The standard Dem campaign rules this year:
1) Don't campaigning with Joe Biden. His poll numbers are toxic.
2) Don't debate. If this is unavoidable, delay until the early voting is mostly done. Why? There is no defense to the Dem policies that have led to disaster after disaster on the economy, crime, and border.
3) Discuss only abortion in any interview.
4) Never acknowledge that you have voted lockstep with all of policies of Joe Biden. Pretend you are an outsider who has nothing to do with it.
5) Say "democracy".
6) If asked if Old Joe should run again, never answer.
