 Joe Biden’s low-key campaign is all about hoping President Trump defeats himself

By Rich Lowry

The Biden campaign has been lucky most of all, but it’s also been smart — at least smart enough.

To go, as Joe Biden did, from left for dead to sweeping to the nomination and quickly thereafter emerging as the favorite in November is a run of success that would be the envy of any national politician.

It’s easy to consider this a mere accident given the weakness of Biden’s opponents, first a socialist in the Democratic primaries who had a ceiling on his support and now an incumbent president whose ratings have sagged.

The Biden team certainly isn’t going to rewrite any campaign playbooks or dazzle anyone with its brilliance, but it has avoided serious mistakes and demonstrated an understanding of the basic political terrain and its candidate’s strengths.

It hasn’t asked Biden to do anything out of his comfort zone or beyond his capabilities and has been content for President Trump to dominate all the attention, so long as Trump is not advancing his own cause, and often setting it back, with all the airtime and headlines.

Ol' white Joe's campaign is kept "low key" because it's the only hope they have of getting him elected.

Bring him out into the open and let him speak spontaneously.
Then let's see what happens.

Pack up National Review a previously known as conservative. Pack it up and toss it into the
trash. That clack of anti Trumpers remains a stain upon conservatism.

Sorry, I bought their crap for way too long.

White, American, MAGA, 3% Neanderthal, and 97% Extreme Right Wing Conservative.
