Philippe Reines on Joe Biden ‘If It Ain’t Broke, Don’t Leave the Basement’
EXCERPT:
REINES: "Well, he’s interacting with voters in the most important way. He’s speaking to them. I would argue that more people are hearing what he is saying because the networks, including Fox, are paying more attention to it rather than how many people are on the line, how many people are in the audience, how many selfies he’s taking. I think if it ain’t broke, don’t leave the basement. And it’s not like he’s being lazy, it's not like he doesn’t want to meet people. He’s being prudent, he's following the advice of medical and professional public health officials. I’m sure he is itching to get back on the trail. Just because Donald Trump wants to go back on the trail this week doesn’t mean that’s the correct thing to do. What’s most important is what Joe Biden says to the American electorate, and what he is saying seems to be working. Donald Trump probably wants Joe Biden out of the basement because the Joe Biden that’s in the basement is beating him pretty resoundingly."
