Democratic Primaries
In reply to the discussion: where is Joe Biden lately? i haven't seen him for a few days [View all]radius777

As an older candidate who makes gaffes, he needs to take the Reagan route of prioritizing quality over quantity. He has been doing this successfully over the past few weeks (and winning) whereas before he was spreading himself too thin and messing up often.
Joe can't appear to be politicizing this crisis, it's too dangerous and could blow back on him.
I do share your fear about Trump trying to act like FDR or something (lol), and stupid people buying in this. The stimulus and other gov't actions taken are classic Democratic strategies that are antithetical to the GOP's anti-gov't philosophy. Voters need to understand this, why they need to elect a Democrat for these times.
