More and more some people want Joe Biden to get up and slug it out with Donald Trump….
I said that once….
Forget it….
I was wrong….
Joe Biden needs to KEEP DOING what he’s doing right now….
Do almost daily laying out of what he things should be done against Trump’s chaotic actions in office….
And….
Let the media spotlight STAY on Trump, who, in a alternate universe , is ignoring or actually scaring 60% of Americans and the rest of the world…
Most of us are tired on the Donald Trump stage act and are praying for a quiet President Biden to relax our jitters for the Trump dog and pony show, featuring illegal , not listening and playing crarzy assed daily throw downs….
Plain Joe Biden IS enough….
Plenty….
Nate Zimdars, a Democratic candidate for the Wisconsin State Assembly, arrived at the V.F.W. lodge here after marching in the local Independence Day parade, ready to meet voters at an annual outdoor chicken cookout called the “Chic Nic.” Although the event was hosted by the local Republican Party, Mr. Zimdars was far from nervous being behind enemy lines. He was eager.
The county flipped from blue to red in 2016, Mr. Zimdars noted, which meant it could flip again. Plus, national Democrats had done him a favor — they chose former Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. for the top of their ticket.
“Biden comes across as someone who’s moderate and has experience on both sides of the aisle,” Mr. Zimdars said. “My close family and friends, who are a little more on the Republican side of the fence, said if Biden became the nominee they would vote for him.”
Such persuasion is at the core of Mr. Biden’s campaign strategy, designed to bring together moderates, seniors, working-class voters across races and former supporters of President Trump. The approach has helped him jump out to an early lead in polling, both in national surveys and in swing states like Wisconsin, where Mr. Trump won by less than 23,000 votes in 2016. It has also helped him fend off attacks from Mr. Trump, who has sought to cast Mr. Biden as a radical progressive despite his lengthy career as a moderate lawmaker.
But if Mr. Biden hopes to maintain his advantage as November draws near, Wisconsin Democrats like Mr. Zimdars have some advice, akin to the famous medical principle of “do no harm,” or the cautionary words of the hit HBO series “The Wire”: “Keep it boring.”
Being politically milquetoast is Mr. Biden’s appeal, they said, driving his ability to attract progressives in Milwaukee, moderates in suburbs like Waukesha and more rural voters in places like Adams County, one of the 22 counties in the state that voted for Mr. Trump after backing President Barack Obama in 2012.
They don’t lament that Mr. Biden is not a historic candidate like Mr. Obama or Hillary Clinton, or that he lacks bumper-sticker progressive policies like Senators Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders — they’re grateful for it…..

Biden Plans to Troll Trump’s Fox Interview
Joe Biden’s campaign bought ads in swing states tomorrow during Chris Wallace’s feisty “Fox News Sunday” interview with President Trump, Axios reports.
The minute-long ad, “Tough,” will air in the major markets in the six core swing states — Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Arizona, Florida and North Carolina.
The ad never mentions Trump’s name, but the intention is a stark, dramatic contrast in approach to the virus, laced with a positive, hopeful message.

As of right now, I don’t consider Pennsylvania a swing state for this election. Biden is made to win Pennsylvania. Down the road, I would be more concerned about Other states. But for now, it won’t hurt to campaign there.

Agreed on Pa

The only person I have heard that thought Biden should “slug it out with Trump” is you – although you now admit you were wrong.
If your post is a response to my comment that I was pleased that Biden is being more visible lately, then you misinterpreted what I meant. Biden would lose a slug fest. In the meantime, Trump is losing support effectively on his own. For now, Biden only needs to prove that he is healthy and aware and that he would do things differently and support science. He is doing that.

Heck ?
At this rate?
Biden just has show up at the debates and smile and he should win…

It was a little before even my hoary old time (I was an infant in London in 1952 and a third-grader in Providence in 1956), but how did I-like-Ike win over Adlai Stevenson after 5 successive Democratic presidential victories?
