Biden needs to hire some different campaign staff. My son-in-law just called me.

He has been giving money to Biden's campaign, and said they were thanking him by sending him a sticker. He received it, and was pissed. It says Beat Trump, which is no problem, but then has a PICTURE of Trump. He said "no way am I putting a picture of that moron on my car. What the hell!!!

Why would anyone suggest Biden change campaign managers...just very suspect to me...IMHO..there is NO way to validate this STORY..I do believe if you or I were to recv. a mailer such as this, we would go to our local BIDEN campaign headquarters first.. I will suggest Bernie supporters are loyal..and now need to get on the BIDEN band wagon..Bernie did!!!!

you are suddenly called suspect. And by the way, I didn't suggest Biden CHANGE CAMPAIGN MANAGERS. i suggested they hire better marketing people in their campaign. Please read the post. Also, I did not receive this sticker or I definitely would have done somehing about it, because its stupid marketing stratgey, but if you READ the post, you would see it came from my son-in-law who told me about it on the phone when we were talking this morning. He is not that politically involved and in fact this is the first time he has starting giving money to a campaign, because he is terrified Trump is going to win again and wants Biden to win. I really don't appreciate the inuendo that because I was a Bernie supportor, somehow I am not on the Biden bandwagon. That's pathetic.

He’s likely donating to a third-party source that’s not affiliated with the Biden campaign.

sent it. I did a quick search and didn't find the sticker described, suggesting whoever was sending them out didn't do many.

But it seems we all agree with your SIL that this would be a very inappropriate sticker and also agree that it's not reasonable to attack the Biden campaign until and if you saw this strange sticker and the envelope it arrived in confirmed the sender.

I don't want anything with his name or likeness on it.

As the political consultants are saying, we need to focus on the positive and what we're going to do when we win.

That sticker almost sounds like a joke, I have to wonder who thought that was a good idea?

Biden is likely kicking butt in several swing states (and then some) and is leading by an average of about 10% in most national polls. But because the clearly anti-Trump sticker does, in fact, have an image of Trump, he needs new staff?

Funny to see people here talk about lodging "complaints" to the campaign about it. Relax, ya'll.

He needs to double check where he sends money. For instance, both Act Blue and Biden’s campaign site are reliable. Bonus: if he donates directly to Biden, he gets on the mailing list for news, begging letters, and cool offers.
