The Biden 2020 campaign, believing Joe leads President Trump just weeks before the final election day, adopts a “Don’t touch anything!” strategy, according to Amie Parnes in TheHill.com. Democratic strategists coach the former vice president to avoid mistakes and risky interviews to run out the clock on Donald Trump. Could extreme caution be the most dangerous approach?

It’s all about momentum.
Most people really don’t pay attention to politics or elections until about three weeks before, if that.
Breitbart’s headlines today are starting to reflect that the polling is shifting in Trump’s favor. He has a “narrow” lead among independents; he’s “marginally” ahead in Pennsylvania, and so forth.
I pray this is a trend.
A prevent defense doesn’t.
I will tell you as a physician that indeed Biden is in the center of the target that CoVid-19 hits. Dementia is the main problem. Isolation accelerates the morbidity and mortality of this degenerative neurologic pathology.
YouTube is the second largest search engine in the world just behind Google and both are owned by Google. I was doing some SEO work on YouTube the other day and discovered that the search volume for Trump was 5x what it was for Biden for the last month.
Now, I’m willing to grant that Trump is the president, but even when comparing searches of “pence vs harris” to “harris vs pence,” “pence vs harris” had significantly more searches and I would suspect that people would search that putting their favored candidate first.
Reality doesn’t exist just because you observe it. You can only observe what passes into the present from a probabilistic future and then passes into a concrete past. That’s what the double-slit experiment actually demonstrated.
Sorry – chasing an inflated ball up and down a manicured field is not a “sport”.
It looks as if the demonrats are purposely trying to lose.
They are believing their own false propaganda again.
See http://primarymodel.com/ They predict Trump has a 91% chance of winning the election. The Primary Model has picked the winner in 25 out of 27 elections since 1912.
Wow! Thank you.
This is a bad (or good) case of Deja Vu, an exact mirror of the 2016 election.
The Democrats –
The Republicans –
Conclusion? Doing the same thing repeatedly while expecting a different result is a definition of insanity.
The people who are voting early either in person or by mail would have voted for the same candidate on Election Day, their minds are already made up. The number of them that could have had their vote swayed by anything is insignificant.
The same goes for people like me, I knew who I was going to vote for long before the Democrats even picked a candidate. My interest in the Democrat choice for candidate revolved solely around which one of the competing idiots would damage the Democrat Party the most. I was mildly disappointed when the Democrat Party had to pull some chicanery to nudge Bernie Sanders out … But Joe Biden was a poor choice also AND tacking Heels-Up Harris on as VP when she couldn’t even muster any sort of enthusiasm in the Primary was a serious mistake.
I know, I know … “Don’t get cocky, kid”, and I’m not. I’m seeing a pattern here that might be with us for a while. I’m not counting pre-hatched chickens, I’ll be going to vote. I suspect there are a lot of people like me that are not only going to vote because we have the superior candidate but also because it’s a chance to stick a thumb in the eye of our leftist adversaries.
Item 1: now tell us what you really think!
Item 6: historically former Republican presidents tend not to truly endorse the current Republican candidate. No really sure why – rectitude, etc.? But I don’t see a former President Trump hiding his lamp in a basket.
“tacking Heels-Up Harris” Oooooohh! since that involves two heels, can we call this a treble entendre?
I’m gonna adapt my favorite blonde joke:
Q. Why does Kamala Harris wear panties?
A. To keep her ankles warm.
Dangit, MP, you might just owe me a keyboard!
It rarely works, even in sports, unless you’re way ahead near the end of the game — and this is far from established. As John Madden was fond of saying, “The Prevent Defense doesn’t ‘prevent’ anything.
It’s been their strategy since the nomination – they have far fewer points than they think they have.
The vast self-righteous virtue-signaling masses can tsk-tsk-tsk all they want. I will continue to say that they can pretend to be sick, and I will pretend to wear a damned mask.
This whole collection of COVID-19 BS is just that — BS! It’s meant to scare those, who are easily frightened, into rolling over and submitting to the tyrannical control of their so-called betters. I say they can all go to hell with the tyrants, and my life will continue along while being mildly-inconvenienced at the grocery and hardware stores.
Houston Oilers vs Buffalo Bills
Also Atlanta Falcons vs New England Patriots.
Vs anybody…?
This year, anyway.
I hope it a run away Trump victory if for nothing else than to make my co-workers cry. Again.
I used to do morning radio shows for a local college station which was run by people who went on to start an NPR affiliate for the area. Close to the 1988 presidential election, I sat in a meeting of that group and the election came up. Everybody looked solemn and worried and one woman spoke up to say, in the voice of a petulant child, “But Dukakis just has to win!”
