Biden is running a brilliant campaign.

[spooky3]

He’s following the old adage about not getting in the way of a train wreck, and the Trump train just keeps wrecking.

He makes clear and on target public statements from time to time. Meanwhile, he is spending much less money and energy than he would have to in normal times, and there are fewer risks of gaffes, etc., for the media to pounce on with their double standards. And, donations are rolling in, he’s probably spending more time with potential donors behind the scenes than normal, and I have no doubt many more $ will come in as Election Day approaches. I dislike the system but he has to play it well to win.

And the polls keep looking good for him...

[Shermann]

1. He just needs to shore up the coastline defenses for the next swift boat attack

Tara Reade seems to be swimming back out to sea, so that's good.

[Demsrule86]

24. Tara who?

[Star-Thrower]

30. Odd and funny

I was just thinking about her yesterday and wondered about her twitter feed..meant to check it to see what she's been posting. Didn't get around to it. Anyone else keeping track of her? I still believe someone paid for her to come out with what she said after so many years of remaining silent. Follow the money!

[GemDigger]

32. She has a new gofundme out. Some will be donated and

the rest is for her legal bills.

[BComplex]

2. He needs to take it easy while he can, because come January, he's got a plate full!

I hope more than anything that he's in the white house come January!

[wryter2000]

4. I'll bet he'll get a lot of help from

Someone named Obama

[spooky3]

7. Probably two Obamas nt

[kevink077]

25. Maybe one as VP?

I know that is a pipe dream though...

[spooky3]

27. Yeah...I know someone who worked for her when he

Was in office, and that person said “no way” would Ms. Obama run for any office. Apparently, she disliked politics as much as many people do, but just happened to be extremely good at it.

[SunSeeker]

3. The contrast between Biden's humble, hopeful messages and Trump's Klan rallies is so stark.

It acts like a Biden ad itself.

[Thekaspervote]

5. +1000

[SeattleVet]

6. Outstanding strategy. We should call it "Biden our time!"

Let tRump finish taking down his own campaign and the rest of the GOP with him, while we sit back and watch them destroy themselves.


“In that case,” said Napoleon, “let us wait twenty minutes; when the enemy is making a false movement we must take good care not to interrupt him.”

[spooky3]

9. I love it!!!!! "Biden Our Time" nt

[oldsoftie]

33. Yes! Trump cant STAND that Biden doesnt even have to campaign & he's up 12 points.

This is WAY too early for celebration though.

The large majority of people dont even pay attention to any of this shit until mid October.

[mcar]

8. His ad game is great, too

[spooky3]

10. Meanwhile Trump is squandering bucketsful of ad $ in the DC metro

Area. No way is he going to win DC, MD, or VA.

[mcar]

11. I read that

He couldn't stand seeing DC media be negative about him so he made his campaign run ads.

[kimbutgar]

16. I actually saw a MF45 ad in blue liberal SF the other day.

And I got a robocall to donate to him .

They are getting desperate to prop him up.

[spooky3]

18. Amazing. His big donors must be illegally taking

deductions for what they are giving him.

[leftieNanner]

19. Well, Parscale has to make it look like he's doing SOMETHING

for all those millions he is paying himself!

[kimbutgar]

20. Yup that's what I thought when I saw the commercial

[Dem2theMax]

26. I saw an anti-Biden ad last night when I was watching a rerun

of Grant on the History Channel.

I thought that it was a really weird placement, considering that Grant helped us win the Civil War.

But if Trump wants to waste his money, go right ahead!

[SeattleVet]

34. They're also spending a shit-ton of cash on ads in other very red areas.

Got to keep their (very 'base') base energized and make it look like they're doing something.

[kimbutgar]

35. MF45 is going to be a hard turd to polish to change voters minds.

[unblock]

12. Actual news is death to Donnie's only political strategy

Donnie's political career depends on being able to dominate the media with his twisted version of reality. In 2016, we weren't in a crisis, so the media was more than happy to cover made-up Hillary scandals and Donnie's self-promotion.

In 2020, however, there's a pandemic, a major recession, protests, supply chain problems, etc.

Too much real news means not enough airtime for Donnie to flood our attention with his warped defining of his opponent or himself, and it finally gets challenged. The economy is in shambles, there's too much of a gap between Donnie's boasting and reality.

His shtick doesn't work anymore.

[Dream Girl]

15. Good point! It worked ok when nothing much was going on. Now, not so much...

[gratuitous]

13. The best way to tell his campaign is working

All the unsolicited advice he's getting from Fox and Trump. They are unanimous in complaining about Biden's campaign and its tactics, which signals to me that it's working. Their own polling is telling Fox and Trump just how effective Biden is being, and they're getting more and more desperate to knock him off his message. But this isn't Biden's first rodeo.

[Sucha NastyWoman]

14. I'll give him all I'm legally allowed to donate, if I need to

But just for once I’d like to see moneyNOT be a factor.

[erronis]

21. Agree. And I'd like to not see the media moguls reap rewards by promoting disunity.

They all profit from dissension. Even our own bubbles.

[Mr.Bill]

17. Yes he is.

The fact that he was confronted with a situation that no one else ever has been, and he is handling it perfectly is reason enough to vote for him.

[Demsrule86]

22. +1000 K&R

[spooky3]

28. Thank you!

[bucolic_frolic]

23. And the public will perceive his message as new and well thought out

and by the way from everything he says he understands Trump's personality and will go head to head with him

[ucrdem]

29. And when Barack and Michelle hit the airwaves

it's going to get even better!

[eissa]

31. I'd like to see better ads

I think the Lincoln Project has done far better ads. Trump has provided so much material, his own words could so easily be used against him, particularly in a mocking way, which we know triggers him more than anything.

I appreciate Biden’s presidential tone, something that has been sorely lacking and much needed. But taking a few sharp jabs would be good, too.

[FakeNoose]

36. I like how Joe is letting Lincoln Project do the anti-Trump nasty stuff

He can come in later with the pro-Biden "good guy" stuff. That's actually a good strategy.
