Comments by "SK ONTHEROAD" (@skontheroad2666) on "'(Democrats) may have to do a virtual convention' amid coronavirus: Joe Biden | ABC News" video.

Time delay due to the fact that it is being done via skype/zoom. You hear the same delay on news reports when the anchor "goes to the reporter on the scene".

@K71421 Absolutely! At this point, I think we can all agree, it goes without saying (except for almost every Democrat in the Nation) that Joe Biden has dementia, to some degree. He is completely unfit to be President. At this point, that is more frightening than the Coronavirus! I still don't understand how every reporter--people like Anderson Cooper, Rachel Maddow and even George Stephanopoulos, who consider themselves tough, investigate journalists--can still give him a free pass each interview and continue to let him ramble on, confused, using these delays as a tool to help him get through the interview. It seems Biden's team have finally gotten him to understand the delay so he doesn't keep talking when he is done with his sound byte, which was getting him into trouble before. But any seasoned politician knows from countless interviews, there is always a 10 second delay (at a minimum). The fact that he is just getting that now is, in itself, embarrassing. Go back and watch some of the older interviews from his basement. Or the first town hall, that was an epic disaster. There is something wrong with all of this.... I suppose we will see what the Dems are playing at soon enough.

@johnnytorres277 They are over satellite. It is a standard delay.

@teresaareces4995 That would be smart! LOL! Too bad they can't do it that way (I am sure they thought of it, or even tried)! But it would be way too confusing!!!

@Mike Siler1 I recently have been using YouTube as my go-to for info as I have been tracking this virus all over the world since January due to work. I often get caught up in the comments section bc it amazes me how much common knowledge and information just goes right over people's heads. I have 4 teenagers and they are better informed than most! It scares me for the future of our country.... (not to mention when I watch International news in other languages and read what they say about us as Americans! Thanks goodness that Biden isn't all over the news these days!!)

@Mike Siler1 While many want Trump out of office, until Biden names his running mate (who will be whom you are actually voting for), it isn't really a discussion. As much as you may want Trump out, would you really feel safe with Biden in office? Would you honestly feel that voting for Biden is a responsible use of your vote? There were some very capable Democratic nominees. How did we get here? Talk about a bait and switch. I do not trust the Democratic party right now. Regardless how ridiculous Trump sounds. Now, if I could only figure out how to submit my PPP application.....

@Mike Siler1 IF Biden wins... remember back when you said we would be fine for one term... you may not be familiar with dementia but that is an eternity away for someone battling the disease. Especially when your job involves meetings all day long, decision making on behalf of an entire country, and very little sleep to go with it (and that is all on a good day, with no stress and in one time zone). If Biden actually had to fly around the country and campaign, this would be a very different conversation....

@johnnytorres277 That is just the way it is done... it is broadcast all over the world and pings off of a secure satellite. But with the security, comes a delay. Just how it is set up....

@johnnytorres277 It is great that you have a strong, stable connection and enough bandwidth to get done what you need to, wherever you live. However, certain people, like reporters/news agencies, can't count on a wonky connection or needing to report from somewhere still running on 2G, or somewhere where there is no internet at all. Security concerns aside, a satellite uplink is much more reliable than everyday, standard internet, so that is what they use.

@Mike Siler1 Interesting you bring up the supreme court. I just the other day gave my girls (one who will be able to vote starting tomorrow) a lesson in Roe v Wade and how we can never let that be overturned. As well as a lesson on the difference between pro-life and pro-choice. And that even though we vote conservatively, and they understand why, there are a few things that we will not abide. A vote for the right does not necessarily mean that we agree with everything they stand for. Just as even though we support Trump (largely for personal reasons), we do not agree with everything he does, says, or stands for.
