1. I think Trump is kind of baffled about what to do here now, he's a salesman not a politician,never learned the trade

2. I completely disagree. Biden needs to go on the headline back burner so Trump's awfulness returns to the front page.

Exposure is king. Name recognition is it. This is why never mention the competition. Because it ends up being for them. That's how advertising works.

4. Look at the past 10 days. It's been nothing but Biden while Trump has been invisible.

Biden has been and continues to be raked over the coals in the press while Trump gets a free pass because the media is not talking about his awful policies and his own health issues.

The press is not spinning anything positive about either candidate. Since they are focused only on the negative, we need the opponent’s negatives to be in the spotlight and not our own.

Maybe people will actually pay attention to what he's saying!

Trump sucks the air out of the room.

the more Joe shows what has done and that he is engaged and healthy, the better.
Also, the concerns about Joe, will provide Kamala with a much brighter spotlight.
