      If this is going to be Biden's major theme, it's a problem.https://twitter.com/joseph_hower/status/1234672535477702657 …

      Joseph E. Hower @joseph_hower
      If Buttigieg and Klobuchar's remarks are any indication, it seems Biden's camp is REALLY leaning into the "returning decency and dignity" to the White House. This weirdly Harding-esc campaign flies in the face of the dynamics that helped propel the past three election cycles.

      It’s pretty much the only kind of campaign that he’s temperamentally suited for. He’s not an ideological transformer or a policy wonk or a bureaucratic manager.

      Being a good man whose life has been scarred by tragedy is what he most convincingly projects. Yes, I understand he has often failed that standard, but that’s his brand. If you were his campaign manager, what else would you possibly recommend *for him*?

      I am agnostic on this, but what’s the evidence this was a bad strategy last time?

      The logic is: it was HRC's message, she lost, therefore it was a bad message then, therefore it will also be a bad message in 2020. (Last 2 steps are leaps that people treat as self-evidently true).

      It's not just that she lost but also, crucially, that big chunks of the Obama coalition (young, including young POC) were demobilized by this message. To be fair, message did bring in some new voters in formerly GOP suburbs, but not enough.

      I’m agnostic on this as well, but I am not sure there is evidence to show that was the cause of demobilization

      And Jeet, stipulate you’re right: what could **Joe Biden** do as a presidential candidate that would, in fact, mobilize the demobilized? Not Obama, not Bernie, not AOC. But Biden. He can’t pull that off. Win or lose, this is his best play. Mensch v monster.

      Agree it's the best, by far, argument Biden has. Just not sure it's enough.

          That’s fine, but how sure are you that the argument of anyone else is enough either? Are you sure that Bernie’s arguments are enough,? Or warns arguments enough? It all seems up in the air.

          I'm not sure it's the best argument or a sufficient argument, but the case for it is pretty straightforward, via @Nate_Cohn :https://twitter.com/Nate_Cohn/status/1234684509741711361 …

          I'll be a little more pointed: what is your theory of why the president is unpopular and vulnerable to defeat, despite a strong economy and so on? I think his personal conduct is the obvious answer here.

          Isn’t the best argument Biden has simply, “Pennsylvania.”?

          Now that you might well be right about that. But I think it’s pretty much that everybody has motivated reasoning here depending on which candidate they support. I can theorize either or both Biden or Bernie winning. But I can also theorize either or both of them losing.

          The biggest difference btwn Biden 2020 & HRC 2016, imo, is that everyone now knows Trump’s playbook. Previously his M.O. was discounted as self-defeating, now we know different (regardless of the Democratic candidate), and can prepare differently

          Not sure it's enough but it's an effective argument. It will resonate with suburban white women, who worry about Trump's impact on their kids, and people of color, who have been directly affected by Trump's lack of decency. I settled on Biden because of it.

          If it was any kind of argument. Would the Dem establishment have spent the last 14 months desperately trying to prop up a half dozen other candidates?
