Congratulations to our presumptive Democratic nominee, Joe Biden!
Biden Runs Like It's a Primary of One
June 17, 2019 at 3:23 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard
New York Times: In ways big and small, Bidens choices underscore his determination to play by his own rules in the Democratic primary, gambling that his widespread name recognition and status as early poll-leader free him to set a pace and tone sharply distinct from his competitors. And as his decades-long record in government comes under increasing criticism from his partys left flank, Mr. Biden keeps bringing attention back to November 2020.
That emphasis on Mr. Trump and brushoff of his opponents is the right approach for Mr. Biden right now, many political veterans say. Whether he can maintain that strategy is another question, as other candidates intensify their attacks on him, and some gain ground in key early-voting states like Iowa.

It could also be saving the campaign a lot of money.

His strongest appeal is a high likelihood to beat trump in 2020. None of the policy proposals mean anything unless you win.

ATTITUDE IS EVERYTHING. It was actually stifling.
But it is true. And maybe, just maybe he is the winning candidate. So, act like one.