The day after the 2016 election, a Facebook comment thread I was in had a number of female participants who I knew from being in the local acting community. One of them didn’t like my comment that we had chosen Ebola over cancer. (Yes, that was my opinion at the time. Things change.) One of the ladies replied, “Just go away and let us mourn!”
I’m also looking forward to the tears.
Don’t forget the “lamentations!”
Wailing, gnashing of teeth…all of it.
It’s too bad we won’t be able to get Ahhhnold to repeat that line as a victory dance after the election, but he’s gone full TDS.
Well, he turned out to be a RINO governator, too…
F him.
I work in DC and, when Trump won, the office put out an email saying people were “handling the election in different ways” and we weren’t to discuss politics for a few weeks. I think the obvious double standard made it even more glorious.
Side-benefit: all the salt in this town means the roads are perfectly clear in winter.
I haven’t seen any reports of “surges” in cases following big Trump rallies. Hm…
The rallies are being held in red states, which tend to have greater anti-bodies to Communist inspired ideas and diseases. Perhaps they also tend to be more law abiding and rule abiding when the rules are presented as wise guidance rather than mandates.
Too bad we let the news media flip the red vs. blue designations on us (back in 1988?).
I meant virus outbreaks, but agreed.
“Soccer is hockey at the speed of golf.” – Michael Piz
And infinitely more boring.
I can and have enjoyed a PGA championship. I have played enough golf to appreciate what the masters can accomplish. I have not and cannot devote the 10,000 hours it would take me to become merely competent let alone a master.
Soccer? I view it as an effete other world game with vanishingly little content. Would I ban it? No but I won’t watch it if it were the only thing available to watch. I would much rather take a walk in the woods and contract poison Ivy.
My dad was an avid golfer. I never took an interest but I respect the skills.
As for soccer, I would rather sit on a porcupine. It combines the excitement of the middle of a marathon with the thrill of removing a particularly difficult nose hair.
Soccer could be a good game with a few rule changes so players can score without flopping. Mainly, the offside rule is trying to enforce equal outcomes, without understanding that’s the point of sports. That’s lefties for you, though, they can plainly see their ideas don’t work in what’s essentially a laboratory experiment, and they still insist they must be right because justice.
At least hockey is visually-and emotionally-engaging for the spectators. Soccer is a sleep inducer that is too often interrupted by the screaming of the petulant children on the field. (Don’t get me started about women’s soccer instead of the men’s)
True, though I don’t follow hockey. Wasn’t dumping on it, just mocking soccer. Because of course you mock soccer. Who doesn’t?
I don’t “follow” any sport like so many fans do. However, having grown up in The Great White North, I do enjoy a good hockey game — whether I am spectating or playing (and I am am a poor player anymore due to age and laziness).
Of course, soccer must be mocked like all soy-boy-feminazi activities.
I enjoyed playing soccer when i was 7 years old; with a rubber dodge ball. Games were more chaotic and rambunctious then, too. Never saw or had an opportunity back then to graduate to any more serious “soccer league” type play.
But a thought that may disturb, if not terrify, real football fans: if the brain damage issue from rough impacts on players gets more serious attention, and parents don’t promote it in that form for their kids, then the alternative is professional level flag football — another game entirely, I suspect.
I don’t see any helmet designs that can protect the brain inside the skull. F=MA still applies. Unless we move to robot players?
Wasn’t there a movie with some sort of robot assisted combat game?
You might be thinking of Rollerball, although I don’t recall robotic assistance in it.
Despite it being soccer, I do have a favorite soccer team – Manchester United. But that’s only because it was the first team in any sport that I had heard of with such a weird name. It’s not the Manchester Tigers or the Manchester United Tigers, just Manchester United.
(I also like them because they’re British babe Rachel Riley’s favorite team. As good a reason as any.)
I know it was not Rollerball although I still cannot recall the movie name. I can now almost “see” the main actor but still can’t place his name = short chunky well muscled guy (but not Stallone). I think the human combatants put on some sort of harness or suit that transmitted their physical actions (and strategy) to their respective robotic warrior. His robot was designed to take a lot of punishment and then supply a “coup to grace” when an opening occurred, while the opposing human and his robot were bigger and more agile in some way (forget the details).
There was a boxing based movie with Hugh Jackman named Real Steel, I think. Boxing with people had fallen out of favor and robots had taken over, mostly being programmed with series of punches or blocks a controller could send via a remote control. Hugh ends up controlling his robot when it is damaged by having it watch him (he was a former boxer) and just mirror his movements.
