
