Biden's invisible campaign is winning

[RandySF]

What's the point: A lot of Democrats have been hankering for Biden to try and get out to be more part of the daily media conversation. The latest numbers suggest that these voices are likely wrong. Biden's proving that the less media he receives, the better it is for his electoral prospects.

Over the last month and a half, Trump has had the political spotlight shone on him. He's had daily press conferences that the media has extensively covered. Meanwhile, Biden's struggling to attract much of an audience as he is stuck at home.

You can see this really well in media mentions in the top paragraph of stories, as measured by NewsLibrary.com. Four years ago from March 20 to April 20, Trump had about 65% of the mentions between Hillary Clinton and him. This year during the same period, Trump's gotten about 90% of the coverage dedicated to Biden or him. That is, Biden's turned a 2:1 disadvantage into a 9:1 disadvantage.

You would think that this would be a disaster for Biden. It's not happening.

These swing state polls suggest that Biden is in an improved position in the swing states than he was before the coronavirus pandemic took hold. They echo presidential approval rating polls, which show that Trump lost the ground he initially picked up as the crisis has gone on. As I noted last week, Trump had the shortest rally around the flag event in modern presidential history.

1. I think just sitting back and watching trump get all of the air time is his best campaign move.

The moment trump opens his dripping shit hole he gets Biden's point across.

4. The Saying That You Shouldn't Interrupt Your Opponent When He's Imploding Seems Appropriate

I always thought Trump's daily briefings would be his undoing. I knew the more Americans saw him up close and personal some of them would see how mad and ignorant he is. The voices calling for CNN and MSNBC to stop televising his daily clusterf**k sessions were wrong it seems.

2. Yeah the more they see trump the more they

know what a tragic substitute he is for a human being.

Biden hasn't been exactly "invisible", either.. Been making some brilliant Ads. They kinda get lost around here, though.. with all the crap trump tweets.

6. You're Right He Isn't Invisible if People Would Just Bother to Look

Campaigning is different in the Corona Virus era but folks can't seem to grasp that.

8. They want to drag on Joe Biden one

way or another.

I've seen too much of this.. this morning.

3. Biden is on enough to loom

That is all he needs right now.

The thing is 2016 Trump was just a possibility and everyone could read into him a lot of what they wanted. Now he is a reality ad that just isn't possible.
