David Plouffe, who oversaw Barack Obama’s storied 2008 bid for the White House, says he has an “overarching concern” about Joe Biden’s campaign strategy against a media-savvy incumbent with a large financial advantage. Plouffe said he is particularly alarmed by the former vice president’s failure to leverage social media and dazzling visuals while President Trump dominates headlines during the coronavirus pandemic.
“It’s a challenge for Joe Biden,” Plouffe told “Skullduggery” podcast hosts Michael Isikoff and Daniel Klaidman in an interview. “But Trump gets this, and his campaign gets this: It’s blunt force communication. ... What I’m very worried about is [that] we’re going to see tens of millions of dollars of advertising in battleground states any moment.”
Plouffe said he expects a “massive online advertising onslaught” that “tries to re-create reality” and “hero worship” Trump as a formidable leader throughout the coronavirus crisis. Even allowing for doubts about the administration’s slow response to the coronavirus and the economic recession that has resulted from it, Plouffe said, “this election will be decided on the margins.”
**SNIP**
Plouffe was also critical, saying, “Time is of the essence for the Biden campaign to really begin running the general election.” Trump has polled relatively well in the wake of the virus, and even seen a slight uptick in support, which Plouffe attributed to citizens wanting “our president to succeed.”

Quick - pretend you are black!
The Biden panic is taking hold.
Biden has a secret plan to win: he will challenge Trump to a push-ups contest.
Plouffe knows perfectly well that Biden is not going to be the nominee.
Prediction - Cuomo is running for President, the Dems are preparing to ditch Biden
I’d just shorten it to “Up yours!”.
“Obama’s ‘08 campaign manager warns Biden: Up your game, now!”
Up your ass now Joe.
Last ditch attempt to persuade PRESIDENT TRUMP to blow through millions of dollars in campaign money to upend SLO-JOE. LOL
Uh....hate to say it, Skippy.....Biden IS at the top of his game right now. It’s only going downhill from here.
Trump is getting 30 to 60 minutes a day for free and doing a great job with it.
Biden is not “UP” to it...
What game? Biden’s only game is faking it and then forgetting abouddit.
Obama, you pulled it off - fooled the gullible and the easily duped. Biden, no way.
Bad touch Biden thinks AR-14’s are the problem in America.
And how could any Democrat have anticipated that? :)
I think he needs to eat some spinach.
“He stayed at home in Delaware”
yep, Slo Joe is “cowering in place” ...
“The Trump campaign has a huge organization [and] all the money in the world to drive turnout as high as they can in every battleground state, which is what I’m most concerned about,”
gosh, they’ve dropped the nonsense that they were spouting back in 2016 that “Trump has no ground game” ...
““The Biden campaign has an acute need to really up their game and understand how people receive information today,” Plouffe said. “It’s a weakness of most Democrats.””
gosh, i remember when the obama campaign was touted as the social media Kraken of the universe, and that the poor old GOP was a digital dinosaur that could never, ever catch up with the hip, digital Democrat geniuses in a bazillion years ...
btw, I give Plouffe kudos for his stark, no-sugar-coating gimlet eyed analysis of the Biden campaign many massive failings ...
Trump’s upped his game, so up yours!
Joe Biden is too old, and I’m 67!@
