I wouldn't say it's smart.
Biden is creating a new scarlet letter, except this one is a "C". I think it also reinforces the Bunker Theory...How can you govern in a bunker?
If by bunker you mean "running over video conferencing" - I think pretty much every F500 company is being run from a bunker right now.

You don't run a country from a bunker.

He’s not running the country, he’s running for president. And his deliberate strategy of letting Trump run against himself seems to be paying off. If the polls are any indication.

Agree.
As I say before, the best campaigner for VP Biden is President Trump.

Yep, now Trump has backtracked.
He’s such a whiny fucking bitch. The little snowflake did this in 2016 too.
I hope Biden stays firm.
-
And the debate commission too.
Down 10 points with three weeks left, Trump’s a beggar, not a chooser. He shouldn’t have bluffed if he didn’t want to have it called.

And just when one party had an opportunity to show the country it’s maturity...

@Jolly probably thinks it’s just a negotiation tactic.

His doctor says he’s totally safe.
This is the same doctor who thought it was “notable“ that antibodies could be detected in Trump’s blood 48 hours after they infused 8 fucking grams of them into his bloodstream.

Dr. Anthony Fauci, the government’s top infectious disease expert, said two negative PCR lab tests 24 hours apart are a key factor in determining whether someone is still contagious.
“So, if the president goes 10 days without symptoms, and they do the tests that we were talking about, then you could make the assumption, based on good science, that he is not infected,” Fauci said Thursday on MSNBC.

Yeah maybe the 22nd could be in person. But they’d need to enforce masks usage by his staff this time.

2nd debate cancelled:

I wonder what the up/down sides are for each candidate:
Biden: "Trump tested positive and was hospitalized with the virus. He's unreasonable and dangerous."
Trump: "Scully is a biased, self-confirmed Never-Trumper. I'm glad it's cancelled because it would never be fair. MAGA, baby!"
Also, most seem to think that Trump did himself more harm than good after the last debate. Minimizing exposure might minimize losses.
Me: "It's 2020. What the hell did you expect?"

Nate Silver:
Our research on primary debates suggested that a debate is equivalent to something like six to 10 days of normal campaigning and news, in terms of how much they move the polls. So it’s as if Trump is taking a week off the clock in an election in which he trails by 10 points.
