13. Biden has two major issues he can win on and he's using them.

1. Trump himself is a grand issue to run on and Biden is playing like a master in just letting Trump blabber and insult even "rinos" calling then disloyal, unpatriotic, weak, etc. His absurd sales of cards and sneakers to the rubes just shows how he views he views people and his folllowers in particular as morons who will buy anything he says or does. Even the dumbest and most loyal of them are growing tired of him whining and playing the victim.

2. Abortion rights. It's a sure loser for him and repub politicians in general. In order to keep the MAGAs voting for them they have to appease evangelical hard liners who claim even embryos are darling little babies who die if anyone accidentally leaves one out of thee freezer. The opposite is true for the Repug and Indie women who have had abortions or think they (or on of their friends or family) may need one.

And Biden and the Dems in general have an uncountable number of videos, tapes, photos, of Trump and his True Believers spouting off the onerous crap they're yelling about.
