I don't get it. Fundraing? No states worth campaigning in?

I don't doubt it. Probably get substantial anonymous donations from sources in New York.

The Iowa poll yesterday sent shockwaves through their cold, dead hearts. The fear is back and they're scrambling to figure out how to respond.aginlakeway said:

Democrats are on edge going into the final days of the general election campaign, but say they believe Joe Biden has been doing enough to win the White House and defeat President Trump.
"We're all f---ing nervous as s***," one Democratic strategist said. "But the stars aligned for us, I think. And I think that's good enough. I think we'll have a different outcome this time around. I hope so, anyway."
Much of the apprehension for Democrats is rooted in the shocking defeat by Trump in 2016, when they expected their nominee, Hillary Clinton, to win but she fell short.
Quote:
There have also been grumblings about Biden's light travel schedule and the campaign's organizing and door-knocking operation beginning later than usual due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Still, as the Democratic strategist said, "I think it'll be enough to put us over the finish line."
LOL. Yeah, whatever.Quote:
Biden has been campaigning in Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, the three states that cost Clinton, and most polls show him with a durable lead.
He is also contending in Iowa, Ohio and Florida, along with states seen as long shots for Democrats, such as Texas and Georgia.
All of those states are seen as toss-ups, as is Arizona, another state won by Trump in 2016.
A bunch of campaign doofuses.Quote:
Biden, who will turn 78 next month, spent much of the general election sidelined because of the pandemic, which Democrats say was both positive and negative for the Democratic nominee.
It would set the tone of his campaign, telegraphing to voters that Biden and his team believed in following science and social distancing at rallies. It also intentionally served as a contrast to Trump, who defied guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and held rallies with thousands of jam-packed supporters. At the same time, it kept Biden off the campaign trail, where he could make headlines and draw cable news commentary.
Because of the pandemic, Biden's campaign was also late to traditional organizing including door-knocking and in-person interactions. At the start of the fall, they surprised Democrats including former aides to former President Obama by saying they would run an all-virtual organizing operation. After seeing the consternation it had caused, Biden's camp quickly reversed course.
The HillQuote:
"Biden ran the campaign he was comfortable running," Democratic strategist Michael Trujillo said, adding that he still has some doubts about the outreach to Hispanic voters.
"I believe given a pandemic he has done everything he could do to get voters to vote, but we all know the gold standard is door knocking, let's hope they knocked on enough doors to win," he said.
That is a sentiment echoed by other Democrats who for months have openly wondered about how Biden could keep up with an opponent who was constantly on the move.
As recently as this month, as Biden sought to run out the clock with leads in most battleground states, Democrats privately opined that he should be doing more.
"Staying in the basement or even in Delaware wasn't an option," said one mega donor at the time. "They knew they had to do more."
Agree. Needing to shore up the Blue Wall this late in the election cycle is a massive campaign blunder. They knew Hillary had lost them yet put no boots on the ground at all for a GOTV effort. They got taken in by the fear of the corona to the point they abandoned any semblance of an actual campaign.GAC06 said:
If Trump wins, the only thing that will be more entertaining than the liberal meltdown will be watching them turn on Biden and rip him to shreds.

Some irony in that. They thought they had the superior position on the corona...and it killed them. (metaphorically speaking, of course.)

N.C. and Pennsylvania are trending Trump but they've got Democrat Governors - so I need a bit more good intel to move them.

"Equitable treatment means we all end up the same place" - how stupid can you be in only 10 words! No matter what, we don't end up the same place. People's effort and attitude have the biggest impact on where they end up, followed way back by their talent.Silvertaps said:centexaggie2010 said:
