Joe Biden is relying on Americans being sick of Donald Trump, a state of affairs which would make a butcher's block of red-meat rallies counterproductive for the president.
WASHINGTON - - Democrats have a counterintuitive plan for the final week of the presidential campaign: more Donald Trump, less Joe Biden.
As the president ramps up his barnstorming tour between now and next Tuesday's election, Biden's markedly lighter schedule looks like that of an incumbent congressman who has no opponent. The Democratic nominee took Monday off entirely, while Trump held rallies across Pennsylvania - in Allentown, Lancaster and Martinsburg.
If Trump wins, Biden will surely face recriminations from within his party for sitting on a lead. But Republicans seem more eager than Democrats to get Biden out on the trail, an indication that his four-corners strategy is perceived by both parties as a smart tack.
"He's waved a white flag on life," Trump said Monday in response to Biden charging that the president has surrendered the fight against the coronavirus. "This guy doesn't leave his basement."
Trump wants Biden to appear more often. Meanwhile, many Democrats are thrilled that Trump is holding more of his signature campaign rallies. They routinely highlight his most pugnacious tendencies. They also remind voters who don't attend them that Trump's focus on personal squabbles is virtually unlimited, while his focus on the coronavirus pandemic is sharply limited.

Biden debated Trump and his staff had to run around and explain he wasn’t against fossil fuels and fracking. Biden gives an interview and his staff has to explain and clean up his free college plan . I don’t think Biden is the one needing rest, it is his staff. So basically they put Biden in the basement to keep him from committing political suicide and to give the staff a rest!
Biden’s end game strategy is fear - being afraid. Trump’s is energy and courage.
“Actually I read recently that the winner of the 1900 election (McKinley) had Biden’s strategy. The winner stayed in his basement and won. But he also had VP Teddy Roosevelt out campaigning.”
It was typical to allow surrogates to do the major campaigning. That changed right around the turn of the last century, actually.
You would expect otherwise? Remember, the Progressives (commies) own the Marxist State Media pimps and whores!!!!
Probably the most accurate statement in the entire article.
