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.
So I’d say. . .Harris is no Roosevelt.
Still, once in a while this basement strategy can work. Maybe McKinley was going senile too and had to hide it to win.
And 2, McKinley was in no basement. He conducted massive rallies from his front porch every day. People traveled to his house to hear him speak.
Slow Joe on the other hand has Ka ma la who is a joke and Hiden Joe is holding no rallies from his house. He is hiding in the basement.
I just watched a video on this campaign. McKinley was an incumbent who won his first race handily and had confidence he was popular. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VkepYLa8xfo&ab_channel=Mr.Beat
He had an energetic (42 years old) and popular VP who was barnstorming for him. Why leave the front porch?
Completely not comparable to Biden who's challenging a popular incumbent who's been successful. Biden's relying on character assassination from the media.
The media doesn't realize how little they're relevant.
“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.
