to completely change his campaign strategy. All the rallies, phone banks, fundraisers, and other in- person events have been halted by the Coronavirus. He and his whole campaign team are trying to figure out how to conduct a winning campaign in this brand new reality.

Here is what his website still looks like. All of this has been blown away by a virus.

1. This is so difficult for candidates, including those running for Congress and local offices.

They are all unable to have precinct walks, rallies, or phone banks.

He could however get people to sign up for lists of people to call from home, and do more with social networking. There's direct mail, TV and radio ad buys, and earned media/interviews too.

4. I'm sure they're working on that. But it's not an instantaneous process.

They didn't have an alternate campaign, all set up and ready to go.

8. That is so true.

I am involved in one state and one Congressional candidate's race. A planned town hall has been canceled. I will not be walking my precinct or my community. I have stopped placing signs.

The smart candidates are having telephone town halls and conference calls. But that only attracts those who are faithful already. I think they need to save their money for radio and television ads. Billboards would be useful, too.

2. That's why Trump's holding daily campaign rallies, pretending he's concerned about Americans'

health and welfare. Unfortunately for him, he's bombing.

7. He's losing voters with these idiot fests

My Trump neighbor, a staunch Repub not a worshipper, is done with him. He's lost confidence in his leadership. I don't think he'll vote for Biden, I think I'll just stay home which is almost as good.

3. And I know they will Do IT..

Thank you, pnwmom

5. I'm glad Biden's not mixing with lots of people each day.

He must be healthy during the campaign!

6. It will become difficult to get campaign contributions in this environment.

Citizens will soon be stretched very thin and those with compassion will be torn between the needs of charities, political campaigns and basic necessities of life.

This is another horrific effect of right-wing governments: they strip away support for poor and developing nations, causing charities to be stretched until they're broken not to mention starving our own crucial government functions like healthcare.

10. Bernie had his chance. He lost. Biden is doing great and has experience in pandemic and

global health matters. He was also involved in investigating cancer research. People will still want
normalcy and security. And of course preparedness for more pandemics.

11. There is no such thing as a nation "in a form that would never allow it to get destroyed again."

And socialism has proven not to be the magic solution you seek. Italy has socialized medicine and some of the best medical care in Europe. But it couldn't magically produce twice as many hospital beds or ICU units or doctors or nurses.

12. BS Lost and he spent 3x More $$$$ than Joe Biden to do it.

Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders raised a massive sum in February -- more than $47 million, according to his campaign's filing Friday with the Federal Election Commission.

And he spent nearly as much: Burning through $45 million -- or more than three times the $13.1 million spent by Biden's camp in February

It Boggles my freaking mind!

What's To "ASSESS"?..

Despite the heavy spending, Sanders entered March with a substantial financial cushion of nearly $18.7 million in leftover cash, his filings show.

Sanders said this week he still was assessing the state of his campaign after the string of Biden victories had effectively closed his path to the Democratic presidential nomination.

Thank you for the article, George.. somebody had to do a write on this phenomenal difference in the cash flow.. and who WON sometimes with spending No Money!

13. Thank you for that rational post.

This election needs a game changer. Sadly that's not what we are getting.

19. what did it say? TIA

15. Word salad and platitudes

Just like BS: All talk, only platitudes but no specifics and nothing concrete that could be realistically implemented.
Respectfully, you need to get out of your bubble where only BS is the messiah with all the answers and where every deviation of his gospel is the same old and no progress. Where is your regard for the millions that depend on the Dems saving Obamacare? That's one of those stark contrasts you apparently cannot see.

16. Amen.

TY.

14. May Both Joe and Bernie and their campaigns stay healthy and strong.

And, may they both survive the crazy bullshit of over-caffeinated supporters.

17. Glad to hear. Trump still on TV daily - Joe needs to be on daily, too. (nt)

[TheRickles]

18. Agreed

His campaign could be doing the re-tooling at the same time that he records some brief comments to broadcast every day. Even if it's not a formal press conference, but just a home video from his desk or living room couch, it'd give a nice homey feel, and would help provide a necessary counter to what's dominating the news now. Carpe diem!

23. And it would only appear on his Twitter feed.

Otherwise, you won't see it on the news.

Our useless media have no use for him, or any other Democrat, truth be known.

[Aquaria]

22. Joe doesn't control who the media puts on the air

He can't just go into a TV or radio station or a newspaper, and demand coverage. That's not how it works. Producers and editors decide who gets coverage. No one else.

If you're not hearing about Biden, it's not because he doesn't want to be heard. It's because the media has chosen not to hear him. So take it up with them, rather than blaming Biden (or any other Democrat) for things they have zero control over.

20. Joe just issued this video on Congressional priories

21. Thank you!

Getting very tired of certain bad players promoting this known nonsense, and not even a whimper from the moderators here, who are ever-so-eager to jump on anyone who criticizes BS.
