Biden leans into Obama identification

13. Sorry, I don't follow.

I think you are thinking I’m being critical of Obama, so I’ll answer that.

I’m not. I might not have made my point clear. I think it is bad for Joe Biden, or any Democrat, to make that the center of their campaign. It’s only smart for Biden because that’s his best card.

Any Democrat will be more stable than the sack of weasels we have now. Obama was stable. Hopefully voters recognize that.

But you can’t campaign on, “look at all the awesome stuff Obama did.” I think most voters expect some vision of the future, not the past.

Biden can’t win with, “Look at this awesome guy I worked with.” Those handlers who are saying make the campaign about Obama are just wrong. Ultimately Obama isn’t on the ballot.

Additionally, I’m not sure evoking Obama will bring back white men who thought things were so bad that they voted for Trump. Obviously those guys Biden is supposed to bring in we’re seriously displeased with the Democrats.

I argue you win them with a vision of a better future, not an appeal to the past.

If Iguessed the wrong question there, just restate it.
