Basement strategy, part 2.

You have to ask why did that strategy work in 2020?

Among reasons, the biggest one was that the best campaigner for the Democrats in 2020 was President Trump.

Who is the best campainger for the democrats in 2024? Yup, you guess it - President Trump.

So, if something worked the last time, and things have not changed a whole lot.................

It is the Republics who need to change their campaign strategy, but President Trump is unable or unwilling to let that happen.

Look at his press conference from yesterday afternoon. A repeat about 2020, an attack on Gov. Kemp, etc.

But at least he had a presser. Kamala-lama-ding-dong was asked yesterday when she was going to do a press conference. She replied that the reporter needed to talk to her staff, that they were working on something by the end of the month.

Maybe it will be like the last press conference she did... I think it was January, and she had all the questions beforehand...

@Jolly See my post above yours. LOL

I know you like US football. Imagine your team plays a team from the next town. During the game, the other team makes lots of penalties, throws you the ball, fumbles, etc etc etc.. Your offensive team is not very good, but the other team is so bad that you win the game.

You play them later in the season. The other team has the same players, and you have watched video of their games from all season, and they do the same thing with other teams that they did during your game.

Would you change your strategy for the game? Probably not.

I agree that VP Harris is "running" from the press, but what "upside" is there for her to change? Whether this can last for 90 days until the election is probably doubtful. But they will continue to use this strategy as long as possible.

Jolly

She can't run from the press unless they let her.

Think on that.

She can do it regardless.

The press complained about the lack of press conferences from President Biden. President Trump had not given a press conference for 8-9 months since becoming the nomination for President.

But again, that all does not change the basic fact. What is the "upside" to her doing press conferences? The Democrats know what worked for the last election and is working for this election. Staying low and letting the opposition do the work for you.

You see no complicity in the media?

taiwan_girl

Sure there is. I agree with that.

But again, back to the basic question - what is the upside for her and the Democrats to do a press conference? I am repeating myself but President Trump is the best campaigner for the Democrats. The current strategy is low risk - high reward.

I don't fault them for doing it. I may not like it, you may not like it, but it seems to be working.
