    Didn't listen to much of Sanders' remarks, but -- these days -- those dropping out "suspend their campaign" -- which has some election law implications, I believe, involving raising money and keeping money collected. Also, as mentioned, enables candidate to remain on ballots.

    Very sorry to hear you're going through a very difficult battle!

    I strongly agree, politics should not breed hatred. IMO, our extreme political divide is destroying many of America's greatest assets. It's pathetic that we need a horrible disaster to get people to finally reach across the aisle and help each other. Most are great at seeing why the other side is wrong, but terrible at seeing why their side also needs substantial change. United we stand.

    I am on several hunting and fishing sites, and trust me, there it's not even close.. I just hope whoever wins we can be civil to each other when it's over.

    Huh? I saw Biden do an hour-long town hall on CNN last week and he has done extensive interviews on CNN and MSNBC in recent days. His social media team is active on Twitter. What more do you expect him to be doing given the times we are currently in?
    Why are you wasting time here when you could be wasting it by listening to the latest episode of the DBR Podcast?

    I've been watching the evening news and have seen nothing of him in a week (same for MTP Daily) but i'm happy to hear from you that he is getting out and about. What I expect him to do is critique the status quo, and evidently you're saying he's doing that, which is good. But I don't think I'm alone in wondering what Joe is doing:

    I'm with Budwom. There is only so much exposure a candidate can get without being on the trail. During normal times, he's be giving stump speeches, shaking hands and kissing babies...and be followed by a slew of media. We'd see him 24/7 on news web sites.
    Right now, that isn't happening, all the while Trump is front and center two or three times a day with "task force" press conferences. It's a huge difference, and it is not easy for Joe to compete with.

    That article does not at all say what you imply. It isn't wondering what Joe is doing. It's describing what he is doing, and further describing why all of the daily broadcasts and interviews are having a hard time breaking through.

    You are Biden’s top strategist, what’s your advice under these circumstances? Curious what our posters think.


    Trump hasn’t stopped being Trump, even in these extraordinary circumstances. I think he’s missing a political opportunity and it shows in how little his approval has moved relative to other heads of state and governors. Someone must be making that case to him but he is who he is.

    Yes, he's missing an opportunity. Appearing on CNN and MSNBC is preaching to the choir...gotta get out to the rest of the electorate at some point.

    Are you suggesting he appear on Fox? OAN?

    What about a non-Fox broadcast network (CBS, ABC, NBC)? I'm not a big time news watcher, but if I watch news it is almost always one of those three. Very rarely do I ever turn on CNN/MSNBC/etc.

    Tiger King and presidential politics. Nothing surprises me anymore so, honestly, wondered why this hadn't happened sooner.


    Not horse race but this thread can withstand the occasional curio, methinks.

    I think it's interesting to consider what a legitimate advertising/media strategy for Biden would even look like. It is clear he has trouble drawing free airtime by being the uniter figure he seems to be trying to be. On the other hand, it seems unlikely that appearing on Fox is going to carry the day, either, since many of those who watch that network are undecided. So where do you go to capture the elusive center? The Big Three networks? Financial publications? Targeted social media campaigns?

    What does a winning strategy look like for someone who is currently struggling to even find oxygen in the room between a global pandemic and an opponent who is so over-the-top he is natural click-bait? It's a tough question, and I sure don't have the answers.

    Biggest take away from today?

    Why not? Several of the former Democratic candidates did Town Halls on Fox.

    Bernie did several, to his credit. And FWIW I thought they were journalistic and not slanted.
