Brave and inspired leadership.
Oh, wait...
@taiwan_girl has it right:
Avoid stepping on your dick, and you'll be OK.
For a while.
He needs to be more aggressive.
OTOH, the other side of this is that the true believers will vote for Biden, or Trump, and the actions or non-actions will not change their opinions. The question is whether the tactics affect the (ever smaller) undecided vote. If I were undecided, I might take note of why one candidate is all over the place, and the other isn't.
OTOH again, Biden is spending a lot more in advertising in swing states than OrangeMan, so there's that to consider. If you only see one guy on TV, is he really absent?

Hillary was ahead it the polls also. By more than the polls say Biden is now. I saw a Biden support in PA being I interviews- she said she had a Biden sign in her yard, but except for her sign it was Trump signs as far as the eye could see....
I wonder... could it be that Trump voters are telling pollsters they're voting for Bide....... nah... couldn't be....
BWAHAAAAAAHAHAHAHAAAAA

I have a feeling they are going to be victim to the sae thing they were in 2016 - hubris. they think they can run simply on anti-Trump sentiment.

Well, thank God Mr. Trump is never guilty of that particular sin.

He's not in this case. The man is working hard at being reelected. The same cannot be said for Biden.

I suspect Trump loves campaigning at least partly because it allows him to go on about how freaking awesome he is. He's had rallies for his entire presidency.
I'm not defending Biden, he's a piss-poor candidate. But let's not pretend that Trump is a modest man working humbly away to get elected by an electorate he respects and wishes to serve.
I was only joking

You projected that. It's not what I said at all. I said he's working hard to get re-elected. while Joe sits in his basement.

My point was about hubris. There's certainly no shortage.
-
I suspect this time around it's because somebody has said 'let's let Trump shoot himself in the foot, whilst simultaneously stepping on his dick', and assumed they'd win based on not being the last person to say/Tweet something stoopid.
I also think it's a mistake, as it happens.

Regardless of the specifics of this election, I wonder how much influence these election events all over the US have.
I'd guess that a person who buys tickets to an event like that has already made up his or her mind. Would somebody who sits on the fence buy a ticket for an event and be convinced by the speech or something?

There are massive get out the vote drives. It’s pretty easy to identify people by party now, those with a low propensity to vote. You get a knock on the door by someone who looks like you or something in the mail handwritten and mailed by a volunteer who gets a packet of people to send a mailing to.
Minds are made up but getting them to vote is still in the balance.
