The CNN Interview

I sat this morning and watched the 11-minute video of CNN's Anderson Cooper trying to interview Joe Biden.  It's probably about 8 to 10 hours old at this point. 

So three observations:

1.  There are at least ten occasions over the interview where you can see Joe looking at some monitor....as if he was getting advice on how to answer the question. 

Maybe he was looking at some dog in the corner, or gazing at some carpet stain on basement floor....but it was obvious that he was focused on something away from the camera.

It doesn't detract from his interview, but it makes you ask questions.

2.  Cooper's questions?  Fairly simple....nothing that a 2nd year college student couldn't handle. 

3.  At the end of the 11 minutes, I simply couldn't imagine 90 minutes of this type of activity, in a debate with Trump....with Joe on his own without a connection to the handlers.  It wasn't that way in 2008 or 2012, so it begs questions if Joe is really prepared for this election.
