In an interview with NBC News’ Hallie Jackson, the vice president said her campaign has the "resources and the expertise" to handle a challenge from Trump.

    Biden can just have anyone executed who is out of line. Not sure why everyone is acting so afraid.

    So happy she is the candidate. Biden would actively prevent his team from planning for this scenario claiming no need due to tradition and decorum

      I’m glad she’s the candidate too, but you’re just making up a scenario in your head based on no evidence.

    I hope they put in extra security measures. A lot of foreign nations have stakes here, a lot of mentally ill people are too agitated for their own good and Trump’s gonna die before accepting he’s lost to a woman.

    It’s reassuring to hear they know Trump is going to go all in on fuckery at the end, and actually have a plan to stop another insurrection

      That’s not what I heard.
      “We’ve got two weeks to go, and I’m very much grounded in the present. We will deal with election night and the days after as they come, and we have the resources and the expertise and the focus on that as well”

      She’s saying they have a bunch of capable people who’ll figure it out on the fly.
      That’s called improvising. Improvising is exactly the opposite of a plan. It’s what you do when you have no plan.

        Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face - Mike Tyson (I think that’s how he said it)

        It’s also called being ready for anything. It’s what you do when you aren’t entirely sure what the idiot on the other side is going to do.

        The world’s best swordsman isn’t afraid of the second best swordsman. He’s afraid of the world’s worst swordsman, cause he can never be sure what the idiot will do.

        Same principle.

          No it’s not.
          Being ready for anything is having a plan for anything.

          When you can’t know what your opponent might do, you can’t plan. That’s exactly why the best swordsman is afraid of the worst. He’s forced to go without a plan.

            How can anyone be ready for anything if this is the definition.

            Being prepared for anything is about having the skills and tools to solve any problem, any time. On the fly.

            A good general isn’t one who relies on his plan surviving contact with the enemy, it is the one who knows it won’t and is able to respond appropriately and timely.
