economy is in tatters. The party in power always gets blamed. This isn't 2016, it is 2008 with the additional horror of a pandemic...and a president who has killed over 50,000 people in 30 days or so. God knows how many will die before November. Ohio now has millions laid off in Ohio. It is increasingly likely that Trump will lose Ohio, Florida and maybe even Georgia. It was a really bad sign for him when the Democrat won the judgeship a couple of weeks ago in Wisconsin also. We may be looking at a landslide...maybe it will be like 1932 where we won 12 Senate seats and 97 house seats and the presidency by a landslide.

With all of Trump's Three Stooges imitations this week, all Biden has to do is stare at Trump like the Road Runner from the other side of the chasm, while Trumpy Coyote rushes to attack him, forgetting that between them, there is a half mile span with a 3000 foot drop straight down.

Live-streamed entertainment to celebrate the anniversary of his campaign and an invitation to commit to doing something positive, with a suggested list.

I'm afraid we fudged our contribution by just having our next-door neighbors on both sides bring their dinners over to sit properly apart in lawn chairs and mostly badmouth Trump and the Republicans. Liberal Democratic bonding's a contribution, not just a pleasure, right?

To come out like a house afire after the convention.

Biden should be able to build a successful campaign based upon the President's own words and own images.

For his incompetence, gross mismanagement, lack of leadership and foresight.

The media might seem to be hitting Trump back now, but they will continue to give Trump a long leash. If you define your opponent, he will eventually change the narrative and define it himself. Never underestimate your opponent and never stop going on the attack. People have short memories.

...he just held this: https://go.joebiden.com/page/s/take-action-soul-saturday/?source=Website-Banner-soulsaturday



Tonight, we’re hosting a #SOULSaturday rally to celebrate the one-year anniversary of our campaign! Join us at 7 PM ET: http://JoeBiden.com/Live



He has a newsletter, podcast, ads going and a regular video address to supporters.

Podcast: https://joebiden.com/heres-the-deal/




Is the media inviting him on? NO. They didn't hesitate to play Trump's ignorance+hate rallies though, wherein he tells Americans to inject disinfectants.

But BIDEN has been very busy.

WHAT YOU CAN DO: Spread the links to his virtual events, podcast, weekly address FAR & WIDE.

Joe isn't "too quiet" -- WE ARE.

At this particular time, I also admire Biden's ability to step back and let trump make mistakes this obvious without needing to comment on them. I so look forward to the day when Biden can act. We will all be so much better off.

In the last couple of weeks he has had two interviews on late nite shows. He has tweeted at least once.

I don't know what else he has done but likely more than I have seen.

I literally rise an set with the sun. The last TV of the day I watch is the 6:30 news. That is why I am near 70 and don't look a day over 85.

Hopefully by the Fall the battle will happen during my day.

By that I mean, our habits are different and that determines our news and information.

What is important is that the campaign targets the right places and gets the info out there. We also have to do our part and understand whether we have all the pieces. Or just the pieces that some people, especially the opposition want us to have.
