Helping Joe to Prep for the Presidential Debate
So he doesn’t sound as lost as usual.

Mr. Vice President, I’m here to help you prepare for the presidential debates -- not an easy assignment, given your propensity to be you.
First the basics: Your name is Joe Biden and you’re running for president of the United States. Your opponent, the incumbent, is Donald Trump. Please don’t say that you’ll “beat Joe Biden†– it sounds like you’re either hopelessly muddled or into self-flagellation.
You have a problem with math. Avoid it, if possible. If you must use statistics, remember 150 million people did not die of “gun violence†since 2007 (it’s really about 40,000 a year, and 60% of those are suicides).
And 120 million did not die from COVID-19 in the United States. At the time you uttered this absurdity in June, it was 119,000. Today, it’s 200,000. One hundred and twenty million would amount to the demise of roughly 80% of the population, and that’s before Medicaid-for-All.
