Team trump still visiously attacking Biden while Biden pulls negative ads.

In statements and advertising. Expect it to increase.

Yet team Biden feels the need to disarm, cancelling all 'negative' ads with the aim of impressing the DC press corps.

I hope they know what they're doing.

Of course Biden has many positive ads that he can continue running until he decides to punch back.

I wouldn't fall for this, tRump is a sneaky SOB.

I wonder if Mary Trump will shed some light on this. Like say this is all a set-up.

On Trump.

Let Joe focus on the issues. He will decide to re-air them if Team Trump gets nasty.

Trump getting Covid-19 speaks volumes about how he has handled the pandemic. Hammer on the economy, healthcare and how Joe will help on these issues will help with the few undecideds i think.

will turn off voters when the President of the United States has been hospitalized with COVID. Choose your battles. Plus, there are ways to slam Trump and his admin but in a "nice" way. Point out their handling of the coronavirus and educate voters as to WHY IT DIDN'T NEED TO BE THIS WAY.

He is trying to unite not divide, and reach out to everyone, even magat shitheads. That is what a real President does.

Besides, THP and Meidas Touch and all the other freelance PACS are still going strong.
