Dems warm to Biden’s bunker strategy

[Mycroft]

Did you get stuck in the past?

Nope. I'm looking at the here and now.

 

[lurchadams]

Honestly, Im not worried about November. Biden is not going to win. But you are right about one thing, heads will explode

Sinking poll numbers, the negligence of his addressing the Covid crisis, packing indoor arenas in areas experiencing a spike in cases and hospitalizations? Keep the faith, my man. You're a true believer!

 

[bearpoker]

And liberals are stupid enough to fall for it. The trouble is, it didnt work for Bloomberg and it wont work for Biden. Enjoy it while it lasts

Be quiet. I'm watching the COVID Express.opcorn2: It's my favorite show.

 

[Mycroft]

With the polling numbers Biden's enjoying, he's got it locked in spade - barring a change.

Bogus polls.

It'll be hard to manipulate polls when Biden actually starts campaigning. (if he ever does)

 

[Airyaman]

Nope. I'm looking at the here and now.

Truly?

Biden formally clinches Democratic presidential nomination

 

[lurchadams]

I'm 100% certain he won't hover threateningly behind Joe Biden as he's answering a question. Joe will 'take him out behind the barn'

It was actually, "behind the gym", I believe. Ah, Joe, we laugh at you sometimes but we can't quit you. Good thing your opponent is a raging criminal moron, or we'd be worried about your chances!

 

[Mycroft]

Truly?

Biden formally clinches Democratic presidential nomination

That means nothing. The DNC Elites will be the ones who decide...not the rank and file.

Seriously...have you learned nothing from the last couple Dem campaigns? Hell, just ask Bernie about it.

 

[bearpoker]

I moderately agree with your first point, and strongly agree with your second. Trump has a pretty amazing base that doesn't budge.

That's why we call it a cult.

 

[Airyaman]

That means nothing. The DNC Elites will be the ones who decide...not the rank and file.

Seriously...have you learned nothing from the last couple Dem campaigns? Hell, just ask Bernie about it.

So who are the "DC elites" going to choose to replace Biden?

You are flailing. Slink away and I won't abuse you anymore.

 

[bearpoker]

I can't wait to hear your rationalizations once Biden is formally nominated. It ought to be good. I hope your parallel universe can handle it.

 

[Fiddytree]

Just remember that things need balance, but for years people noticed that when Trump was really in the news, his numbers always took a small, but noticeable hit (because his numbers rarely, if ever moved up).

Biden has to periodically remind everyone what a real leader looks like, but letting Trump be Trump has worked out very well.

I was worried that Biden would be an HRC 2.0. There's many similarities, including his laying-low while Trump takes political hits. But as I look at the numbers, I'm starting to think Biden might be on to something.

Biden's poll numbers vs Trump are constantly improving, Trump's negative approval disparity is constantly increasing, competitive GOP Senate seats are leaning Bluer, and the Generic Congressional Ballot keeps edging further Dem.

A tact of laying low makes me nervous as hell, but it does seem to be working for now. As is stated above in my OP, "Trump is running against Trump". I'd add, "And it seems he's losing!".

Biden is following an old political axiom. If your opponent is losing the election all on his own, don't interfere.

There is absolutely no comparison between Biden and HRC other than the fact that both have years of experience in government.

Biden is not being investigated by the FBI. Throughout the entire 2016 campaign, voters knew Clinton was being investigated by the FBI. She was even forced to make a statement on national television at a FBI hearing.

Vladimir Putin wanted Trump to be our next President, and his government hacked into the DNC computers. The result: a daily four-month barrage of information released to the public that was extremely damaging to the Clinton campaign. That is not likely to happen to Biden.

Clinton had enormous baggage to haul around during her campaign. Her nomination was an error by the DNC. Biden is pretty clean, very little baggage except for a habit of making gaffes.

If Biden is not being investigated by the FBI, then what happened to Clinton can't happen to him. Eleven days before the election, the FBI director, James Comey, reopened the investigation into Clinton. Her strong lead in the polls melted away during the following week.

A couple of days before the election, Comey had a "sorry about that," it was all a big mistake, and he closed the investigation again. As we all know, Trump won the election.

So, there are enormous differences between Biden and HRC. Trump won't luck out again.

Besides, after 3 1/2 years of the Trump administration, he is so bad his followers ignore him. They are unable to defend him. Trump is that bad.

Parroting Trump doesn't make what you say any truer. Political lanes exist for a reason, and it was clear that the preference for a center and center-left lane over a left lane was substantial.

But we know why you're saying this, because of some silly belief that running socialist Doc Brown for you was preferable to a relatively plain, quiet Democrat.

Everybody know who Biden is. He has no reason to get out on the trail and make his case. And Trump proves on a daily basis, without any help from Biden, that he is just not up to the job. Biden makes enough appearances to keep a steady hand on the wheel.

 

[Bullseye]

Yeah, I have to admit, the less I see of Biden, the less I dislike him.

 

[Slavister]

That's an interesting thought, but here's two counterpoints:

1. I don't think it's so much of a move born out of some shrewd political strategy but born out of necessity. Biden is laying low because he has to. Every time he pokes his head out he says something stupid and people are also reminded just how deteriorated Biden's mental capacity has become. Him laying low lets people forget about him not being able to remember what decade he's in and also keeps him from saying more stupid stuff.

2. It's telling that it has taken such extreme events to derail Trump. It has taken an unprecedented shutdown of the economy to bring the Trump train of an economy to a halt. Also, it has taken giant social unrest, with the help of the media pointing fingers at Trump, to bring even more instability. The crazy part with the second issue is that Trump literally has almost zero to do with police and it has been, in fact, almost solely in Democrat controlled areas where these issues have occurred.

The left is purposefully sown social and economic turmoil, with reckless disregard to who it affects and to what affect it comes to in the end, just to get Trump out of office.

I moderately agree with your first point, and strongly agree with your second. Trump has a pretty amazing base that doesn't budge.

I strongly disagree with second point - Trump had a choice on how to react to social unrest. He chose NOT to acknowledge the racism and concentrate his energy on the 1% rioters rather than 99% peaceful protesters. Gassing them for a photo op did not help either. So no, Trump made his own bed.

Regarding first bullet, I moderately agree as well but would also point out Trump is in similar situation. He could shut up any time on a lot of things but he just can't help himself to come out of his bunker. At least Biden shows better restrain in that regard. Fishking's point very well applies to Trump: "Every time he pokes his head out he says something stupid and people are also reminded just how deteriorated Biden's Trump's mental capacity has become always been."

Bernie is weak. He was cheated then pushed aside, and doesn't have the courage to call out the crooked, UNdemocratic process.

Biden appears to have adopted the “Never interrupt your enemy when he’s making a mistake” strategy. Obviously it’s working.

Actually, I think the FBI is investigating Burisma. Barr's justice department is so tainted now that nobody cares any more about investigations so it doesn't matter. Everything Trump touches turns to ****. He's sort of an Anti-Midas. :mrgreen:

Biden's poll numbers aren't improving. Trumps is just declining. Joe is stuck at 50%

Biden has no strategy. He is a ventriloquist dummy that needs it's adult diaper change several times a day.

No one with a working brain actually believes Creepy Joe or any other Democrat is an electoral threat to Trump.

Right now there are a lot of Trump hating people in the media faking polls to maximize the effects of the virus hysteria and riots.

But the real Folks are watching Dems destroy their own cities and purposely tank the economy with disgust.

Trump has not lost a single vote from 2016 and he has gained millions.

 

[vesper]

If I were a Biden supporter, I would be real concerned over the fact the longer this unrest continues in streets across this country, the lawlessness and the calls to defund the police, by the leftist wing of the Democrat party aka known as the Biden Bolsheviks good luck being successful in garnering the votes of those in the suburbs. Because people are tired of this happy horse **** in Democratic strongholds across this country. And that sentiment goes beyond party lines.

[Chomsky]

Are you worried about trump and Barr's "October surprise"? The trump criminal enterprise has lost so much credibility I don't think whatever the scum come up with with have much credibility!

I predict the following from the administration:

1] Political DOJ indictments of many

2] Big-time stimulus

3] "We have a vaccine!"
