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

Posted on 09/02/2020 5:25:31 AM PDT by knighthawk

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.

Follow the money and the ad buys and you will know what the real polls say and not the ones we have endless threads about here commissioned by the media.

However, I am very uneasy about the mail-in ballot push. At this point why else would they keep schools closed unless they had to have mail-in ballots? It does not make much sense and in their own words, they are “not following the science” or listening to the doom doctors.

Here in Colorado a scattering of Trump signs but zero Biden sign in the suburbs. I dont know about Denver / Boulder as I really try to avoid those areas.

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

Especially when there are terabytes of records on the Internet with Pee Pads and Knee Pads supporting them.

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

Michigan may be pushing mail-in voting, but it's not mandatory. My 95-year old mom has every intention of voting in person - and she'll drive herself there too. She's a tough cookie who has lived through one communist coup already and doesn't want another one.

It maybe blue but if Trump has BiteMe spending money there and playing defense that’s money BiteMe can’t spend in PA or MI. I read in another thread BiteMe was spending money on ads in Maryland. It sounds like Trump has the big mo and BiteMe is back on his heels. Trump needs to put the pedal to the metal and not let up until the day after the election.

Virginia gun owners could flip their state. Colorado should be a purple state but residents ae too high to think.

Biden is not spending crap. Biden’s surrogates are. Biden does not know what part of the universe he is in. The only reason he knows that he is not home is that he is not burning up.

Biden Spending Heavily to Defend Battlegrounds Democrats Won in 2016 (also in Colorado and Viriginia)

If Hillary has spent heavily to defend battleground states the Democrats has won in 2012 then she probably wouldn't have lost Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin. Biden isn't making the same mistakes. He'll spend to hold the states Hillary won in 2016 and still have plenty of money to battle Trump in Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Arizona, North Carolina, and Florida.

Believe it or not NY is flipable at this point.

I'm sure many Democrats are thinking Texas if flipable at this point as well. Both will be disappointed.

You have a point about making Hiden’ Biden and Heels Up spend money in supposedly safe states.

If Biden is spending money in Maryland then things are worse than I thought. The Dem internals must be underwater. Big league.

Indeed they are. Not in any way signs of a campaign with confidence.

“Indeed they are. Not in any way signs of a campaign with confidence.”

The Hiden’ Biden/Heels Up Harris ticket makes the Carter/Mondale ticket of 1980 look like a contender.
