Interesting op-ed in the NYT by
Obama campaign bigwigs Axelrod
and Plouff, Pluff, or whatever his
name is. They say if Biden wants
to have a chance of beating
Trump, he has to do things the
opposite of what he's doing now.

He has to put himself out there
everyday. Like Trump did in 16.
He has to go on radio shows, on
TV shows, do tons of interviews
even if they're from his basement.
He has to get some energy, like
Bernie has. He has to have better
ads that do things other than
attack Trump. He has to generate
some excitement for his campaign,
because right now he has none.
He holds a virtual townhall on
the internet and 1700 people
watch it. Pitiful.

In other words, be anybody but
the liver spotted gonna be 78
years old senile low energy
elderly rest home specimen that
he is. Good luck with that.


Link? Can’t find it on the NYT site.

I’d rather read the real thing than EB’s misleading spin.

Never heard of a recommendation to change what you're doing while you're still ahead. Sounds dumb to me. I don't have a sub to NYTimes though, so unless it pops up elsewhere.

Trumps the one who needs a strategy right now.

Ahead? Maybe in liberals imagination. Same way Hillary was.

I posted my prediction a while ago that Biden would never debate Trump.

May not need to but not for reasons you think
prediction
The economy going south, deaths going north
In the end
Trump will be begging to debate

If anyone tries to cancel the debates it would be Donny having a hissyfit over who the moderators are.

That was mentioned. Hillary was farther
ahead of Trump in the polls on this
exact date 4 years ago. She was the front
runner every day, by far, right up
till election day. Yet people here will
tout the polls every day, like
they really mean anything this far
out.
If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose.

Like Limbaugh says, polls are now made to make news, not to report it. The lamestream media that sponsors the polls has lost all credibility so why should the polls have any. Anyone can clearly see Trump's base is as strong as ever.

I'm not sure what some people are rooting for...the virus or the basement guy.

I do notice some people that know everything Trump supposedly did wrong in the fight against the virus and can't remember a darn thing anyone on the other side did wrong.

I know some seem to be rooting for not letting a crisis go to waste....and maybe for it not to end too soon?

We need to get back to work!!

Lol... this is such a weak deflection. No one on the other side was President this year. No one on the other side was ignoring their daily briefings. No one on the other side was downplaying the threat, when they had been told the opposite - lying that soon 15 cases would go down to close to 0.

On the contrary, I think going back to work too soon could be GREAT for Donny’s opponents. All the righties and Fox News personalities who pushed for everything to open back up prematurely are gonna own the consequences when the curve shoots back up and we have to shut everything down again in a couple of months (which - btw - will be closer to the election and will give Donny less time to dig out of his ever deepening hole).
