All they have to do is keep talking and this going to be an easy win for the democrats

Democrats still have to offer something. Republicans have been saying loony shit forever.

He promised a lot, including a $2000 covid check (of which he delivered $1400). And he barely scraped by one of the weakest incumbents in modern history. You're not dead in the water with a "let them just say weird shit" strategy, it's just not a very good one.

The covid factor really can't be understated, too. Hard to draw any firm conclusions from 2020 due to that.
