    Normally one would complain that the main news outlets have generally ignored Biden & continue to give Trump tons of earned media but ... it's working out well for Biden!https://twitter.com/ThePlumLineGS/status/1274389866042834947 …

        I mean, they were within the margin of error nationally. And they dropped precipitously after the October comey letter.

        Trump's campaign strategy is to put himself in the headlines. Biden's campaign strategy is also to put Trump in the headlines.

        seen some convincing research that massive coverage of all of Trump's scandals actually did hurt him, it's just that the constant EMAILS coverage hurt Clinton more

        that's consistent with their approval ratings racing to the bottom, with Clinton winning by a nose

        Trump and Biden agree that Trump should be the center of attention

        I mean unless something majorly changes between now and November, we'll probably be at half a million dead from COVID, record unemployment, stock market collapse, etc. Demonstrations in the street aren't going away and they'll have more to demonstrate against.

        Replying to @HeerJeet

        In Obama's presidency, people talked about how when the president weighs in on something it gets politicized, so for some policies it's best to just let them play out without going full bully pulpit. Feels like that insight is at work to some degree in Biden's campaign strategy.

        Didn't this happen in 16 as well? Whoever was getting the coverage did worse?
