GOP Fears Biden’s Low-Key Campaign Is Working
June 19, 2020 at 8:06 am EDT By Taegan Goddard


“Joe Biden hasn’t held a press conference in 77 days but Democrats aren’t feeling much pressure to put the presumptive nominee front and center at the moment,” The Hill reports.

“Biden has, for the most part, kept a low profile throughout the coronavirus pandemic and weeks of demonstrations for racial justice across the country. Over that time, Biden has built up a healthy lead in the polls and emerged as the heavy favorite for now to be the next president.”

“Meanwhile, Republicans have watched with growing alarm as President Trump’s polling numbers have fallen to frightening new lows for an incumbent.”

It firms up that 25% base he has, it makes him feel special, but the country is going to see him behaving more extreme in an environment with a bunch of lunatics, none of whom will be wearing masks.

The country is looking for something calming, Trump is about to deliver more circus.

Dignified vs bombastic
smiling vs scowling
kind and empathetic vs indifferent, etc, etc

Joe doesn't have to do much more than show people what a President should look and sound like.
