After his stumbling performance in Thursday night’s debate, and the way in which his campaign seems to be hiding him from public view, it’s hard to imagine how Joe Biden wins the presidency on Nov. 3. If Biden was seriously trying to win, he would be out on the campaign trail like President Trump, not in his basement. The way Biden is acting, it’s almost as if he’s been told not to worry, the outcome is not going to be decided by vote tallies. With that in mind, let’s think outside the box and examine some possibilities that may sound...
