Never interrupt an adversary when he is in the middle of making a mistake -Napoleon Bonaparte
Trump is going try to change the focus of his public appearances from the Coronavirus, where he fucked-up spectacularly, to the economy, which is about to get much worse. Its like hes trying to save himself from a sinking ship by strapping himself to the anchor.
Tragedy aside, I like the Biden submarine strategy for now.

(14,154 posts)Have regular press briefings. Outline how HE would be handling situations as they change daily. Regularly face the cameras and not only act Presidential and informative, but also to be reassuring and compassionate, something the current POTUS lacks.
Hiding will backfire. As soon as any good news for Trump comes out. Anything he can take credit for whether warranted or not. Even simply that as States open up more, the economy starts to improve again. And he goes on a tear taking all the credit and boasting how they should have listened to him earlier blah blah blah. Joe only then poking his head up to bash Trump will be seen as weak. He needs to show us just what kind of leader we can expect from him. To display the comparison NOW, not later when its too late.

(56,827 posts)if you searched DU back in 2016, I bet that same quote from Napoleon was featured on here at LEAST once a week.
In politics, when you let your opponent dominate the news coverage 24/7 for weeks on end - even if it's 99% negative - when you yourself do get into the news, it magnifies any mistake/gaffe/scandal by a thousand fold, even if it's a fake scandal (Biden and Burisma/Hunter Biden or Hillary Clinton and emails)

Really after the last disinfectant cure anyone who supports the turd will not be swayed

Although I would like to see a little bit of a higher profile from Biden right now. He can't go underground and stay there for too long. People forget.
