Biden Spending Heavily to Defend Battlegrounds Democrats Won in 2016 (also in Colorado and Viriginia)
Breitbart ^ | September 01 2020 | HARIS ALIC

Former Vice President Joe Biden’s campaign is spending heavily on ads to fortify his standing in battleground states that Democrats won in 2016.

Biden’s team signaled over the weekend that it was moving up the start of its television ad campaign in Minnesota after protests racked the Minneapolis region following the shooting of Jacob Blake. Originally, the Democrat nominee’s campaign had planned to go on air in Minnesota on September 8. The decision, however, changed as the Republican Nation Convention and mounting concerns over continuing social unrest in America’s cities saw a boost in support for President Donald Trump.

Recent polling indicates that the president has narrowed Biden’s lead in the state, especially among suburban and blue-collar voters. Trump’s effort with the latter has been buoyed by the endorsement of six Democrat mayors from Minnesota’s Iron Range. The region, which borders Canada and Wisconsin, has generally favored Democrats for generations but is increasingly swinging toward the GOP. In 2016, the region was instrumental to Trump’s performance across Minnesota, a state he only lost by less than 45,000 votes out of more than 2.6 million.

VA may be flappable IF the RNC played it correctly.

The fact that Biden is having to spend in RAT states does bode well for his campaign.

“If the riots are really Trump’s fault do you think Democrats and the media would’ve spent the last three months calling them peaceful protests?”

It’s too late for Biden to come out against rioters now.

I saw a pretty effective ad by Slo Joe in Ohio yesterday. He’s got the Bloombox problem. Like Bloombox, he’ll have to personally seal the deal with wavering voters. Like Bloombox, he can’t, he has nothing but lying ads.

It’s certainly worth a try. Make the dims spend money to defend it.

Doesn’t necessarily mean anything. The DNC and Biden campaign have plenty of money, so they’re spending some to avoid unpredicted upsets, like Michigan and Wisconsin in 2016.

If Trump won NY, it’d be the greatest NY conservative coup since Jim Buckley took out Roger Goodell’s father in the Senate race of 1970.

The post RNC attack on Rand Paul was a huge mistake. The DC mayor’s inaction and lack of preparedness will require the DNC to do months of clean up.

Since Michigan is all mail-in voting, he doesn’t have to worry about that state going for Trump like it did in 2016.

Good, keep spending in those states. Less money to spend in the battleground states Trump won last time and is ahead in the polls this time.

The Democrats are corrupt enough that they can afford to lose an election but they can’t afford to lose their voter base.

Virginia is blue. Count on it.
The DC suburbs in the northern part of the state guarantee that. Those numbers can’t be overcome by the rural southern counties.
