A Total Disconnect

Old Joe Biden held a town hall event online about the corona virus two days ago.  He had doctors and nurses and first responders there to speak, but it was mostly Joe, Joe and more Joe.  He's trying to be relevant in the midst of the corona virus crisis.

According to the statistics shown during the Biden Town Hall event, he had fewer than 1000 people watching on line 15 minutes into the event.  Biden's staff had tweeted and emailed their millions of followers about the event.  They got fewer than 1000 views.

The average daily briefing by Trump and his staff on the virus gets an audience of well over ten million according to Nielsen.  Actually, if you look at the numbers for the day of Biden's town hall, Trump got over twenty thousand viewers for each person who tuned in to see Biden.  Simple put, no one is watching Biden or cares what he thinks.

Compare this to the latest polls on the Biden/Trump race for the presidency.  Those polls still have Biden in the lead by something between 3 and 7 percent.

The lack of any audience for Biden and his lead in the polls make no sense.  My guess is that when it comes down to actually voting, Trump will triumph.  There's an old saying, "you can't beat somebody with nobody".  It really seems applicable here.
