Election 2020

[Teenwolf]

Joe Biden advisers' want Biden to "scale back" his public exposure to limit gaffes... yikes. Trump jumped all over it. Strange too, Biden was already campaigning with "limited visibility", doing less than half the number of events held by other candidates (10 events in 6 weeks to Bernie 25, Warren 23). He's also had his wife doing events for him and with him, which is just bizarre. If Bernie's wife showed up to speak at a Bernie rally during the primary?... it's all very worrisome. Or if you believe he's a loser to Trump like I do, then this is very encouraging news.

It's pretty clear that Biden is losing momentum, which I agree is encouraging. Warren and Sanders both trending up which is great.

You don't run out the clock in the middle of the 2nd quarter.

I think the moderates in the Democratic Party would be very wise to migrate to another candidate. I have long thought Biden was the best option for beating Trump, but I think I was mistaken in that belief. He has some serious issues that go beyond policy and I don’t think artificially propping him up or trying to hide them isn’t the right play. Plenty of time to get behind another moderate if you believe that’s the best way to beat Trump.

Great reporting...thwap.

“A lot of people are nervous that he’s lost some of his mojo,” said one major Democratic donor. “They’re getting nervous about him going toe to toe with Trump. But the problem is, there doesn’t seem to be an alternative.”

Unless, you're in the two minute warning, and want to regroup for the second half. I'm not saying Biden is a sure thing, but he's a very known commodity. Limiting risk is a smart choice by his camp. It will all be interesting once the actual primaries start, and hopefully, we can get down to 4-5 actual candidates in the Democratic Party. Hopefully those five will be a spectrum from moderate to liberal.

Who should that be? The only other moderate with any significant traction is Harris, and she's been exposed herself.

I don't think there are clear moderate boxes, but if Biden were convinced to drop out of the race I could potentially see his supporters going to Buttigieg or Klobuchar. I just don't know that he'd drop out.

I wish Amy Klobuchar would step up her game, and stop with the MN Nice and attack the other candidates. Very disappointing!

I think most folks would consider Buttigieg, Klobuchar, Harris and Bullock as moderates. YMMV. Maybe Some others

Speaking of gaffes, the article doesn't say "advisers" but says "allies" -- as in his 'friends'. That's a big difference than what you wrote. It says his allies are floating the idea to his campaign officials.

In any case, yes, he has to try and tone down the flubs. But again, you can't keep pushing down the aged Biden while pushing up the ancient Sanders as some new kid on the block.

Sanders seems to be able to get thru a public event without drooling on himself....Biden? Not so much.

I wasn't trying to mislead. Besides, his actual advisers had talked about a "limited exposure campaign" months ago, so they've already put into place the strategy his allies are pushing for here.

Pretty bad sign when all of your biggest supporters are saying "we want to see less of you".

It's not great, no. But at this point I can only see Warren overtaking him, and she's going to have a million Pocahontas tweets leveled at her head by the dipshit.
