...adds, in my opinion, a measure of gravitas that makes them more appealing to the undecided voter.

I'm still adjusting to COVID silence in presentations such as this.

They can be spaced apart and you would have a back and forth discussion about different issues. We often see it on the Senate floor when those on the same side will ask each other questions they probably know the answer to but it's more to offer an understanding to the public.

(45,020 posts)I'd be happy if it was more like a Zoom call. No need to set it up like an auditorium. We're all here on the other side of the glass. It could be intimate and effective. And something Trump wouldn't dare do.

2018 showed what high Dem turnout did to the GOP, they got slaughtered in the House, this will be the same, nobody will show up to vote FOR Trump, like they voted AGAINST Clinton. Voter apathy will hit Trump hard, nobody will risk their health to stand in the rain in Nov to vote FOR him, and no rallies means his show is over, its all about appearance with him, anyway.
Plunging support amongst the independents and voter apathy in the suburbs will turn all the swing states blue, ayep, there's not a gun left on the shelves, they already wiped out the nation's ammo supply, so surburbia says it will take care of itself, they don't need the tweeting idiot to save them now, lol

(3,635 posts)These are serious times and the Dem ticket presents two very qualified and determined people who will get it done.
The masks, the distancing, etc - all showed how much they take the pandemic (and thus the lives of the American people) seriously.
And both speeches were great - not too long but covered all the bases.
