What if, and just hear me out, we boost Trump's visibility in the media to remind voters that this an election between him and Joe? Once they see that they'll just vote for Joe. There's no way they would vote in Trump! Someone like that being president?! No way. Joe would win handedly.

Also Joe needs to avoid Wisconsin.

You're forgetting that the party as well as all their donors want Trump. They aren't running an election to win, they're running it to lose just enough to give them plausible deniability.

They love Trump because it means they don't need to justify anything. They just need to occasionally come out and condemn him. He also pulls criticism for the system onto himself. He's the ultimate heel.

I guarantee Pelosi has never seen more donations than immediately after she sassily applauded Trump that one time
